I've got an iPod Touch (2nd Gen I think), and am looking for a Bluetooth headset for it. I realize the mic isn't going to work, but really want to be able to listen to podcasts while I work around the house or outside, etc.
I listen to many hours of podcasts each week, and my poor earbuds have been ripped off so many times I've lost count. I don't mind if they have a stereo option, but I really only want 1 ear normally.
So, I'm basically looking for the typical, comfortable, Bluetooth headset like a person would typically use for their iPhone... except that I want to use it for listening to audio. I'm wondering what people would recommend. So far, from my research, it looks like I should probably get a BlueAnt Q1 (nice combo of price and performance)... but it would be nice to hear if this community has other recommendations and why. Thanks, -Steve
Also, I'm pretty sure the mic just plain doesn't work to be able to use it for Skype and such, correct? Is this just a software limitation Apple has imposed, or something hardware-wise? (I'm not crazy about the idea of jail-breaking... but might consider it for that... especially after I get my iPad and that becomes my primary iOS device.)
