More research...

Hmmm - maybe I don't want bluetooth, maybe I want Wireless USB. Of course, it's more pie-in-the-sky than existing technology at this stage, but the bandwidth (480Mbit/sec unwired!) is easily enough to just send a 48kHz 16-bit stereo pair unencoded across the wire. Hell, the microphone and the palm player could both be talking to the WUSB base station simultaneously and it wouldn't sweat at all. (I could send multiple HDTV streams across it and it would be only marginally irritated).

Of course, the distributor here in Australia doesn't have the headphone kit that I want for kate in stock, they only have the more irritating 'clip onto the ears and attach with a loose cord' style. And they want $200 for them. I wonder what their return policy is...
