Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

[9a3eedi]

Hi,

Until now I've always been using regular wired headphones, and being the clumsy person that I am, at some point the connector for the headphones becomes loose and the headphones become worthless. I am now sick and tired of buying 30-50$ decent-quality headphones everytime, and so I wanted something that doesn't break, no wires, no bs. And then I started reading about bluetooth stereo headphones.

They seem very interesting to me. High quality sound, no interference (unlike RF-based headphones), and no dongles or anything like that, and very portable. Also has mics too. So I was thinking of getting one. But this kinda seems too hard to believe. Are there any disadvantages to bluetooth headphones?

Currently I use my PSP for an mp3 player (to use my G1 as a music player I need to use some stupid dongle which is really annoying). If bluetooth headphones, I'd gladly move to using my G1 for music (it's a pretty decent music player), and making more space for videos on my PSP :P

I'm using JVC Gumy phones with the Bluetooth bit, sounds great, call quality is good, they charge via usb, mine came with a European 2 pin plug usb charger (seem to be getting a collection of non UK chargers)

So I got these headphones:


Thoughts:
- These headphones are AWESOME. The quality is much better than I expected for regular audio. In fact, I can't tell the difference between wired and wireless
- When I got it, it was much smaller than I expected. But they're still aweosme and comfortable and stylish as well
- Call quality is good too, though talking on these headphones in public is kinda wierd.
- Took me a while to set them up on windows, but they work now. Only problem is that I can't use the mic without activating the low-quality call mode for the speakers. sux
- They pair to up to 9 devices. Awesome
- I sometimes get audio skipping, especially in places where there's a lot of stuff going on (like in uni). I blame this on wireless interference (lots of WiFi signals and stuff. outdoors it works like a charm. On my laptop I get very few skips.
- the phone becomes totally slow and unusuable when playing music + using bluetooth headphones. Guess the CPU is being used 100%. time to mod it with cyanogen and overclock?

I'm loving these headphones, and unlike my wired headphones, these will probably stick around for years without breaking.
