Bluetooth headphones?

I'm looking for a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones so I can listen to my computer's music while not sitting in front of my computer. I'd be interested in knowing the headphones' sound quality, range (is bluetooth only line of sight?), comfort, power source, and battery life.

I know that bluetooth can go through walls, but it certainly depends on what's inside the walls. I have a bluetooth earpiece that I use while driving and around the house and it doesn't really lose clarity between walls. Nevertheless, I'm only listening to a human voice and you'll be listening to actual music. Your mileage may vary.

Yeah, I saw a few reviews of bluetooth headphones on Amazon, and they implied what you say. there's a couple of them that seem pretty decent - but for $75+ I'd like to know more before I get one.

I have a good friend who's an audio nut. I'll ask him if he knows any good bluetooth headphones when I get a chance.

My friend says he doesn't know much about bluetooth headphones, but suggested http://www.head-fi.org as a good place to look. He also said that he knew that Etymotic Research makes a pair, which might be good, but he doesn't actually know.
