Wireless headphones- recommendations??

Post by RedGlitter »

I need to get some new wireless headphones. (The kind that work with an mp3 player)

Right now I'm using a cheap pair (under $50) off eBay, new.

I've been pricing them and they go up to a few hundred. That's too much for this girl. So does anyone here have any or a brand they'd suggest I look into? Brand name is unimportant to me, but sound quality is.

I don't understand the qualifer you dropped in there, "The kind that work with an mp3 player". What kind don't work with an mp3 player?

Maybe if you show us the model you're using now it might make more sense to me.

Skip the headphones and get a Yamaha, or HK stereo (2 channel) receiver; and a pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers. I turn my music up loud as hell at work. Nothing like





at about 110 decibels to drive home audio sales.

I have another pair that only work with radio and TV. I don't want that kind again, they're useless to me. The ones I have now are made just for an iPod/other mp3 player. I would take a photo but my digital isn't working now. They're made by Logitech.

And it has a model number? So I can look at what it's like?

I'm sorry Spot. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

Here is what I have:

The only thing I dislike about these phones is that they are not adjustable and continually slip off my ears. Other than that they're good but I'd like to know if there are even better ones.

I haven't done it, but if I wanted noise-cancelling non-slip bluetoothed ipod-playing ear accessories there's only two companies that are likely to put their hand up and say guilty. Shure and Etymotic.

You're not really going to get to try them without buying a pair. You might like them, you might not. Do you feel lucky?

Hey, those look interesting! I like that the controls are on the earbud itself. I might check those out.

Thanks Spot. :)
