With this new firmware they would unleash a2dp upon the earth; they will finally allow us iPhone users to enjoy wireless music bliss. So I didn’t hesitate to purchase new wireless bluetooth stereo phones. So I ordered a pair on eBay. I ordered a pair of Motorola S9 headphones. I did some research and read good reviews about these as they didn’t look to geeky plus they are stylish and very popular. To my dismay after I paired it up with the iPhone 3G I noticed I could not change tracks backwards or forward. I could only pause and change the volume but that’s it. Why is this? Apparently not all a2dp headphones are 100% compatible with the iPhone 3G. I am hearing from others having this exact same issue with their headphones. This is from apple’s own discussion board. How on earth are cheaper cell phones on the market capable of handling a2dp with no issues but when apple allows it they do not work completely. If anyone would be able to get this perfect it would be apple. Unless they did a rush job and did not test bluetooth headphones. If by any chance apple somehow comes out with special Apple iPhone bluetooth headphones I will be very upset. If somehow their headphones work perfect but others do not will be strange and suspect. Is anyone else having these issues with other types of stereo bluetooth headphones if so please speak out. At least there can be some type of compatibility list so people can know what to buy and what not to buy, seeing as how these things are expensive and apple didn’t specify not all headphones would work.

Update:
As stated in the comments it’s not a2dp to be blamed because it does indeed stream music but it’s the avrcp profile that is not fully implemented. However it is foolish for apple to release this knowing that these two profiles go hand and hand. We all known how long it takes apple to release new firmware updates. Should we keep waiting and for how long?
