I'm about to try the LG tone stereo bluetooth headset with my ICS Bionic in the next day or two. Really cool design, around back of neck/ear canal plugs hybrid. About $70 at verizon corporate stores or at vzw.com. I wear plugs/phones about 35 hrs a week or more and I've always preferred wired, but these appeal to me because of the cool design, they don't mess with your glasses, etc so we'll see in pretty short order if they are a good product for a heavy user, in the reviews I've seen the battery life is phenomenal which, other than being mono, was the huge issue with the Plantronics Voyager Pro+, performs well and you can listen to media over it, but the battery barely lasts 5 hrs before needing a long low rate charge.
Good, they charge at a high rate for a tiny battery it looks like too, the supplied charger (microUSB, also a +) is rated at 800mAH
I'll edit this post after I take pics of them and every couple of days until I have an opinion about them.

So far so good. Wore them about 2 hours today and didn't even make a dent in the battery. Controls are more intuitive than they look, once you have them on and have touched every control once it just feels natural. So far I would rate volume 5/5, comfort 5/5, controls 5/5, battery 5/5, and now price, looking at how good it seems so far 5/5. Monday we'll see if it leasts a whole day (about 4.5 hrs of streaming music/comedy/sports radio) on a charge.
