Jabra BT3030, and at least one Motorola model. Both are small units with built 
in mic and 3.5mm headphone socket, and have buttons to control media playback 
via AVRCP. I think the Motorola has an LCD too, for display of track info and 
caller id.

amazon recently lists a surprising number of them.
when i tried to buy such a thing a few months ago, it was hard work, to  
find one -- finally i got the sonyericson hbh-ds 220.
so far nice, but has a very small mind -- it can't remeber more than one  
device it was paired to, which is considered the comparativley high price  
then, ridiculous.

finally tired of that linitation i recently got the "suvil clipfree mobile  
bt", much cheaper, remembers at least three devices, though with issues --  
with my netbook (eeepc) with pulseaudio music is choppy and needs
hciconfig hci0 lm master; hciconfig hci0 lp hold,sniff,park
to be ... uhm ... less choppy. with my thinkpad and that command it's  
rather ok, but far below the claimed range of 10m.

due to the hassle to use a bt headset with the freerunner so far (with  
fso, i tested a cheap jawbone -- but fso did not switch back to  
gsmhandset.state when no headset was available, bt still does not survive  
suspend/resume, all in all, bt is not suitable for daily use) i did  
refrain from testing both of these headset, but i'd expect at least the  
sonyericsson to work.

for plain alsa, ie audio output, i don't really expect difficulties.
i created the .asoundrc with

pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device XX:XX:... #headset's mac here
profile "auto"
}

ctl.bluetoothsu {
 type bluetooth
 device XX:XX:... #headset's mac here
 profile "auto"
}

following those arcane ritual texts of the bluez worshippers and tried the  
prayer

arecord -D bluetooth -f S16_LE | aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE

which surely was not answered (did not hear myself like i did on my  
thinkpad), but no error appeared neither.
thus, probably only a correct state file is necessary.

since i am still don't understand the state file lingo (and still am  
surprised to see, that the names of the controls in alsamixer do not match  
the names listed in the state file), i am incapable to write such a sacred  
text myself and humbly hope one of the priests of the bluez and alsa  
church will do that ...

ps: for those with write access to the wiki:
i got a very cheap (got it as a gift from some shop) jawbone called PBH-8W  
working once. due to the problems mentioned above i did not really try  
again.

Well, mine has a micro-USB port, but I can't figure out any way to use it
other than for charging. I can charge it via USB from a computer, but the
computer doesn't even seem aware that it's connected. Nothing interesting in
dmesg or lsusb. Maybe it can be used for audio input, but if so, I think
you'd have to pull it out of stealth mode. Hahahah

Yes, definitely a good idea.  With all the recent interest in bluetooth
headsets, I think keeping the list of headsets in one place is a good step.
I updated the entry on my lubix NC1 on your new page.  I no longer have to
stop and start a song via intonenot sure what fixed it.  Works great
now, and looks cool.  I'll test out GSM sometime this weekend.
