Simon, I used to use the S530, which I purchased off of eBay. It is a very inexpensive earpiece, and typically lasted 6 months. Unfortunately, they updated it and it now has a much more significant delay. The older unit had just a minimal delay such that I could type messages using the onscreen keyboard with it.
A friend acquired the extremely pricy Motorola Verve bluetooth earpieces for his birthday. I tried them and they had quite good musical playback. Unfortunately, they had a bad delay as well. So, I am suspecting something about the new Bluetooth chipset, as both devices claim Bluetooth 4.2. I have gone back to using my wired earpods until the Airpods are released. By the way, we finally learned why the AirPods became delayed. A couple days after Apple's September event, someone asked a question about what happens if one AirPod gets lost, will Apple sell a single replacement? Apple tested the concept and discovered that the current internal configuration would not permit this. So, they stopped the production line whilst solving the problem. Apparently, the problem has now been corrected, and they are starting the production line again. The info about this was printed a couple days ago, but I do not remember which paper broke the story. Personally, I would have preferred it if Apple would have just come clean at the time, but that's Apple's secrecy a bit over-the-top.
