Great sound quality but FATAL design flaw. Buyer be aware. [Posted on 2007-12-05]
Cons:
1. The deal breaking major flaw of this device is that unless you have a relatively small head, the stress of being worn WILL cause the nonadjustable plastic band to crack in the middle possibly killing it s usability completely. I ve had two of these Logitech for iPod headphones break in the same manner and after only a few weeks of use. Once a crack has formed, failure followed with a week or so after. It seems to crimp or break the internal wiring keeping it from reasonably providing power flow or being able to recharge the controls are on the right side, the internal battery on the left .
If you buy these, be very very gentle with them. If you have the modding skills and time, you might be able to come up with a physical brace to keep the middle safer/cushioned and minimize the breakage chances, but I don t give this device a long life cycle.
2. Related to number 1, because this device is a one size fits all plastic construct with no adjustments, if you re head is relatively big, the fit over your ears may feel too snug painful and/or warm after a number of minutes of use .
3. Unlike earbuds, surrounding environmental sounds can intrude on your listening experience, meaning if you have a low volume media playing, expect sound bleed and straining to block out those sounds.
Pros:
1. Great sound quality richness of sound and very good bass reproduction .
2. Small transmitter. Unlike some other wireless headphones, the wireless transmitter for this unit and its generic MP3 player version is small. You can pocket it or reasonably attach it to your portable devices with feeling like you are carrying a brick. On a white iPod, it would look like a discreet extension of the unit; just a little thicker.
3. Blue Tooth transmitter has less interference than radio transmitter which may require more manual tuning from the user to get a clear signal. This transmitter is crisp and clear in comparison to the couple of radio transmitter wireless headphones I ve used.
Short answer: don t buy them, it's a flaw that Logitech has moved away from with a newer better model.
absolutelly worthless [Posted on 2007-12-21]
I had to return the first set, as it just did not communicate with the sending unit. As most complaints, (the second set)the band cracked after about 3 uses. Eventually fixed that (It now looks like a piece of junk) Battery lasts about 3 hours at the most. Sound quality is not too bad though. A waste of money.
DON'T Buy This Headphones [Posted on 2007-12-23]
DON'T Buy This Headphones, they will broke in the 1st month.
their range is too small not more than 5 meters. i can live with the 5 meters range but they didn't last for 1 month.
Argh! Band breaks way too easily. [Posted on 2008-01-02]
This review is just more of the same. I loved the product, used it gently but the band still broke. Just not worth the price with the cheap construction and lack of support from Logitech. Had a great idea, but didn't deliver is quality.
not that great product [Posted on 2008-04-05]
Good things I have to say about this product:
Had a long battery life, and nice range. I could clearly listen to my music a good 25- 30 feet away. and somewhat comfortable fit on the ears.
Bad things:
I was disappointed to find that this product broke within a week of me owning it. It did not have the ability to contour to my head, resulting in it eventually breaking in half.And, After trying to tape together it would eventually not receive a signal.
So conclusion: great reliable sound. But only buy if you have a perfectly shaped small head.
