I bought the Cardo Scala and was disappointed with it both because it hurt my ear and because it never was loud enough to me.
In fact, I tried out 2 of the clip on-type and have routinely come back to this one http://www.mtwo-group.com/productspec.asp?Product=BTH-S6A1 It used to be at Tiger Direct, but I couldn't find it there. The battery life is about 5 hours and the range was about 12-15 feet. It supports A2DP and worked well with skype, iTunes and Quicktime on my laptop. I like it because the in-ear style of headphones are the loudest for me and the most comfortable, rather than those that pinch the ear that I can't wear for too long. basically the receiver it a clip that you clip on your shirt or put in your shirt pocket.
