RadioShack has these headphones on clearance for $80 and through June 3rd you can take an additional 50% off that, bringing the price down to $40. I bought these a few months ago and love them. They dont have as much control as the Motorola HS820's (only one action buttion instead of a separate music and telephone one), but the range is amazing. I get a full 300ft, not 30, with my 8125. The HS820's are on clearance for $80 too, but you only get to take off an extra 30%. making them about $56.

For those who have ipods, theres also a device called the naviplay that adds A2DP to the ipod for about $25 after discounts. I picked one of those up today. These are brick and mortar deals, not through the website.

Great Find!

Do they suffer from the hiss and pop problem that some other headphones have?

I never noticed any popping. I think they sound pretty damn good. There is also a coupon for $10 off a $30+ purchase. Something they're doing for fathers day. Technically not supposed to be combinable with clearance stuff, but you may be able to do it. They usually keep extras in the store. You could go up to a clerk and say you forgot your coupon at home and ask if they'll give you another one or just ring you up with it. That'd bring the total for the headphones down to $30.

Cheers everyone,

Thanks for the great advice on the Spider headphones for 40 bucks. I went right out and got myself a pair. For that price, how could you go wrong. Plus, it is at radioshack, so no problems with returns.

I have been researching bluetooth headsets for some time and did see that these were smaller than some of the other headsets. I have worn them for hours at a time and find them very light and comfortable for long time listening.

I did see where some people were having battery charging problems right out of the box, so I was ready for that. I returned 2 pair before getting it all right on the 3rd one. It did not take long to figure out that the battery was having problems. The guy at the store just gave me another one without any hassles or questions.

I have been using the stereo headset that came with my cingualr 8125 for about 8 months and was very tired of the wired headest. I was reading about all of you guys partying with your cordless bluetooth stereo headset and was just waiting for the right time to make the move. I was hearing that some people were having all sorts of problems including gaps in the music.

It was the right time for me, as the new Bluetooth stuff all seems to work almost perfectly. By the Way, I do LOVE my 8125!!! I have watched all of the ROM stuff for months, and finally made the change to a Windows Mobile 6 ROM with the help from all of you cool Bitching Dudes (sorry, I am a California Santa Cruz Surfer) That is just my way of saying thanks!!!

All of the controll functions seem to work on the stereo headset. Once again I have a WM6 ROM with all of the fixes to the bluetooth stuff... I can controll music functions, answer the phone and have the music pause, and then resume after the call without problems.

Once again thanks to everyone that makes this internet site possible. These 8125's are so COOL and have so many possibilities! My next adventure with this phone will be with GPS.

Keep on Chill'in and Grill'in
