Wireless headphone recommendations for an iPod, please!

Recommendations needed on wireless headphones for use with an iPod.

My dad has had it with constantly having his headphones tugged out of place when working in the yard/workshop. I'd like to surprise him with a set of nice (but not too expensive) wireless headphones he can use with his iPod. A search here yielded results from 2004, so I'm hoping that someone(s) here have more recent experience/success with particular models/brands. Thanks in advance!

You would need a dongle attachment for the ipod. An easier solution might be just to run the headphone wires inside his shirt.

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but I hope you find it helpful.

I use wired earbud headphones that have a very short cable. I plug them into a Bluetooth adapter, and have a Bluetooth transmitter plugged into the iPod. The nice thing about this (for me) is that this also functions simultaneously as a cell phone headset, automatically switching from the iPod to the cellphone for an incoming call.

Motorla S9 stereo Bluetooth headset, in bulk packaging, $49.98

Sony Bluetooth iPod transmitter/dongle, $49.20

I own both and it's a great combination: the transmitter gives me wireless stereo from my iPhone 3G and the headphones double as a headset for calls. The headset can also be used with the MacBook Pro, MacPro, and any other device that supports the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and/or Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) protocols. For $100, it's a great setup.
