Read through some of these threads (http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=14977109), found by searching for "Bluetooth Stereo Headset" (surprise!) in this very forum.

I'm using the Plantronics Pulsar 590A with my Kaiser, Laptop and Desktop.
It's the best BT Headset i've used by now... you can listen to stereo music in real good quality and if there's an incomming call, it switches to phone mode, stops the music and you can use the internal mic... It comes with a BT module for MP3 players or anything with a 3,5mm audio port, USB charger, normal power plug and a relly nice "docking station".

I feel there are two ways to go about this in general:
1. Get a good set of in-ear headphones if you are comfortable with them, and a bluetooth adapter with a standard 3.5mm jack. This way, you can use any headphones you want with whatever bluetooth devices you have, and you can replace the headset if something goes wrong with them. The downside to this is that I haven't really found a completely satisfactory bluetooth adapter for this purpose yet. They all have some miniscule (or not so miniscule) flaw that hinders performance. That being said, paired with a good set of headphones they do give satisfactory results with music most of the time, and the other features are just up to the adapter. While top end headphones like those from Shure, Ultimate Ears, Etymotic and such will have stellar audio performance, the adapter is usually the limiting factor as well as bluetooth itself. It is nice that you have a pair of great headphones for other devices, but I suppose the whole point of having BT headphones is to avoid carrying and using other devices...
2. Invest in a good set of BT headphones. Some older models like the Motorola S9s have fallen to very affordable prices and have reached a great price/performance ratio. Look into other offerings from Jabra and Plantronics as well, making note of which features are most useful to you as I would say the audio quality is generally acceptable. Some Sony models allow multiple pairing if that's something you're after, while other models from Jabra and Plantronics have small screens for caller ID and other information. Unfortunately, these options rarely come with different sizing options so achieving a good 'fit' becomes a matter of trial, error and money. While none of the models I have tried are directly 'uncomfortable', I can't see myself wearing any of them on a long train or bus trip to be honest, which is why I stick to my solution above.
Hope I could help, and use the search feature on the forums for opinions on more specific models.
