I have owned a number of bluetooth earbuds in the last couple years, but they have always been cheap and generally pretty useless. I'm not talking about a bluetooth headset for answering calls, mind you, but an actual set of bluetooth earbuds for listening to music while moving around your home, or perhaps exercising.
