My new LG cell phone/mp3 player (4Gb) has bluetooth technology. I've been ripping my music, but don't have ear buds/headphones yet.

Should I be looking at Bluetooth stereo earbuds, or just regular chorded ear buds?

If you buy corded, take a second glance at the the earphone jack. I'm not familiar with that model but some are micro sized while others need a special jack due to the microphone channel being built in to talk into you hands free set.

Ironically, lower end MP3 phones have the standard jack while high end ones are more likely to trip you up and make you buy something proprietary.

I have found that on my Blackberry, I can use a standard micro to mini headphone jack if I don't push it in all the way. It actually requires one with the mice channel built in but converter works if you position it just right. Would not be good for jogging or even brisk walking in this manner.

I haven't tried bluetooth for anything other than single ear handsfree.

There are the Motorola Stereo BT headset

You may want to check specs on your phone to see if they support BT stereo. They do not work with all phones.

I use V-Moda Duo with my iPhone.

For single ear handsfree, Jawbone is the way to go.
