I thinking of the following:
Adaptor
Heaphones
It seems I would also be able to use the headphones with both the smartphone and tablet as well.
Are there any better/cheaper solutions out there?

Try to make sure that your laptop is running the Broadcom Bluetooth Stack instead of the Windows Bluetooth Stack, the Broadcom stack in known as BTW, go to the Control Panel and find which drivers you have for your Bluetooth device to find out if it is the Microsoft or Broadcom stack.

Can I assume that if it works with one pair of headphones it's liable to work with any? I have also seen these which one reviewer said works well with the above adapter.

I will have another browse before making a final choice, though.
Thanks for all the input.
Having giving some serious thought and the fact that I may wear them at other times perhaps a quality make and a bit more expense may make sense so I am now considering these pair of Philips SHB7000 headphones. Good battery life, helps cancel outside noise and good reviews.

Bluetooth adaptor arrived this morning. Plugged it into the laptop and installed the software but it wasn't particularly intuitive. Anyway, digging around, I found how to connect the headphones and they work well with the laptop, too.
Thanks for all the help in getting the right adaptor
