I recently purchased a Sony DRBT140Q Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset, $62.90 [Amazon] to use with my iPhone 3GS since Apple has added stereo bluetooth support (A2DP).

I love these headphones and was happy to get rid of the wire when listening to anything on my iPhone 3GS. The only wire is a tiny cord connecting the two clip-ons. They stay firmly on the ear and are pretty comfortable on your ears even after a few hours use. They are pretty light. The built-in microphone also works great for answering phone calls.

Sony includes a AC wall charger that I wish used a mini USB connector, but this is probably my only real complaint about this headset. The sound quality is pretty decent for listening for music or audiobooks with a decent amount of bass.

The Sony DRBT140Q Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset supports AVRCP to allow for controlling your device with the controls on the headset. Unfortunately, Apple has not yet implemented all of this spec into the iPhone as of yet. I did find that the pause/play button did work fine however. When connecting them to my Blackberry Curve the controls worked as expected.

I especially like that the headset does not have a rigid band and uses a flexible cord instead. Other headsets I have owned ended up with a broken plastic band after a while rendering them useless.

Overall I am happy with the Sony DRBT140Q Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset and would recommend them to anyone wanting a wireless solution for their cellphone or media player.
