Can anyone make a recommendation on a model or models of earphones/headset that would be useful for listening to music or movies? I like to set up my Axim while running on the treadmill and would love a wireless solution. I am sorry if I missed a previous post on this topic. I haven't seen any clear favorite for this application yet.

I looked for a set of Bluetooth headphones right after ordering my x50 for exactly the same reason. Currently using a Rio MP3 player with an arm-band.

The only set I found was the i-Phono from Bluetake. The cheapest I found them for was $199.99 at ioCombo.com. A lot more than I wanted to pay.

Will probably continue using the Rio until the cost on Bluetooth headphones goes down. The only reason to use this over the Axim is that the Rio is smaller and also has FM which I can tune in to listen to the TV while on the treadmill at the gym.

Funny enough, I use a Rio as well for MP3 at the moment. I have tried the Axim for watching converted DVD movies and it is fantastic for the treadmill. Unfortunately I sometimes catch the wire of my regular headphones and sent the Axim flying once. I would rather not do that again.
I hope there are some other options for around the $100 range soon. I think there is a growing market for this with the explosion of MP3 players.

I don't know what you use for a headphone, but I don't believe you'll be happy with any of the current bluetooth headsets on a treadmill. They're substantially bulkier (battery size, I suppose) than a fine set of earbuds. (I recommend Koss's "The Bud").
I find the Ax isn't a very useful music player anyway .
It's too delicate to take for a "real run", and looks scary susceptable to sweat. Until someone comes up with a remote, I can't see using either a stylus nor the front buttons while running to change tunes. Forget altering the volume with the current interface; the WMedia Player volume control goes from "4" (off) to "7" (just a bit too loud) with nothing in between.
I'll stick with my Sony NetMD for tuneage
and use the Ax to hack into my desktop!

I like my retractable headphones, which I picked up for $30 Cdn. Because they're retractable, I never need to unplug them from my Axim. Though I wish it had a 3-foot cord instead of a 2-foot. Also they look like bunny ears - kind of funny:
