Bluetooth headphones

My wife wants some Bluetooth headphones for her iPhone 4s and I want to be as cheap about it as possible😛

Any recommendations appreciated, preferably smaller in size, do they make ear bud sized ones?
 
They're not the cheapest things out there, but I really like my pair LG HBS-700. The receiver/transmitter goes around the neck and it has earbud attachments.

The volume and skip buttons work well great for music and the call quality is decent too. I use mine while I'm at the gym or in the yard doing work, and sweat hasn't hurt them yet.
 
I will use the occasion to ask a similar question. I have a Sansa CLip+ player and I'm thinking about buying a set of headphones. I know this player doesn't native support wireless/bluetooth, but is it possible to insert some kind of a mini-usb thingy in my player so it would start supporting wireless/BT headphones?
 
+1 on the LG HBS 700. I use mine when riding my motorcycle. I like them so much, I got a backup set in case something happens to them, but so far they have been tough as nails.

I replaced the rubber part that fits in the ear with the foam molding type I got at Radio Shack and they rock. Literally.
 
I have the Jaybird Freedom JF3s. I like them well enough for exercising. Jaybird just released their successor, which are about 40% smaller, so they'll be a nice size and have less of a tendency to fall out of one's ears. They run about $100.

I picked up one of these and been happy with it by far. Tons of features and decent sound. No blow your head up bass, but its there. It also doubles as bluetooth and comes with a dongle for your pc so you can use it on there for skype or what have you. I use it on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 to listen to music and can go about 50 feet away from it before it starts to drop signal.

Forgot about this thread...if anyone is interested I ended up buying THESE and my wife loves them. They actually do sound pretty darn good and use any headphones you want to plug in to them, the set that comes with them though has a really short cord which is pretty nice, now when they fail I'll have to find another set with a short cord for her...

Really? Whats the point of BT if you still need wires and have it connected to something. Oh well.

It's tiny and clips on her shirt while she works out, much better than plugging into and having a bulky phone on you while you're moving...nothing bigger would work for that like the full size headphones. She was skeptical at first too but after using it for a bit she really liked them, and I can see the benefit of them, maybe one day they will make earbuds that don't need the receiver but for now they work pretty damn well
