"It's one of it's kind" on by teslawhite
Pros: Great potential, Great style and beautiful crisp sound
Cons: doesn't go 'loud' enough, only for ipod, pretty expensive
Summary: i thought when the world made wireless headphones for retail purchase any mp3 and/or cd player would work. apparently only ipods are lucky. so i stashed my zen micro (way better) and bought logitech wireless headphones for my ipod. i have to say i was pretty impressed. really great sound quality and the laughter of hearing others around you ask what your listening to. i can basically listening to my ipod while playing basketball while my ipod is sitting in the lawn, very cool. also the fac that these headphones have controls is awesome, you can even tell the skip button from the play button.

"Wonderfully wireless, however not painless..." on by cwhiton
Pros: Gone the wire, intuitive and easy 'Braile' controls
Cons: Heavy and uncomfortable on ears, a bit 'dorky' looking
Summary: Thrilled to have the wires gone, shoulder-strap bags on and off easily, airplane use wonderful. Controls instantly understandable. Only one cut-out situation where ipod in backpocket - but just barely.
A bit heavy on the ears, and only comfortable for an hour or so at a time. Something about the look - perhaps most won't care - but they have a bit of a droopy-eared geek appearance. -
"AUGUST SPECIAL: Logi Headphones overstock clearance!!!" on by gubbas
Pros: No wires is pretty neat
Cons: Price is way too much for audio performance
Summary: Come on. I understand the basic interest here, but adding an extra box to my iPod to transmit to the headphones is silly. Logitech has offered a similar upgrade to cell phones, but so far no one is really buying them. The reality of now recharging 3 devices every day (iPod, transmitter, headphones) will wear thin quickly. I also dont see how the performance is anything to brag about...20Hz for the bass is a joke. Most $30-$50 plugs will dip down to 6Hz and run up to 23KHz. When the reviewer stated that he could leave his $450 iPod on the tredmill or in a bag on the floor, I laughed. Maybe in your own home you could get away with that, but here in the real world where we real people pay real money for our devices (not get them free for review) I wouldn't let my iPod leave my person.

"Best Thing To Happen To The iPod" on by MTCC
Pros: It's Wireless, Nothing Else To Say
Cons: No Battery Meter
Summary: I was very skeptical about Bluetooth items, since my horrible experience with Bluetooth cell phone headsets. Ths headset proved me wrong. It works great. They work great outdoors and in. It charges off a dual connector adapter, which is awesome because I have too many adaptors as is. The controls work nicely on the earpiece. The sound quality is good. I turn up my iPod and then adjust the volume using the headset's wireless controls. I don't know what the other reviewers were saying about the volume. Did they use it or are they just interpreting the spec sheet? I have only had a bit of static in a tunnel, but it is a radio transceiver afterall.
The piece on the iPod is a bit big, but who really cares, it sits in my bag or pocket now, away from New York iPod snatchers and the bad weather.
And... NO more getting all tangled up when I take off my pack and bags.
The only thing I would have liked to have on it is a battery meter. I hate running out of the house thinking my electronics are charged, just to be dissapointed.
These headsets have renewed my love for the iPod. -
"Idea has been out for over 2 years." on by ispsec
Pros: Wireless style - look and feel.
Cons: Others have been out on the market and this is getting the attention? C'mon.
Summary: There is really no problem with this idea. The same type of unit was brought out over 2 years ago at CES in Las Vegas. In fact, last year at CES and CeBIT there was a product that was just like this working with the IPOD and other BlueTooth (BT) devices called icombi. Why is that not being discovered by CNET?
The problem with any BT device is the signal has a tough time going through body parts and bags. Even BT headsets for phones are getting knocked a little for people having the BT in the ear and the phone in their pocket. The BT looses signal.
The idea is great, but please understand that there are limitations to BT and if you have an idea that you can put the headphones on and bury your IPOD deep in a bag.. Well that just may not be the world you get with any BT device.Updated
