How much point is there to /good/ quality stereo BT headsets using the A2DP
profile? The battery drain is going to be at least twice - probably a lot
more for decent volume levels. Battery technology has got better but still
lags well behind the technology that uses it. A wire to power the headset
externally surely partly defeats BT as "wireless technology".

gives some feedback!

How do you like the BT420EX? I have been thinking about getting them
for a while now, but never quite pulled the trigger. Saw a couple of
reviews commenting on the lack of sound insulation. That isn't a big
negative to me, so long as the audio quality is good, and reception is
strong.
