Over the head wireless headset for music / skype?

Any recommendations? Bluetooth would probably be best.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant over the head. Can't see myself listening to music on an in-ear jobby!

Thanks,

I got a sony ericsson hbh-ds970 last week on ebay.

Don't know if I just got a dodgy one or something but I wouldn't recommend. Battery life of 2-3 hours if listening to music and skips when your walking.
Only paid a tenner for it though so not too bad.

Yes if you have a bluetooth adapter or built in bluetooth and install the widcomm bluetooth drivers(might not be essential, but its what I did). You can listen to your computer on it. But battery life is really bugging me.

I have 3. i have 1 for music/watching tv when the missus is asleep its a set of bluetooth LG headphones they work really well good battery life great sound fairly comfortable they are the ones that wrap around the back of the neck rather than over the head. But they are just head phones so no mic imput.

Then I have a bluetooth earpiece its the Official Sony PS3 one and its the best one ive ever come across really comfortable and sturdy good battery life and can be used for mobiles/skype and online gaming.

The other is a Jabra bluetooth earpiece and its fairly poor but that might be because it fell in the toilet.

Something like the Logitech Clearchat; but preferably Bluetooth so I don't have an ocean of dongle sticking out of my monitor.
