But, what do people here recommend. I'd like to use some Stereo Bluetooth headphones with my Cingular Audiovox SMT 5600.
My preference would be an in-ear soltion that could also supress outside sound.

I'm not even certain if Bluetooth headphone will work with Smartphones. Anyone tried yet? I thought it didn't have the required profile for doing so, as stated in this thread. I could be wrong as I have never actually tried it. You may be able to pair and use Bluetunes to listen to everything over the headphones just like a BT headset, I don't know.
I'm not sure what is possible. I did a little searching on-line and found this entry (here: http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/1877.aspx), about Bluetooth music on an Audiovox SMT 5600 -- reproduced below:
Did a little searching and I found what we've been looking for. Apparently, there is a program that starts when you press the Call button on your Bluetooth headset called CDial.exe.
Someone programmed a way to disable CDial so the 2 seconds of music you get when pressing the call button on the headset can be extended indefinitely. You have to register on the site to download the file and the sound quality isn't great but it's your best option:

I'm not sure that answers the whole question, but it's a start...

Yeah, that program is Bluetunes. It works when using a Bluetooth headset. But I think Bluetooth headPHONES work differently than a bluetooth headSET. As I said, I'm not real certain as I haven't ever tried. Anyone know for certain?
OK - this may be a little weird. I've come across these stereo bluetooth headphones that can offer a stereo headphone experience to SMT5600 and other suct devices.
This solution, does not use the built-in bluetooth capabilities in the SMT phone, which I understand do not support stereo headphones (not to be confused with plugged in stereo headsets, as provided out of the box with the phone).
This set-up has stereo bluetooth headphoens AND a bluetooth transmitter you plug into the mobile device, in my case a phone.
Anyway, read the review, and you'll get the idea. I'm sure there's a better solution, but I've not come across it (yet!).

REVIEW: New Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

SAN FRANCISCO - For my money, Bluetooth technology has long been little more than a spotty solution in search of problem. Getting rid of wires around the house is an admirable goal, but Bluetooth-enabled devices invariably cost a bit more, have limited range and require extra connectivity doodads that I've been unwilling pay for.
Until now.
In October, Plantronics Inc. will start selling the Pulsar 590, a pair of rechargeable Bluetooth-enabled headphones. The company sent me a pair to try and suddenly I can't live without them.
They offer nice styling and killer sound quality extended over a range of about 50 feet from a small transmitter that can be connected to the miniplug audio output jack of any device.
The headphones cost $150 alone, $200 with the transmitter. Devices already compatible with new technology called Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, or A2DP, don't require the transmitter, but few such devices are on the market right now. More on that later.
After charging the headphones and the transmitter on a sleek silver base, I synchronized them by simultaneously holding down two buttons on the headphones. Blinking red and blue lights appear once the headphones were successfully paired with the transmitter.
I then plugged the transmitter into several devices for testing, starting with my DVD player. I cranked up one of my favorite monster flicks, "Deep Rising," and nestled onto the couch with the headphones on. The explosions, growls and gunshots sounded crystal clear, and I could crank up the volume without disturbing anyone.
Even better was my ability to do some loud Xbox gaming without worrying about my dog stepping on the cord and yanking it out of my ears.
The other day, I connected the transmitter to a small digital music player, pressed "play" and threw both into a backpack. I put on the headphones and went for a nice long walk, listening to tunes without worrying that my swinging arm or elbows would jerk some earbuds out of my ear.
And in an odd use of this device, I attached a small stereo signal splitter to my wife's music player and sent the sounds to both her headphones and my transmitter. As she sat in a park and listened to music on her earbuds, I played fetch with the dog nearby and listened to the same tunes via the Bluetooth headphones.
Geeky, sure, but it worked like a charm.
The battery life of the unit was outstanding, as was the sound quality. I fully charged the unit and started playing music at 9:45 a.m. one morning. I kept replaying and changing playlists, tweaking the volume up and down, and the headphones and transmitter were still going strong at 5:30 p.m.
The headphones have "track forward" and "track back" buttons that serve little purpose for now. But they will, Plantronics says, once more device manufacturers begin to incorporate the aforementioned A2DP technology.
When that happens, users should have better control over headphones like these because they won't have to fiddle with the player to switch songs. Some industry analysts expect widespread adoption of this technology over the next few years, but right now the pickings are slim to none, and none of my devices supports it.
Nonetheless, Plantronics has done an outstanding job with these headphones, effectively streamlining the experience of sound — sans wires.

hi there! that sounds great huh!
I was in a Cingular store the other day, and they are stocking Stereo Bluetooth headphones. I didn't try them, but I was told they sound great, and have volume, call answer and all the buttons you need... Nice.

And here's a link to them: http://direct.motorola.com/ens/BTStereoHS_...mp;language=ENS
They seem a little bulky for me.
I have those, and they are bulky. They do sound very good though. It's nice to not have any wires connected, but I've been a little disappointed with A2DP. It's great when it works, but seems kind of patchy sometimes.
I am still satisfied with the product described here: http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/index.php?showtopic=12499
They are light weight and work well with my i730.

Just placed an order for a set that abatis posted above, looks nice and clean and you really can't beat that price.
I'd like to know how long the little set Abatis has and Gryphon just bought lasts between charges? I am concerned about the bud type not staying in my ears and the comfort level if it does manage to not fall out. I've had problems with this type in the past and have since stuck to the canal type which work good for me. But, this little set does interest me.
I just noticed they are from TigerDirect. I have a TigerDirect store here in Miami. I'm going to have to go to the store and see if they have any of these in stock. I'd love to get a set for my wife's new LG Fusic.
