The Bluetooth headset has gone from nifty novelty to ubiquitous accessory. They've become better and better with each generation, so now that they've matured, just how good are they? And what use are they for something other than making you look like you're talking to yourself?

"As for your point... Well, I use my A2DP headphones outside, in a noisy environment, so I couldn't care less if they sound a bit worse than wired headphones. I can't tell the difference when I'm outside (who could, it's just MP3s I'm playing, not FLAC, I'm not an audiophile)."
As I said, that's how I tested them. The quality issues are bad enough to stop me enjoying the music even when I'm listening to a Foo Fighters album (hardly the last word in recording quality) on a moving bus. That's how bad it is. I'm really not sure how you don't notice it. A2DP sounds like a 64Kb/s MP3. Heck, it probably *is*.
