Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones - Headphones ( behind-the-neck ) - wireless - Bluetooth 2.0 EDR - black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So far, the ear loops are stay on my head just fine. Range is about 25 feet or so. Sound quality is excellent - zero static. I have only had mine for a few days, so I cannot address how well they last, but the sound quality is great. It isn't quite what you will get from normal plug-in headphones, but it is more than good enough for general purpose use where you don't want to be tied down by a cord and if you are in any type of a noisy environment you are unluckly to notice the difference.
The only problem I have had so far is they aren't super comfortable. The cushions on them are very thin which would suffice for most headphone, but since they basically are held onto your head by squeezing your head, the pressure combined with the hardness underneath the cushions is uncomfortable. I've tried bending the body wire some to lessen the tension, but even as they approach feeling loose, the hardness of the earpieces is still evidenent through pressure on my ears.
Follow up: several months later, these just quit working. So, I have moved on to motorokr's.

Sennheiser PXC 310 Compact Noise-Canceling Travel Headphones (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I also have the px-100,pxc-250,pxc-300. The PXC-310 is nicely built. They are bigger than the other pxc models and sit on the ear. Because of this you get better noise cancellation than the other models. They also come in a case that is just a tiny bit bigger than the case of the pxc-250 and 300. On the plus side, the noise cancellation is built into the earphones rather than an external piece as in the 250 and 300. It also has a volume control built into the earphones. The sound is good with good bass and highs. That being said, when you turn the noise cancellation on, you lose some bass. This was also the case with the pxc-300 but not the 250. However, the 310 still puts out more bass than any of the previous models. The talk through function is handy when someone is speaking to you. All you have to do is press the button on the earphone and it shuts off the music so you can hear via a built in microphone. However, it sounds as though you are under water. It has a very hollow sound, but it is a nice feature. Once again, these earphones, like its predecessors do not play as loud as other headphones but is more than sufficient. Another nice feature is that the earphones still work without the noise cancellation turned on. To be honest, the earphones sound better with the noise cancellation turned off. If you are in a quiet environment, this would be the way to go. All in all they are comfortable,good sounding and nicely built. By the way, i had and returned the Bose QC3. To my ears the 310 are much better sounding.

Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using the Nokia BH905's daily at work for over three months and spent enough quality time with them to post an honest review. I practically live in a noisy computer lab eight or more hours a day and noise canceling headphones was a mandatory check box in my purchasing decision, wireless was another. I was constantly catching and breaking the audio cable on my Sennheiser PXC 250's and JVC HA-NC250's while moving around the lab.
First of all, I really like the Nokia BH905's. They work well with my Blackberry Bold for music and phone conversations, and all of the control functions on the headset work. I also have an application that reads my email over Bluetooth which is a nice convenience. It's too bad that a Blackberry app doesn't exist that can read the caller ID or I'd really have it made! Noise cancellation is awesome, the best I've ever had in a pair of NC headphones, but unfortunately it does nothing to help the person at the other end of the phone hear me better in a noisy environment. That really isn't a big deal, I can step out of the lab easy enough.
The BH905's come with a nice leather storage case complete with battery charger (for the non replaceable battery inside the headphones), an audio cable for corded connections, and just about every kind of adapter you could possibly need. No point elaborating much further on this.
Now as much as I like these headphones, I do have a few complaints. For one they look really dorky on your head. It's like the headband was designed around a piece of cauliflower. If you have a cauliflower head then your in luck! But for the rest of us, well...we look ridiculous wearing these headphones. And because the headband bows out so much, they weren't staying on my head very well. I wrapped a couple of black Velcro strips around the top of the headband with the poky side facing outward. This makes them stick to my hair which helps a lot.; your mileage may vary. Still, they are very comfortable to me, and I can wear them all day long.
Another complaint I have is the sound. Mids and high's are great but bass is noticeably lacking. These are not audiophile headphone like Nokia makes them out to be in their advertising videos. If you've seen these videos you know what I am talking about. I've tried increasing the bass a few db's on some of my music but the headphones just made the music sound distorted or unnatural. According to Nokia's specs, the low frequency range is 15Hz. I tested their claim by generating a 15hz MP3 file with Goldwave and BH905's could not reproduce it at all. I'd say that the low end is more like 80-100Hz. In comparison, my Sennheiser's and JVC's can reproduce the 15Hz sound file. Sound quality is the same whether a wired or wireless connection is used.
One final complaint I have is the price. $150 is an excellent price, $200 is a fair price, anything more than that is too much. At the moment the BH905's don't have any real competition. Sure there are cheaper headphones with similar features but they're not the same quality. Until someone comes out with something that is more-better-cheaper than I'd say that the BH905's are the best you can get right now.
The bottom line is that I am reasonably happy with them, I can't imagine not having them (at work), but they could be so much better.

Nokia BH-905i Bluetooth Headset (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok... so I must be getting old, have allot of free time or these headphones are awesome enough to make me sit here and actually write a review. I am only 30, rarely have free time so its neither of those. BOTTOM LINE, these headphones are awesome. I was so nervous when purchasing these...is the audio quality gonna meet my expectations??? Will callers be able to clearly hear me? How rugged are they as I am hard on stuff??? Should I go with Sennheiser as they seem to be the leader in headphone technology????
The final verdict: I made the right choice and I will tell you that if you buy these you will be happy and honestly, the $300 price tag is appropriate in my estimation. The sound quality is awesome! I listen to allot of different music. Hip hop ( I want my bass ) R&B ( I really need my bass and mids) rock ( I need need my bass and highs). These headphones do it all. The call quality is very impressive also. I couldnt wait to call 2-3 people and see what they said and if they knew I was calling on a bluetooth headset. If anyone of them complained I was mailing these things back quicker than you could snap your fingers. For $300, these had to be perfect and I would have moved on to the Sennheisers. I would have hated to do this as the sound, distance to bluetooth device and build were solid. First call to my wife...success, "Wow, you sound really good." Second call to my brother who would have loved to burst my bubble cause I am so picky said "Wow, did you get a new phone, you sound really clear." My response, "Nope, not a new phone, but a $300 pair of headphones which I am using to talk to you right now." He couldnt believe I was on a headset, nevertheless one without a boom mic in front of face. I am truly amazed by that fact as well.
Dont be afraid to invest in these for yourself or someone else. I researched headphones for weeks. Everything from wired Bose QC15, sennheiser, sony, beats by dre, etc. I will NEVER use a wired headphone with the quality I get from this bluetooth headset. I was actually kinda mad at BOSE for charging $300 for something that is very comparable in sound, has the same noise canceling feature, was wired and required an additional $40 purchase of a new wire to be able to control the phone. What a rip off and I am a big Bose fan so it kinda hurts to say that. Their sound is slightly better...NO DOUBT. But let me tell you, DO NOT spend $300 for a wired headset. I use a droid motorola, sony viaio laptop and Ps3 with these. AWESOME. I can use these to play Call of Duty, or connect to my laptop and watch a movie or use them on the train and plane with my droid to make calls and listen to music. Geesh, I really cant say enough and honestly..I think this is only the 2nd review I ever wrote in my life. I just remember my concerns with these after I placed the order and wanted to put others at ease. Worst case, amazon has a good return policy and you get your money back. Oh yeah, i work in a big corporate office and I was walking around yesterday with these on and 2 co-workers made comments. "Sweet headphones jay, those look sharp." A plus for those that will use these in public. I listen to my music everywhere now. Grocery store, shoveling snow (yes they are durable), etc. I wont wear them to the gym...NO WAY. I will use the old wired $15 sonys to sweat in. Also, just an fyi. I didnt move from $15 headhpones to these. I had $150 sonys that crapped out after 2 years. They were a goo0d wired product and the sound and NCF was awesome, but these things are ridiculously cool. I have to list one or 2 nuetral facts about this item but none are negative.
1.) These things are very nice looking and comfortable. People are going to want to steal them.
2.) Active noise canceling means if there is a consistent noise, ie. fan, jet engine, lots of people talking in a crowded place, it will block it out and do a very good job at it. If Joe Smoe wants to come up to you and chat, this will not be blocked. If you are watching Dr. Phil, you will hear all of his garbage advice unless you turn the volume up on the headphones. THis is good for me so I dont have to really do anything if I am with a friend and they wanna chat. Maybe turn down the volume, but thats about it. The ANC will not mute them. Ok, I am done and I hope folks find this helpful.
