My goal: a Bluetooth headset that will both allow me to take hands-free calls on my phone, and play music from a BT-enabled music player, preferably without any reconfiguration nonsense. I.e. hitting a button on the headset to switch devices is fine, but plugging it in to a computer to reconfigure which device it's talking to is not. I want to be able to listen to music and take calls on the fly.

The phone and music player are separate devices.

I do not require the headset to provide stereo. A single earpiece providing a mono version of the stereo stream would be fine.

Suggestions?

I stopped in at a RatShack this morning with a surprisingly helpful fellow who looked up the specs on the BT headsets they stocked in the store and confirmed they would not do what I needed. He suggested that what might work would be to have the music player send its music stream to the phone, and then have the headset just talk directly to the phone. A novel approach but it sounds worth investigating.
