Creative SL3100 Wireless Headphones Review

Creative SL3100 Wireless Headphones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had these headphones for about 2 weeks now and they've completely surpassed my expectations and I'm extremely happy with them. They work flawlessly with every device I've hooked them to. They can connect to anything with a strereo headphone jack (3.5mm) and If you'd like to hook them up to your Audio/Video reciever all you need is one of those jacks that converted the large plug to the small ones. They're foolproof to use; simply conect the very small bluetooth transmitter to a device and turn it on, turn on the headphones and they hook up seamlessly. The audio quality is much better than I expected and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between wired and wireless because the sound is exceptional. The charger provided charges both the headphones and the small transmitter at the same time, the charge time is only about 2.5 hours and they last a reasonable 7-8 hours of continous music play. What makes these headphones so versatile is that they can also be used in wired mode and they come with a cable that alows you to use tham as regular wired headphones if the battery dies out on you. They are quite lightweight and I use them at the gym regularily. The ONLY slight downside is that because the headphones have a built in Lithium-Ion battery, they are a little larger than I'd like but it's a downside I am more then willing to put up with because having NO wires is simply amazing. I don't think I can ever go back to wired headphones. I can't believe more people don't own these yet because CREATIVE obviously did their research before releasing these and overall they are exceptional headphones. There is occasionally interference but the transmitter automatically fixes it quickly so al you need to do is hook them up to your MP3 and leave it in your pocket. Even more good news is that if you have a MP3 player that supports the audio controls, you can scroll through songs from buttons on the headphones, but even if your MP3 player doesn't support this, there is a volume control on the headphone that works no matter what the transmitter is hooked to. Just so you know, these headphones are not meant to transmit very far and there is interference if you go a room or too away because the transmiter is so small it really can't create a strong enough signal to punch through a bunch of walls but this isn't what the headphones are meant for. I simply can't say enough good things about these great sounding wireless headphones and I'd highly recomend them to anyone wanting a perfect solution for some wirelss music from an MP3 player, TV, and any other device you'd like to hook them.

Sony DRBT100CX/BLU Ear Bud Style Stereo Bluetooth Headset Review

Sony DRBT100CX/BLU Ear Bud Style Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had reservations about this product when I purchased it on-line, but I had been searching for a wireless or semi wireless stereo headset that fits my modest but specific requirements, so I tried it out, and I really like it.
Unlike other Bluetooth stereo headset devices I have tried, this little unit has great range. Others I've tried had a difficult time streaming audio at the distance from my head to my hand with my arm extended at 90 degrees, which is of little use to me. With the DRBT100CX, I can place my mobile device in my pocket or even walk away from it an easy 30 meters with excellent streaming clarity.
The ear buds fit comfortably and I can manually adjust the amount of ambient noise I want to hear by adjusting how snugly I put them in my ears. This is important because there are times you need to be aware of the sounds around you, and there are times you just want to drown everything out. And because the ear buds are corded, the Bluetooth transmitter doesn't have to be pressed against the back of my skull or hanging behind my ear; I can clip it to my shirt sleeve or waist band. While the precise health risks of Bluetooth transmissions are somewhat unknown, I'd just as soon limit the proximity to my head.
It's extremely light weight with a compact form factor, and the simplicity of the miniature joystick control is brilliant, even for my huge hands and fingers. So far, it appears to be quite efficient with power usage, and I love that it recharges via USB, with the USB charge cable included.
There is one item that I would consider to be a significant design flaw that Sony should fix if they design another (even smaller) version, and I hope that they do. The built-in, plastic spring loaded clip used to clip it onto your cloths, etc., is far too flimsy for even casual use. On my unit, the clip broke off at the hinge and it's just too tiny and delicate to attempt any type of lasting repair. I happened to have a small Velcro strap with a metal clip on it, the kind you might see threaded through the hole of an identification badge clipped to one's jacket lapel, which works perfectly for me, actually better than the original.
The price seems a bit high, but because this unit fits my needs, I use it all the time, so I'm comfortable that it was a good purchase. I have to deduct from the rating, not just because my clip broke, but because Sony should have given more realistic consideration to the design, for that price.

Panasonic RP-BT10 Bluetooth Headphones (White) Review

The sound on this unit is great, but you'll need to get a better pair of earbuds to notice it. I have Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones. The transmitter's sound quality is much better than the BluNa Bluetooth Ipod Nano Adapter but...
...the design is klunky. The transmitter's ipod connector falls off very easily and is bigger than a v1 nano. Also the power button must be held down several seconds to turn it on. The BluNa unit has it beaten in design, with a snug fit and auto power on but the sound is crackly.
Yes the only thing pictured on this amazon listing are the earphones but you'll want to throw them away. The package also comes with a clip-on bluetooth receiver with ipod remote controls and the transmitter unit.

Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones Review

Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you just want this to listen to music when you walk around, it's a great idea for a product. But if you sweat, don't waste your money. Within two weeks the buttons stop responding and then it's over. Sound quality for calls is also poor in general. This thing is marketed as a sport headset, but after going through the death and exchange of three of these, I gave up and got my money back from Motorola (after an hour on the phone with CS reps). Again, don't waste your money on this.

Stay in tune and connected while strolling down the street with the Motorola Motorokr S9 active Bluetooth headphones. Combining ease of use with the latest Bluetooth wireless technology, the phones are ideal for Bluetooth-enabled cell phone owners or for iPod owners with compatible adapters. The S9 phones are distinguished by a behind-the-head design that weighs just over an ounce, providing the ultimate in comfort whether you're working out or riding mass transit. The phones' ultra-compact 0.51-inch ear buds, meanwhile, fit softly in the ear even during extended use--a must for long conversations or listening sessions. And users will love the innovative touch-sensitive controls on the sides of the headband. The touch controls let you easily adjust the volume, skip or repeat tracks, or answer a phone call while on the move.
The S9 phones make a terrific workout partner thanks to the wireless technology and the water- and sweat-resistant design. Want to listen to your iPod at the gym without getting tangled in wires? Buy an iPod Bluetooth adapter and you're set. Alternatively, you can listen to your mobile phone's music selection during tough workouts, or even music from your home stereo while lifting weights nearby using the DC800 stereo adapter.

Phone-wise, the S9 headphones are built to provide superior call quality, less interference, and faster connections thanks to the Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology. Class 2 Bluetooth also provides a range of up to 33 feet--enough for a variety of home and portable applications. For optimal outdoor performance, users should position the music device in close proximity to and in the line of sight of the S9's internal antenna, which is located in the base behind the user's head. Placing the music device in a front pocket is not recommended.

Other details include support for up to six hours of music listening or seven hours of talk from a single charge of the 180 mAh lithium-ion battery; a mini USB connector for charging; and a stylish black housing with red highlights. The phones measure 4.9 by 1.8 by 5.1 inches (W x H x D), weigh 1.14 ounces, and are backed by a one-year warranty.

Note: Motorola Bluetooth stereo products (headphones and adapters) are compatible with any brand of Bluetooth-enabled phone or music device that supports Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) protocols. In order for Bluetooth devices to communicate with one another, they must utilize the same Bluetooth profile. To determine the profiles supported by other Motorola devices, visit www.hellomoto.com/bluetooth. For other devices, contact the respective manufacturers. Certain Bluetooth features--including those listed--may not be supported by all compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices, and/or the functionality of such features may be limited in certain devices or by certain wireless carriers. Contact your wireless carrier about feature availability and functionality.

I love these headphones. The AVRDP controls are great for whatever media player you're using (iTunes, Windows Media Player, WinAmp, Media Monkey, VLC, and so on). The only wire is a tiny cord connecting the two clip-ons. They stay firmly on the ear, and do not cause wear and tear on your ears after only a few hours use. I research practically all the Bluetooth headphones out there, and these are by far the best.
The built in microphone also works great, and I've used these as my mobile headset far more often. You just can't go wrong with these.

Sony DRBT160iK Bluetooth Stereo Headset with iPod Adapter (Black) Review

Sony DRBT160iK Bluetooth Stereo Headset with iPod Adapter (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like to have my ipod playing when I do errands or workout at the gym but I hate the wires on my headphones always getting in the way and catching on things. Through friends and different stores I tried SEVERAL various wireless solutions like the Jaybird, the Motorola, the Toshiba and even another different model of Sony because I didn't want to buy something only to find the sound quality or bluetooth function was weak. Then while browsing Amazon I came across the Sony DRBT160iK. At first I thought the headset design with the behind-the-ear pods were strange looking compared to other models and I wanted no part of them... but having no friends who owned them and not finding them in any stores, I decided to buy from Amazon anyway since there were few reviews at the time that were very good ones.
Well I received them and flat out I am truly blown away. It's kinda nice when something you are hoping will work out actually exceeds your expectations. Without any question whatsoever this set-up is by far the very best sounding wireless bluetooth ipod headphones I've heard...period. I absolutely love these and what's funny is they sound better than another wired headphone I've had on my ipod. If anyone is on the fence about these and are looking for a review to help, Im giving you an honest and discerning opinion...if you can get around the funky (but fairly comfortable) design, these are worth every penny (currently around $114 on Amazon).
The sound quality for a lightweight portable bluetooth stereo headphone is simply excellent. Suprisingly so. The transmitter/receiver uses one of the latest advanced bluetooth versions known as Bluetooth ver 2.1 + EDR (extended data rate)... I have no idea why Amazon doesn't indicate this as a product feature , it makes a huge difference. Even very complex and sonically detailed parts of music are crisp and defined and play without being muddled or distorted. (I'm sure it helps that I buy most of my music from Itunes or Amazon so it's encoded well from the start). The bass response is suprisingly good and continues to catch my attention even after four months. The highs and midrange are on the spot with the same very good detail and sound quality. Last night I played the entire Dark Knight soundtrack while doing chores and the deep dark bass notes of these dramatic tracks came through with flying colors and even a hint of true stereo imaging. Love them!!
Other cool things:
-Transmitter fits securely and snugly into your ipod and is very low-profile, about the size of a quarter (don't lose it!!!) It draws a tiny amount of power from your ipod so you never need to charge the transmitter, only the heaphones with the supplied charger.
-There is a micro joystick at the end of one of the earpods and after a couple of tries is easy to master. With this tiny joystick you can skip tracks forward, backward, pause, volume up, volume down as well as scan forward and scan backward with just the touch of your finger without every needing to touch your ipod, wherever you have it stowed. You can literally put your ipod in your waistpack, purse, dufflebag, pocket...anywhere within 15-25 feet of where you are and the sound is still excellent.
-Like I said they look different but they are fairly comfortable, snug, sturdy and very lightweight. If you run or bounce around alot with exercise or chores they will not come off and disrupt you from your sound. These are earbud type of headphones so they go inside your ear and the advantage of that outside of the high sound quality is that it will take out all background sound (like the bad music they play at the gym or the people who keep yapping at the treadmill next to you). I tried a different Sony model that just sat "on" your ear and these could not even come close to muting out these annoyances with high quality sound. If you are going to use them while biking I highly suggest you keep the volume down so you can hear other sounds around you. Safety first.
-It takes about 1.5 hours to charge these from empty and this will last you about 5 realistic hours. I get about three or four 90 minute workouts in without charging usually.
- This model will also let you do phone calls with your bluetooth phone / Iphone that will interrupt if a call comes in while listening to music. I don't use my phone in this way and have not tried this feature or paired it to anything but my Ipod Nano 5G and Ipod Touch so I can't report on the phone feature, but it's there.
Reviews helped me find this model and my strong suggestion to you if you are shopping for high quality bluetooth wireless solutions with high quality sound for your ipod is to simply get over the unusual look of these and buy them. Don't waste your time like I did. I'm one of the fussy types for great sound quality and these simply please me tremendously.

I installed this unit in a 92 dodge 4X4 deisel pickup. The blue tooth works really well, my truck is fairly loud because of the deisel engine and the tires. While driving the called party can hear some background noise but my voice is loud and clear above it. I have called my own answer machine to check it. The radio and CD player work well, I also bought the HD radio adapter and it all sounds good. Like so many new things these days it has a lot of features, but navigating the menu while driving is nearly impossible. I set everything up in my driveway now I just drive and live with it. I wish they still had old fashion bass and treble nobs because making changes require navigating through the menus. I would say the inability to make simple adjustments easily is the biggest downfall. All in all I like the unit and would definitely recommend it.

These are probably the worst headphones I have ever used. The seller was good, sent them instantly but the product is horrible. They claim to be stereo but theres no way, I don't even think these are good enough to classify as mono. It sounds as if you are listening to someone playing a staticy radio in the next room. No bass what so ever, the only thing you can hear clearly is the constant high pitch whine coming from them even when theres no audio being played... it's still there making your ears bleed. I went too cheep I guess, I just really didn't imagine them being this bad, I suppose you get what you pay for but these aren't even usable, don't waste your money even if it's not that much. Your ears will thank you for not subjecting them to this. Also the tower for some reason didn't come with a power cord and needed batteries, a huge pointless waste just like this product.

USA Spec iPod?? Interface Connects your iPod to select 1998-up BMW DSP-style factory radios Review

USA Spec iPod Interface Connects your iPod to select 1998-up BMW DSP-style factory radios
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The instructions stated that this unit did not work with factory navigation. What that indicates is that it will take over your Nav display and make using the navigation unusuable (keeps bouncing back to ipod information). Our solution was to turn off text display on radio (dip switch #3 on the PA12) and the unit works perfectly. This is for the wifes 04' X3 and I have the Dice Silverline in my BMW. I actually like this product better. It plays the first 4 playlists under disc 1-4 and disc 5 is hybrid mode which allows you to control from the ipod. With all of the modes you can advance to the next song from the steering wheel controls. If anyone puts this in a DSP setup with BMW assist you have to use the coax going to the phone in the center console for the DSP. Our CD changer controller cable was really buried under the center console also.
Pacific Stereo was great to deal with. The unit was missing the ipod cable, I called and they shipped a new one priority mail. Even asked if they could do something else to compensate me for my trouble. I declined, but loved the offer.
I'd give this 5 stars if it worked perfectly with Navigation. Albeit, they did state that it does not work with Nav in the manual and on their website, but I think it would be simple for them to fix. Actually my Dice doesn't exactly play nice with the navigation in my 540i BMW.

It has an excellent range, and usually sees many other bluetooth devices in its ample range.

I personally have had no problems with the device, and it has preformed admirably.

This is the third product I have ordered from Satechi and every time I have received my order in a timely manner and a have been extremely happy with the products themselves. the sonorix itself is great. I use it along with my Ipod with Naviplay adaptor. The sound quality is great and the pairing was easy. The range seems to be quite good too. I often wear it while doing chores around the house and can go into other rooms and maintain the sound. I purchased this to replace my Motorola S9 which kept skipping on me. As a stereo bluetooth headset for listening to music, I would give the Sonorix 5 stars. For use as a bluetooth headset for mobile phones I would give it 4 stars. During phone calls it sounded a bit tinny and at times people on the other end had difficulty hearing me unless I had the unit positioned correctly near my mouth. Still I have used it quite a bit for the last week for phone calls and it is not that bad. The caller ID display is a definite plus.

Average Reviews:

I bought this item from Best Buy last week and after 3 days returned it. I took a chance in buying it since I could not find one single review online from any other buyers. Well, I took a risk & got burned. In my opinion, this item is NOT hands free. It does not 'automatically' reconnect with your phone every time you get in the car. This item worked fine the first day after I paired it, I was able to receive calls and hear pretty clearly (there was some mild hissing noise in the background). The problem is, every time I got back into the car on subsequent days, this item did not reconnect to my phone. I had to go into the options of my phone and direct my phone to reconnect with the Scosche, to me that is the "opposite" of hands free. I have used my phone with other Bluetooth devices and they were always connected (which is how it should be with Bluetooth, so I'm sure it was 'not' my phone, it was a problem with the Scosche). Also, you cannot place calls with the Scosche even if you have voice on your phone, I tried and it did not work. Listen, the only thing this gadget has going for it is that it goes thru the auxiliary input in the car, which is why I bought it, but that's it, so unless your prepared to manually connect it to your phone each time you turn your car on, forget about the Scosche!!!

Samsung P2 8 GB Touchscreen Bluetooth Portable Media Player (Black) Review

Samsung P2 8 GB Touchscreen Bluetooth Portable Media Player (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Aesthetically, this is a really nice product from Samsung. The player is quite sleek, with nice rounded edges, a decent weight, and sharp piano black gloss finish. The sound quality is superb. I didn't get the same battery life the manufacturer did (they rate 30 hours, I probably average 20), but I would bet that's because I use the touchscreen interface more than their battery testers did.
As for the touchscreen, I have to admit it's pretty nice. I prefer tactile use, so I'm more of a fan of buttons than touchscreens, but Samsung has done a nice job executing this one. There are a couple of odd quirks to the touchscreen. For example, when you "swipe" the touchscreen to advance you have to swipe from right to left, which seems counterintuitive since you are advancing the progress bar from left to right. Obviously, the same is true of swiping to back up, where you swipe from left to right, even though you're going back on the progress bar.
Also, in the default menu setting, you make circular gestures on the touchscreen to advance through the menu. Neat? yes. Functional? not really. The biggest problem I had with this is that my thumb kept obscuring the icons as they moved into view. Ultimately, I found this too annoying and I disabled it in favor of a regular grid menu. Not as cool to show your friends, but much more functional.
The audio player functions are top notch. As a caveat to this, I will say that I could not get this to sync with Winamp 5.5. My Winamp crashed every time I loaded it when the P2 was plugged in. Instead, I did my syncing through Windows Media Player, and it worked fine. It synced playlists perfectly, and did a great job recognizing albums when I copied them directly like a mass storage device. The on-board player functions include a customizable EQ with quite a few presets and a clarity adjuster. There are preset visualizations including a couple of light shows (that do not track the music), album art, track info, and a spectrum analyzer.
The video player is pretty good, but I don't really like watching video on such a small screen anyway. I'm not a big fan of the fact that you have to convert through Samsung's software to get it to run, but I guess that's the case with most MP3/video players. The widescreen playback is properly formated. FM reception is satisfactory. Not sure how the eReader works since I don't have any ebooks for it, but you can see test screens of it.
This is, overall, a good MP3 player, even if it is a bit pricey. It is only $50 cheaper than the iTouch, but it also brings in an FM radio tuner and bluetooth support for up to two bluetooth devices--including a pass-thru for your cellphone to a set of bluetooth stereo headphones like the non-US release Samsung T9. Bluetooth is a great feature if you've got bluetooth headsets, speakers, or car radio. So you're getting more features than the iTouch offers. A major downside for me is the fact that it is primarily touchscreen-only (there are hard buttons on the side: on the left a lock button and a play/pause/power button; on the right, two volume buttons). Since I tend to like to keep my mp3 in my pocket, I prefer to have tactile skip buttons as well.
Samsung has made some great strides with their feature packed MP3 players. And while this one was almost perfect for me, it fell short of the mark only in the somewhat high price tag and the lack of hard skip buttons. I give them kudos, however, for having hard play/pause/power and volume buttons (FYI, play/pause and volume can also be controlled via the touchscreen).

HP GW470AA#ABA Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones Review

HP GW470AA#ABA Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these as a Christmas present (for myself) directly from HP. At the time they were listed for $160.00 and I found I could get them from HP for $100.00. I liked the bluetooth, it setup just fine with my Vista laptop (also an HP) and the sound was fine. The noise canceling didn't really work, all I got was a high-pitched squeal in the right ear, but I'm in a quiet office, so I didn't worry about it.
I had the same problem that others have had, the headband breaks. I have a pretty normal to small head (I wear a 6 and 1/4 fitted baseball hat) and the headband busted in two.
I sent them back, and HP never bothered to send me a replacement. When I called, they had already refunded my money. They offered me a 25% discount on any other pair of headphones, but I was so put off by the whole experience, I told them "no thanks".
If HP can design a better head band, they'll have something to offer, but as for now, these headphones are not worth the time and money.
And, yes, working with HP's outsourced customer service is not fun. They don't understand the issues with the product and are not easy to work with. I hope someone from HP reads this and moves their call center to a nice college town where they can give students that speak English and have people skills a nice place to work. As it is, I won't buy anything from HP for awhile.
