I have a pair of old-school 900MHz Acoustic Research headphones that I use at home, but they have a lot of noise and clicking from interference. I figure a pair of bluetooth headphones might take care of that, but I don't know any that are affordable. Anyone know of any?

Hi Scott,

I don't know whether you can support bluetooth, but I am using the first
version of these headphones.  They are light, good sounding, relatively
inexpensive, and can switch between high fidelity stereo and low-fi
microphone headset modes.

The one feature that I think needs improvement is that they turn on and
off by folding the headset.  I think that this will eventually wear out
the hinge mechanism, and the product reviewers seem to agree.  But I
have been using them (carefully) for a couple of hears, and they are
holding up so far.
