transmitting via bluetooth to headphones.

[ShawWellPete]

I am finding that I use my ipad quite a lot a the gym. It is great on the cross trainer and on the bikes and I can watch a series and abide boring cardio much better!

The headphone cable is the one problem and I am worried I may catch it and throw the ipad to the floor.

Is there any way of transmitting from the ipad via bluetooth to my headphones? would something like this work?

It would be quite neat to use the same thing for my car so the ipad could be passed around while streaming music to the cars ipod jack.

I had a set of these that work really well with iPhone for both music and voice calls (they have a mic built in).

I got rid because they were not good with my glasses

Audio quality is ok... bass perfomance not amazing but decent enough for gym etc. Range was about 20 feet.

Best things I've bought in years - superb sound quality....battery life is seemingly endless.

The only thing I'd say is they're not going to be the most secure things on your head for any sort of strenuous activity... But Nokia do others more suitable for those sorts of activities.

Neat! - how much are those?

£70.

Pretty good firmware too - they can handle playing music from my macbook and cutting in if the iPhone receives a call...

I was thinking of these for Jan's impending Birthday, but her Blackberry 9700 Bold isn't listed as compatible, although pretty well all the other Blackberries are listed. I wonder if it's just an omission?

Dedicated bluetooth headphone are an idea but I have just bought some new earphones which is why I was thinking about something which transmits to a phono socket.

There is also the car use to consider.

For car - jack to jack lead from headphone socket to ipod in?

Which is what I've currently got, the lead is a bit of a pain but I am probably over complicating things...
