Motorola S805 Bluetooth D.J. Style Stereo Headset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are now my 5th pair of bluetooth wireless headphones and I think I've finally found one that does just what I want: great sounding streaming music from my iPod and simultaneously make or take calls from my Blackberry.
In my typical fashion, let's begin with the good, move on to the bad and then finish with those things that need improvement.
GOOD
Excellent sound quality - Clear, clean and LOUD. What more can I say about it. This may seem obvious but apparently some people don't understand the many different profiles available with Bluetooth devices and which ones are necessary to get good sound quality from these headphones. In order to hear quality audio, your Bluetooth source must support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). Many of the USB dongle devices and quite a few built-in Bluetooth laptops (including MacBooks) and phones DON'T support this profile. How will know? First check the documentation to see if A2DP is listed as a supported profile. If not, try pairing with the headphones. If you hear tinny sounding music in mono, your device probably only supports the Headset and Handsfree (HPF) profiles. You'll need to find some other hardware or maybe a software upgrade.
Convenient - My S805s are paired with my iPod equipped with Wi-Gear's iMuffs MA110 Dock Adapter. This adapter is powered by the iPod and supports both the A2DP and Audio Video Remote Control (AVRCP) profiles allowing the headphone to control the volume, play/pause and next/prev track of the iPod while getting the great sound you expect. With no wires to get tangled or swing around when you move, these are great for workouts on the treadmill or elliptical.
Battery Life - Motorola claims that these fully charged headphones will operate in standby mode for up 30 days! I haven't had an opportunity to test this out and I not quite sure exactly what is "standby" mode, but I do know that the music play time is good for about a week of bus rides and occasional office use--about 15 hours. Not bad for the volume and quality.
Nice carrying case - the S805 comes with a durable semi-rigid zippered ballistic nylon case that holds the headphones with the earpieces folded flat at 2 inches thick. There's even a strap inside to conveniently hold the charger and the wired adapter cable.
Elegant Design - The headphones are very nice to look at once you get past the bulk (more on that next). They are symmetrically designed with a single button on each earpiece. One side controls the phone the other the music. The volume and track skip controls are ingeniously integrated into the rubber trim rings of each earpiece. Twist the left one forward or backward to change the volume or the right one to skip or repeat tracks.
BAD
Bulky - While the over-the-ear design is really effective at blocking outside noise, they are also very large and rather obvious. Especially with the blinking blue lights on the side. This attracts a lot of strange looks since you resemble a Borg. BTW, the blue lights can be turn off but I often forget since they default to "ON" after your recharge.
Cheap plastic parts - These definitely aren't your Bose QuietComforts. Most of the plastic pieces feel very cheap and appear as if they would easily break if dropped. The little rubber flap covering the charging and wired adapter ports is very flimsy and I don't expect it to last very long. The volume adjustment control dial and the track control dial have a lot of slop and wiggle room. I'd have to say that the case is better made than the headphones.
Short Wired Adapter - The wired adapter cord is very short. Less than a meter long so you need to be very close to your wired device.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
Scratchy Fabric on Headband - The fabric inside of the headband is same acoustic fabric as the inside of the earpieces. I often take these off and dangle them around my neck but the fabric is kind of irritating. A smooth fabric would be much more comfortable.
Earpiece Cushions - The soft vinyl earpieces aren't too uncomfortable, but the do make the area around my ears all sweaty, especially during a workout. They're also kind of tight so they don't slip off your head but the pressure begin to get uncomfortable after a while. But if don't like the headphones with eartips that go into your ears, these are minor issues.
Complicated Controls - Although two buttons make for elegant design, it also makes for a confusing array of functions that you must remember to control them. Press and hold for 6 seconds for pairing mode. Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn them off. Press, hold and wait for three blinks to turn off. Short press to answer a call, long press to reject a call or answer a call waiting or redial the last call (all depending on the current state). Yikes! That's a lot to remember.
Minimal Instructions - The instruction booklet is a double-sided sheet of paper with a minimal amount of information to get you started. There are two paragraphs of troubleshooting along with a support number and web URL. If you can't get these to work as expected, don't expect to get much help.

Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PROS:
1. Works in a nearby room or directly above/below the room with the transmitter.
2. Able to hear outside sounds, if you don't want to be completely isolated from your surroundings.
3. Nice to be able to adjust the volume by touching the shell of the right earpad, which acts as a toggle switch.
4. Comes with a short cord in case the dongle won't fit in your unit's audio jack.
CONS:
1. Sound quality is muddy. If you like rock music, you will not hear much of the cymbals or other high notes. It is fine if you listen to spoken voice. The stock earbuds with the Nano 2G are a little better than the Logitech, but with less bass. My Sony MDR-V6 closed-ear cans sound *exceptionally* good with my 2nd Gen Nano. I'll give the Logitech headphones many additional hours to break in, but I had hoped they would sound much better out of the box.
2. Headband is not adjustable and sits close to your neck. Tilting your head back, even slightly, bumps the headband. Wearing a collared shirt also causes your shirt to contact the headband. The around-the-ear part of the headband takes most of the impact. The earpads will move a little. Some collar brushing comes through to the earpads. I think exercising would not go well.
3. Comfortable on the ears for less than an hour.
4. Little if any difference in bass boost and normal.
5. Comes with 6 iPod interfaces, but the Nano interface does not work with the 2nd Gen Nano. You can still plug the dongle into the headphone jack, but without the end cap for the dongle, there is a 2mm gap.
6. It's just more than twice the width of the Nano 2G. It is also slightly offset, left-to-right when looking at the Nano + dongle from the front.
7. I generally had to try to set the connection twice before it sync'd up. Then I needed to start the player right away, because if I waited 30 seconds, it shut itself off.
I posted a couple of pictures if you click on the link at the top of the page.

Philips Bluetooth Stereo Headset Combo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The vox340 is a Bluetooth stereo headset with mic that also includes a separate blue tooth transmitter adapter with a 3.5mm plug that plugs into any headphone jack.
It works great as Bluetooth stereo headphones and beats all the FM and 900MHz headphones I have tried over the years. The range is about 25ft when going through the walls where I live. Since stereo operation only requires pairing with the included adapter, makes it possible to listen wirelessly to anything with a stereo jack. I have it plugged into my laptop.
When paired with a cellphone, the vox340 solves the problem of being able to listen to stereo without wires and still be able to switch to talking on the phone without changing to another headset (or removing the stereo headphones/ear buds to put a phone to your ear).
The device has a loop that is worn around the neck and the 2 inch pendant has volume control, on/off, and 2 other buttons that have tape deck like forward/rewind markings. Each ear bud branches off the loop a short distance to reach the ears. It comes with a charger; the batteries are not removeable.
I have only been able to get it to work with the adapter as Bluetooth stereo headphones since pairing is tricky with my cellphone and laptop, but I have not given up making it work with a MacBook Pro.
The manuals included were minimal and only in French and Spanish, no English. I had to get translation help to know what the various blinking LED modes mean and how to do Bluetooth pairing.
After searching and translation help, I found out:
* Bluetooth 1.2 device.
* Alternating red-green LED in the adapter means it is in pairing mode.
* Pairing mode is triggered by pressing On and Off buttons simultaneously and holding until it starts to blink.
* When the battery is totally drained, it needs to be paired again.
* Device can act either like stereo headphones or a hands free headset.
An insert into the package lists many cell phones that are compatible. To keep this review succinct, I will try to post more "missing vox340 manual" details elsewhere so others can benefit.

BlueAnt X5 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bottom line: meet my expectations for a wireless set of headphones. I would buy again. I did several hours of research before purchasing these.
My applications: listening to mp3s while working out using my Palm Tx (direct connection, i.e. without streaming device) and watching TV on my computer using BeyondTV (using streaming device which plugs into the audio-out mini jack to mediate the Bluetooth connection)
Pros:
- compact, light, stylish/sleek
- impressive audio quality for wireless device; probably as good as iPod ear buds, but by no means competition for high fidelity headphones
- once audio begins streaming, no flashing lights (like Motorola bluetooth headphones)
- no noticable audio lag (due to on the fly compression) when watching video. Yes it does exist, but you have to be trying to detect it. Only purists would probably take issue.
Cons:
- more of the Bluetooth technology then this product, but headset seems susceptible to obstructions (walls, thick clothes even)
- easy to use, but again, more of the technology of Blutooth then product, depending on what you are connecting headset to (streamer vs phone or Palm) can be a bit of a pain pairing when first learning to use. However learning curve is extremely short

Sony DRBT101/BLK Over-the-Head Style Stereo Bluetooth Headset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am by no means an audiophile, but I was very impressed with these headphone from Sony. As others have said the Bass is by no means deep, but it is acceptable for headphones. Music listening was a joy with these as I was able to move around my house and still be connected (Isn't Bluetooth great). My main reason for getting them was to listen to movies and TV on my desktop and laptop, the pairing was a cinch with both of my computers. The sound quality was very good for both movies and TV, there was also no lag that I noticed between the headphone sound and the actors lips (sometimes happens with wireless things). The fit of these headphones was perfect for my head, they fit snugly but not too tight, they stayed put with movement (Standing, walking, head bobbing to music). Overall I am very happy with these Sony Bluetooth Headphones, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a nice low cost wireless alternative for use with a PC.

iPod Nano Headset Music Player Review

(More customer reviews)I ordered this for my husband last month...it is really great, he wears it every day while doing yard work, and loves it! Don't get confused like I did...this holds two different size Ipods, one on either side, if your Ipod doesn't fit in one side, try the other. One drawback, not much bass tone, so not for real quality listening, however, still well worth the convenience of going wireless! We would definately buy this again.

Frisby 2gb Wireless Sport Mp3 Player Headset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(Updated February 21, 2010).
First, a word about built-in Lithium Ion batteries versus removeable AAA batteries.
This Hisonic model (despite what may be said in Amazon's product description) runs on a single, replaceable AAA battery.
I have tried other models which have built-in Lithium Ion batteries. It would appear that the Lithium-Ion batteries last, at best, about 4 or 5 months until they are unable to hold a charge any longer. In addition, rechargeing it beyond 4 hours at a time can fry the battery and render it useless. It does not cut off power when the battery is fully charged. You have to watch the clock like a hawk! This has happened at least four times to me with less expensive brands which I have gotten from other merchant websites. It is not that the phones are defective. It is simply that Lithium-Ion batteries of the kind used in some headphones are not capable of lasting any longer. And after the battery is dead, you have to throw away the headphones because the shell must be broken in order to replace the battery. In addition, such an operation is more expensive than the headphones cost to begin with. In summary, MP3 PLAYERS WITH BUILT-IN LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES SHOULD BE AVOIDED! They don't last nearly as long. Removeable AAA batteries are the way to go!
Now that I have that concern out of the way, let us focus on the Hisonic model.
I now own no less than 3 of these phones. It takes about 20 to 25 minutes to load 2 Gigabytes of music (about 16 to 24 hours'-worth depending on what bit rate you use) from my computer to the phones. Consequently, I like to load them and keep them loaded with different styles of music. I just grab whichever phones hold the type of music I am in the mood for and go about my business (I like LOTS of variety). Sometimes I bring all three players with me.
Some comments have been made by other reviewers who use these phones for vigorous, sweaty exercise that the sweat from their heads is shorting out the electrical connections in the player and killing it. This may or may not be true. In any case, I have a simple, easy solution for the problem: Wear a hooded sweatshirt and place the phones on the outside of the hood slightly above your ears. The cloth will wick-away the sweat from the phones in sufficient quantity that there will be no drips on the phones. They will be protected. I can speak from personal experience!
Now, some of you will say that this arrangement will allow the phones to slip off and fall on the ground or you won't be able to hear them clearly. Bullfeathers! These headphones are quite capable of being heard quite brilliantly through cloth - and then some! As for the slippage problem, all you need to do is attach a piece of string or twine to the connecting rods above the earpieces and place it across the top of your head (measure it first, of course). I guarantee the headset will stay securely on your head even if you are running in long, pounding strides or doing jumping jacks. Another alternative is to link some rubber bands together and use the band as a chin-strap (not too tight, however).
Will this player-headset last forever? Of course not. Nothing does. However, I believe you can expect at least one year of reliable service from this player. After that, it will slowly degrade in playing duration until it quits altogether a few months after that.Note: My other two newer Hisonic players still work just fine. They are 16 months and 13 months old, respectively.
Is a year's service worth $49.95? ($44.95 from some merchants listed on Amazon as of February, 2010). You bet it is! Despite the player's few minor shortcomings, I wouldn't be without it. There is nothing better or more reliable out there in Amazonland.....or anywhere else, for that matter.
How does it sound? The overall sound quality of this Hisonic model is, in my estimation, "pretty good but not breath-taking". It depends on the source and recentness of the recording. I often listen to old 78-RPM, monophonic recordings from the 1930's and 1940's. So, take my criticism of the audio quality with a grain of salt. In any case, I doubt if any of the other brands of phones in this style sound any better than this one. Any headphone that sits ON the ear is not going to yield as much bass response as those earpieces that are lodged INSIDE the ear canal. But then, with the IN-THE-EAR plugs, you have to deal with those annoying cords! Who the heck wants that!? Certainly not me!
The Hisonic has 6 equalization (tone) settings. The only one of the settings I found to be satisfactory is the one named "Bass".
To save space on my hard drive, I ripped most of my CD's into WMA files (using Windows Media Player) with a variable bit rate of 85 to 145 kbps (the intermediate setting). The sound quality is adequate for my purposes. You may be able to achieve better sound quality by adopting a higher bit rate during the ripping of your CD's to WMA files (though it will take up more space on your drives). If you insist on using MP3 format, be advised that you will not likely hear any difference between music saved at 320kbps (the maximum) and music saved at 160kbps. Most people cannot hear any difference between 320kbps and 128kbps. So, you might as well save space on your hard (and flash) drives by using a lower rate.
This Hisonic model runs on a single AAA battery. Regardless of what the manufacturer is claiming, I recently placed a fully recharged rechargeable battery in this headphone and listened continuously for 12 hours before the battery finally quit. I think that is pretty darned good. Alkaline batteries may last longer.
Incidentally, if you are going to use rechargeable AAA batteries, don't use Sony brand (they are just a millimeter too long to fit in the battery compartment of this model). Instead, I found that Energizers (also available here on Amazon) will fit just fine in this model. By the way, in response to the gentleman who suggested hitting the battery on the tip with a hammer to make it fit: That is a good way to wind up with third degree burns and schrapnel in your face. Really, now, Sir! What could you have been thinking?
How many hours of music will it hold? I was able to fill up 2 Gigabytes of storage space with 484 Monophonic MP3 files of 3 minutes duration each (taken from CD reissues of old 78 rpm records). That brings the total to a WHOPPING 24 HOURS! (Hisonic also makes a 1GB model for less money but the 2GB model is a much better value for only a few dollars more). If you are using a high bitrate and your tracks are stereo, the player may not store as much music.
AAA batteries are small and easy to find. A spare is easy to carry in one's pocket. So, if you have a spare battery (or two) in your pocket, you can listen practically ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT without having to repeat any music! It is like having a never-ending Juke-Box in your head only much less cumbersome.
At least one other reviewer said he had a problem with the battery being drained somewhat during file transfer from the computer to the headphones. While that is possible, it should not even be an issue as the battery need not be installed at all in order to transfer files. In fact, the instructions recommend removing the battery before transfering files. Whatever power the headphones may need for file transfer (if any) is derived directly from the USB port of your computer.
The Hisonic is VERY programable and you can choose to play the tracks in the order in which they were loaded or in random shuffle order and some variations there-of. It even has folder-partitioning capabilities so you can jump directly to other music genres depending on your mood without having to crawl and wade through many contiguous files to get there. You can also program it to select tracks from only one folder or from multiple folders alternately and randomly. If you choose sequential order, be aware that re-sorting the fields of the metadata sections (in the "Details" view of your computer's filing system) prior to loading the files on the Hisonic's flash drive will NOT have any effect on the playing order. The Hisonic player will play the files in the order in which they were loaded on its internal flash drive. So, take that into account when you are loading the files if programatic order is an issue. Otherwise, choose Random-Shuffle order to really scramble them.
The thin lever on the underside of the right earpiece that is used to enter the display menues and navigate through them is somewhat flimsy and seems as though it might break if handled clumsily or carelessly. However, I have not experienced any malfunctions in 16 months of intermittent use so far. It is somewhat confusing at first to figure out how to manipulate this lever to go where you want to go. Pushing it forward or backward simply moves it to play the next track or the previous track. To enter the menues and sub-folders, you have to gently push the lever straight in upon itself, hold it in, and then move the lever forward or backward to navigate through the menues and functions. Watch the display like a hawk as you are doing this or you may wind up where you don't want to be.
As others have observed, transferring MP3 or WMA files from your computer to this headphone's flash drive is simple and easy but somewhat slow (about 20 to 25 minutes to load 2 GB worth of music). It may take even longer if you are transfering from one external hard drive thru the computer and out again to the MP3 player/phones. The amount of actual storage space is approximately 1.89 Gigabytes. This is common with flash (and hard) drives. The actual storage space is always rounded up to the...Read more›
