Wireless/Bluetooth headsets?

Hi folks

Does anyone know of or have any experience with wireless headsets? I quite fancy one for my laptop for use with skype but the only one I can find is the Clearchat Wireless by Logitech.
There are other PS3 specific headsets that are bluetooth, but I'm not sure if they would work with my laptops bluetooth setup. The one in question is the Logitech Cordless Vantage
Anyone have any recommendations? Price range ~ £40

Bit over budget but these HS-1200s are pretty good. Some on here will knock them, but I upgraded from a set of Medusas and I was quite impressed. Sound quality is good, range is very poor. Same room only really, lost/distorted signal in adjacent rooms and my house has only internal plasteboard walls....

Not as impressed as my upgrade to Xonar DX and the Senn HD555s though!

Nice! Creative products have always had great build quality and if they do the job I'm not too fussed about the price.
I assume they just use a USB dongle?

Yes, its dongle syncing device i.e. hold dongle and headphone 'on' button at the same to time to sync. For some reason it won't receive the sound without doing this.

No sound card needed which could be a plus or a minus (cpu cycles needed) depending on your requirements and cpu spec.

Also, it will only charge through USB so the PC must be on in order to charge which I found annoying.
