Bluetooth Headphones to listen to Sirius Radio through MacBook Pro

I want to buy headphones so I can listen to Sirius through Safari wirelessly. Too much to ask?
Please let me know if there are headphones out there that will allow this.
I called Apple about 6 mos ago and they didn't help me much.
I REALLY WANT TO BUY A PAIR IF I ONLY KNEW WHICH ONES WOULD WORK!
I have the newest MacBook Pro with Leopard... Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

I don't know. I returned the headset and got the same one again (the 980)... It is paired but won't work. I choose it from the Bluetooth dropdown on my MacBook but I never get audio through the headset... Here's what the info on the device says:
Type: Headset HBH-DS980
Address: some numbers/letters
Services: None (this might be the problem???)
Paired: YES
Configured: YES
FAvorite: YES
Connected: YES

I play the music (have tried with iTunes and with Safari listening to Sirius online Radio) and click the HBS-DS980 but nothing happens. The headset screen comes on as if it's "looking" for something but nothing else... Any ideas? Thanks so much.

i have a pair of HSH-DS980 headphones, but am unable to get them to pair successfully on my macbook pro running leopard 10.5.5. What is the secret. When I try it says that it is collecting information (and should only take a few seconds) but it takes a looooong time usually the DS980 headset timesout. I have never been able to get it to the point of being able to hear any sounds over the headset from my macbook pro........

I was having more or less the same problem. A few times I could hear the music from the computer, but every time I paused the music it was hard to get it working again.

This is what I did, and it seems to be working:

1) Delete the DS980 headset as bluetooth device.

2) Reset the headset following the instructions on the manual (1. On/Off key for 5 seconds and then 2. Press and hold the On/Off key and the call handling key simultaneously for 5 seconds.)

3) Pair the headset again with the computer, but this time I only selected the headphones service (and uncheck the headset service).

4) After that I click on the Bluetooth Status on the Menu Bar, and then go to HBH-DS980, and select "use headphones". (I think this is the important part, but before resetting the headset this didn't work all the times)

And now I can hear the music and other sounds from the computer. I hope this helps.

I think next time I may get the iSkin Cerulean F1 + TX.

I just paired my cell phone and the DS980 stop working with the computer again; iTunes freeze and after a while my computer crashed and I had to restart it.

I reset the DS980 and paired it to my computer again (following the steps I posted before), and it seems to be working fine. I won't pair it with my cell phone anymore.
