As you know, if you have ever bought anything on Amazon, they alway send emails asking you to write a review of your purchase. I have gotten a lot of these emails lately so I finally caved and punched out a “quickie” review of some wireless headphones I bought a couple of months ago. More to come (as time allows) on other things I bought, here you go:
1) Bad battery life. With a full charge, its perfect. The sound is clean and clear. After about 30mins of continuous use the noise cancelling feature noticeably fades along with the quality of the sound. The lesson there is, don’t use these headphones for listening to music for more than an hour. You will get a good 2.5 hours then you’ll hear a pleasant chime and the headphones will turn off and disconnect. It’s unfortunate, these headphones seem to work best if your taking calls or listening to music for short periods of time. For long trips, use standard plug in headphones, yes you will be defeating the purpose of having wireless headphones but you will be happier in the end.
2) Reconnecting with your phone. Before I bought a Sony Ericsson X10, I had a HTC Hero and when the battery of the headphones died (while in use), I would have to go through all the initial setup steps to reconnect my headphones to my HTC. It was a pain and for a while I thought I was just doing something wrong. Once I got a Sony Ericsson X10 the headphone would still disconnect when the battery died but the phone would have the headphones saved as a bluetooth device and reconnecting once I charged the battery is now a snap. The lesson there seems to be, Sony Ericsson products like each other a lot more than they like non-Sony Ericsson products. There really isn’t a fix for that one. Depending on the devices your using you may experience the same thing.
So there you have it. I have no problem recommending these headphones in the future, its just that my selling pitch will have a few asterisks attached to it.
enjoy.
