To my delight, when compared to listening to music from my old bluetooth stereo headphones… Logitech really takes the cake on these for any mp3 audio player and iPod’s. I’m now a believer after listening to Metallica, Eminem and Jimmy Page, I was very very impressed by how insane the clarity and depth of any genre of music I put on. Even the bass came through so clear but hit so hard – amazing when you don’t even feel like your wearing wireless headphones when it only weights 3.2oz.

The Logitech headphones win this time around with design too. The unit comes in a really nice shiny black coloring you can say. Just let the so soft foam earpieces wrap around the back of the neck which features a flexible, but solid feeling frame. I didn’t seem to notice any added bulk when wearing the Logitech MP3 iPod headset and people actually commented on how cool/stylish my wireless stereo headphones were.

On the right earpiece, you get volume controls that are easy to find by touch because of slight indents on a circular control interface. The iPod version, also has track control on the earpiece for skipping forward or back for the newer Apple iPod generations. A separate bluetooth wireless transmitter will plug into any device with a standard headphone jack. If your interested in the iPod edition, it only comes in gray and white.

All the models of Logitech’s bluetooth headphones are surprisingly comfortable and is capable of perfectly smooth reception at up to 30 feet. At the gym, I ventured slightly further than that from the transmitter, but found the headset still worked well, despite an intervening wall.

No more problems of your batteries just dying on you in the middle of a nice jog. To avoid draining the headsets, Logitech includes rechargeable li-ion batteries in both the bluetooth stereo headphones and transmitter. The charger cable has two plugs which charges both components and each charge I found lasted about 8 hours of pretty heavy use.

Only two times did the bluetooth connection between transmitter and stereo headphones go out of sync but was able to resync them within seconds of clicking button. All in all, Logitech’s wireless headphones are a great extra for digital-music lovers. With them, you can enjoy listening to your favorite music during favorite activity without the annoying clutter of wires and can just put your mp3 player away in your pocket, bag and even attaches to a belt clip.

When I first saw this product and after reading high reviews at every site – 3 things came into my head. My initial response was “what a great idea, i gotta have these”. A few seconds later my 2nd thought “this all sounds too good to be true”. My third thought, after receiving the Sennheiser RS120 wireless stereo headphones and slipping these headphones on for the first time, was simply WOW!!!

They come with three connection adapters, so they’ll work with just about any TV, radio, stereo, DVD, game system etc… The charging base/holder unit is small, it doesn’t get in the way and leaves a small enough footprint that you can find a spot for it just about anywhere your mind takes you.

Bottom line is these son of a gun headphones work – and they work extremely well. Right now I have them for my bedroom connected to the television so I can watch TV without keeping my wife awake (she loves these as well). Usually on the weeknights I can have the hockey game on with the volume blasted without making a peep. So far no complaint from her or kids (even if they did, I doubt I’d be able to hear them anyway with these sitting nicely on my head. You can of coarse walk around and do chores, work on the computer, whatever floats your boat and all this without missing a second of anything.

The rechargeable batteries are perfect. No need to plug a cord in, simply place the headset on the base and BAMMM, it’s connected and charging effortlessly. I am the next Emeril Lagasse.

I like the fact that these are very easy and user friendly hooking them up. Just rip open the package and get the product working without having to read the instructions or manual. It’s sounds crazy but it can’t be anymore true.

*The Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 and 906 headset models are basically identical. The products are differentiated by a Bluetooth 2.0 audio adapter that is included with the 906 model only. The 906 is $29.99 more then the BackBeat 903 model.

The BackBeat 906 is comprised of two earpieces connected by an 8″ rubber cable that runs behind the neck. Just like competing headsets from Motorola and Jaybird… each earpiece wraps up and over the back of the ear and is held in place with a slight pinching tension. The headphone fit is also helped by asymmetrically shaped silicone ear tips that hug the opening of the ear canal. All that pinching and hugging may sound uncomfortable, but to my surprise, these were actually one of the most lightweight and unobtrusive stereo headsets I’ve ever had the pleasure of testing.

Just because the BackBeats aren’t designed to seal your ears off from external sounds doesn’t mean Altec Lansing spent any less time designing them for a snug fit whatsoever. In fact, the BackBeat 906 is the first stereo headset we’ve seen that has earpieces that can both rotate and extend up and down for improved comfort.

This overall package conveniently packs all the controls for headsets call answering and music features onto the left and right earpieces. On the outside of the left earpiece, you’ll find a single, relatively large call answer button placed parallel with the ear. A single press of the call answer button picks up incoming calls, while a longer press sends the call to voice mail.

Controls for playing and pausing music are placed similarly on the right earpiece, with an additional switch on the bottom edge of the earpiece for controlling volume and track skip. Holding down the play button for a few seconds engages a bass boost feature that emphasizes lower frequencies which one can’t complain about on quality. The 906 bluetooth stereo headphones rates the battery life of this product at 7hrs of non-stop continuous music playback and/or talk time. A charging adapter with a lengthy cable and interchangeable prongs for foreign sockets is included.

As the closest competitor to the BackBeat 906 in regards to design, price, sound, and features would be the Jaybird JB-200i distinguishes itself with a tapered earpiece design and a thinner cable connection that some may find more comfortable than the Altec Lansing design. When push comes to shove, however, I give the advantage to the BackBeat 906 for its more intuitive, easy easy on ear controls.They’re not quite as invisible as the Sony HBH-IS800, but at half the price, the difference is negligible. Also, unlike the Sony Ericsson wireless stereo headphones, the ear tips on this one are deliberately designed to allow ambient sound to filter in, making them safer to use outdoors and eliminating the low freq rumble that can be heard while walking or jogging with in ear headphones that seal the ear canal.

At first glance the Samsung SBH-500 wireless headphones looks promising and for the price you can’t complain about any of the little features that were left out or withheld for the next model up. The foam padding around the earphones is soft to the touch and the controls are large and well designed. It’s also quite light and the band which connects the two earphones seems sturdy but flexible and didn’t feel like a concern to me.

In the center of the right earphone you’ll find a multifunction control for pairing the headset and placing and ending Samsung SBH500 bluetooth stereo headphones calls. It’s slightly recessed so you can locate it easily when you’re on a call and it’s surrounded by a circular status light. Surrounding the multifunction button are the music controls, which include a play/pause button, a skip control, and a rewind button. They’re also large and easy to use. The volume rocker rests on the rim of the earphone. As it always faces up when you’re on a call, we had no problem finding it even on the first try.

The power switch and the charger port are located on the left earphone. The former is a bit hard to locate when you’re wearing these, but to be honest we doubt you’d be using the power switch during a call. The charger port has a sliding cover. It’s a nice touch, but it’s not totally necessary.

While your at it, you should know and take advantage of the other great features such as the easy position mute function, single finger volume control and auto power in-case you forget to turn the wireless stereo headset off or if your just too lazy to hit a button.

The Plantronics Pulsar 590A comes in two basic easy to setup parts. The main section is a beautiful over the head unit made from silver and black plastic (says the box). The right ear cup has the call answer, mute, and volume up/down buttons along with a telescoping microphone which is neat. Backing this up is a universal bluetooth adapter and also a small, flat cradle with power cord to charge the rechargeable batteries for the wireless stereo headset and the adapter.

The Plantronics Pulsar 590A is very easy to use. First, we followed the simple directions/manual for pairing the bluetooth device wireless headset , then the set to my cell phone (you’ll need to do this once when first using. With that finished, we connected it to my MP3 player using just its standard headphone jack. With all devices involved on and linked, we casually put everything in my pocket and walked out the door. While walking the streets of New York, I was grooving and able to listen to all my music in stereo with surprisingly solid audio quality. The two volume buttons are a tad small but didn’t come up as a big problem and I got a big hand. When a call came through, the Pulsar automatically cut out the music and chimed a unique alert. I just simply answered by pressing the answer button once. Once the call was done, the Pulsar resumed music playback by itself which is perfect for many situations such as in the gym and etc… Battery life also proved to be good in testing. The audio played with perfect clarity through the Plantronics 590A continuously over a period of about 11hr without having to recharge. This is not to shabby at all if you ask me especially for the cost of the headphones – one of the best bang for your buck.

The answer lies in the fact that the stereo headset offers a very cool new twist on the idea of wirelessly playing and controlling your music as well as answering calls. It provides you with a small and ultralight bluetooth controller that has a high quality built-in microphone and a 3.5mm stereo connector jack which allows you to literally use any headset of your choice – freaking amazon feature and idea to future proof your listening enjoyment as you’ll be able to change your bluetooth music device as often as you want.

Aside from the bluetooth that the wireless headphones kit gives you… it also includes a separate wired headset which deliver very good sound quality. It doesn’t stop here because Jabra also gives you a set of 3 different size comfort rubber ear gels (small, medium and large) which allow adjustment to fit the particular shape of anybody’s ear which is a huge problem for me with a lot of headsets. On the Jabra website they claim a solid healthy 8 hours of talking time, 7 hours of music playback use with 230 hours of standby time. I cannot confirm nor test this 100% but I can say on a full charge they last me all day under pretty heavy usage, especially music.

This time around designers used a dog tag design (that is what the controls remind me of) which is pretty cool looking. I like the steel look of the front and back face plates as well as the fact that the entire controller is surrounded by a large black rubber band which protects it nicely against any bumps and scratches. If you don’t like how it looks you can remove it and instead attach the included clothing clip to the back of the unit and fit it to your outfit. The bluetooth headphones box includes a miniUSB wall charger but unfortunately no cable as of now to charge them through your computer such as a USB cable.

Overall, the large and easily accessible dedicated controls for music as the LED indicator lighting out the front looks so futuristic. There’s not much more I can say about this ultralight unit with amazing microphone quality and built-in 3.5mm connector all contribute to make the Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth Stereo Headset a perfect solution for wireless music and calls.
