Add to my list Product summary

The good: The Wi-Gear iMuffs work with any dock-connecting iPod and have integrated buttons for controlling the player's playback. The headphones offer good audio response and also can function as a headset for a Bluetooth-capable cell phone.

The bad: The Wi-Gear iMuffs are expensive, the headphones' behind-the-neck design may not be comfortable for all users, and there's no option to use the unit with non-iPod MP3 players. The iMuffs are also prone to interference and offer terrible call quality.

The bottom line: The Wi-Gear iMuffs Wireless Headphones are a fine--though not the best--cord-free solution for iPod owners, but they fail as a cell phone headset.

CNET editors' review

  • Reviewed on: 02/08/2007

As indicated by the Microsoft Zune, wireless is the next big thing in portable audio. However, we mostly find this technology in headphones, and there's no denying the convenience of avoiding a tangled mess of wires every time you pull your MP3 player out. One of the many companies offering a solution is Wi-Gear, which offers one product and one product only: the iMuffs Wireless Headphones for iPod ($179.99). Of course, you'll need said ubiquitous player (or a Bluetooth phone) to use the iMuffs, but those who do will be rewarded with warm audio and freedom from messy cord clumps.

The Wi-Gear iMuffs favor the over-the-ear, behind-the-neck design that many portable, non-earbud headphones use. Some users--including this reviewer--find this setup uncomfortable, while others prefer the low-profile styling it offers. The fit is fairly secure--it's even better if you have long hair tied back, as this holds the neckband up and keeps pressure off the ears. The iMuffs' neckband is plenty flexible (though not adjustable), and the ear pieces have removable foam covers, which makes for easy cleaning. (Wi-Gear also includes a spare set of covers.)

    Summary: Although sound quality has improved from the last version, it's still not quite good enough to make it worth replacing your favorite wired earbuds or headphones.
