Looking to purchase a pair of bluetooth headphones(not earbuds!). Having a wired 3.5mm connection is also optimal but not a deal breaker if not included. While mostly going to be used for music, I will occasionally use them for movies. My concern is lag via bluetooth while watching movies...
Anyone have recommendations for a product or experience?

I am going with a pair of MEE Audio this year. I have their M6 Pro in-ear monitors (earbuds, but the best ones you have ever used IMO!) and I have a lot of faith in the rest of their products too. I use the M6 Pro's for live stage performance (I'm a drummer) and they are just as good as $300 dual-driver Westone's that I have used for years before. Here is the MEE webpage with all their wireless products: www.meelec.com/Wireless_s/430.htmThe "Runaway" line of over-ears is their entry level and what I plan to buy. They are $59.99 direct from MEE, but Amazon sells them for $45-50 and RIGHT NOW (I just checked) they currently priced at $40.49! (most colors) I'm not sure if that is a Black Friday deal or what, but I'm about to go buy my pair. Actually they are for my 11yo son, but I'm sure I'll get some use out of them too.

If you are interested, keep an eye on the MEE website on Cyber Monday. They might post some more deals of their own. They already have/had an earbud "bonus buds" promo on black Friday, during which they sent you a free pair of earbuds (model chosen at random) if you ordered a certain style. You were guaranteed to at least get a $20 set I think, with chances to get an $80 set for free. None of their stuff is bad so that would have been a great deal if I needed any more earbuds from them.

Thanks for the heads up on these headphones, Scotty. They are really nice for an entry level head set!

Glad to hear! I ordered a pair from Amazon but got an e-mail that shipping is delayed by weather. I'm thinking about pickup up a couple pairs of the wired HT-21 headphones for my other two boys. Regular price is $14.99 but I got an e-mail with a "Cyber Week" code price of $11.99 with free shipping. I bought my boys a few pairs of Koss headphones last year (various prices/styles), and they all died within a couple months when the solder joints in the connections broke down for no real reason. Pretty disappointing.
