Can anyone recommend a decent (if anything with reasonable battery life that isn't brick-sized exists), a bluetooth adaptor for wired headphones?

Laptop's already bluetooth-enabled so I was hoping to keep using my current wired-headphones and avoid buying a new pair.

Seem's to be a number of DIY "clip on" solutions with a short wire that look reasonable possibly Thinking.

Alternatively; any good cheap bluetooth headphones Laughing?

Cheers Thumbs Up.

bought one of these recently, it can be a transmitter or receiver, but not both simultaneously, as in you can’t use an inline mic to feed back whilst listening

You can find them cheaper but this one seemed decent

Thanks Thumbs Up.

Look's similar to some of the "DIY" guides I found after a quick search earlier.

Unless anyone suggest's a brilliant pair of cheap bluetooth headphones; looks like that and cable ties/velcro might be the easiest solution Razz.

Cheers chaps, went for the Anker earphones; not quite as good sound quality as my other headphones but its such a minimal difference I'd still rather use these for simplicity/mobility's sake.

Seem like very good value Thumbs Up.
