Help Please : Bluetooth & Headphones

Is there such a thing as a bluetooth dongle that will allow you to use your own Headphones with an MP3 player or phone?

I have had look around and cant seem to see anything.

Not quite what I was after, looking to see if there is a bluetooth adaptor that you can use any headphones with. Not headphones with bluetooth.

1012007 has yet to enjoy the pleasure of bluetooth transmitters and receivers sold as separates so yes you can.

Have a look at msi's offerings cant think of the name but the old ones were ok but nice new models are out now.

Plug any 3.5mm headphones into it, and listen to your bluetooth audio stream.

Or the jabra BT3030

Edit - Found some links...

The Msi stuff, the fs110 (older 1st version) http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.p...maincat_no=131
msi fs310 (new version) http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?f...maincat_no=131
Jaba http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jabra-BT3030.../dp/B000XSXZVU

Of course all these things do is accept a bluetooth connection and pass the audio to any existing set of headphones / earbuds. Lots of people make transmitters as well, check out the msi version (note the new msi transmitter wont work with the new receiver for some reason!!, but the old one works with old ect ect), also to note is sonys version which is also rechargeable.
