Can someone recommend some good wireless headphones with a dongle transmitter for the gym?
I'm soooooo uninto the whole bluetooth thing, but I guess many iPodish devices will transmit bluetooth signals directly to the headphones.

That's *not* what I need. I need headphones that have a normal mic connector that I can plug into an mp3 player, etc., that then transmit to the wireless headphones.

I bought these Logitech deals


http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-FreePulse-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B000J3G2CS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1227115101&sr=8-8

Which worked pretty well for a few months, but a couple drops on the floor, and they're done.

Essentially, I want to plug into the TV out at the gym with them, and then be able to jog on the treadmill. I can do this easily enough with wired headphones, but then I keep popping out the cord as my arms flail about wildly, and my shoes pick up static electricity from the belt and zap my ears through the cable, which kinda hurts on dry days.

Anyway, something good for the gym, comerfortable that'll stay on when running, wireless, with a transmitter. Preferably not too expensive, but if they're gonna cost more than a little, something robust and tough that if I drop from 6 feet a few dozen times won't die an untimely death.

Any tips would be much appreciated
