Bluetooth dongle and headphones?

Hi all

Does anyone know is it possible to get a bluetooth dongle plug it into my pc and play music to a pair of stereo headphones (bluetooth)?

And if so what will i need just a dongle or software as i would like to use media player to play the music how would that work as it would want to come out of the speakers i think?

I'm not sure if the data could be transfered quickly enough by bluetooth. I could be wrong though.

Well, they do sell wireless headphones

Bluetooth is good enough for phone calls, but for high quality audio the bandwidth probably wouldnt be enough.

Got the Jabra BT620 Bluetooth Headphones here. Yes they work flawlessly, very good sound quality IMO and the added benefit of working as a headset as well as headphones for Skype etc. They also have media remote control built in (play, pause, track and volume up/down).
Other good points include the ability to charge from USB port (the battery is built in unlike the Creatives linked to) while continuing to listen on them.
Beware however...not all Bluetooth dongles support headphones yet! As I found out when trying to use it with my dongle for the PC, luckily they work great with the built in bluetooth on my XPS M1210 which is what I bought them for. Same goes for a lot of the mobile phones too, there's few models that support the stereo headset profile.
