off Anandtech forums FS/FT section... For light media watching, there are so many times I wished that I had wireless headphones! So for mere $20, I'm getting this!! Hee... Anyone have a pair that wanna share the experience?

How is sound quality with those things?
Are they Stereo/Mono?
Battery time?
Charging time?
Price?
Easy to configure?
Are you bored with my questions? :P

OOOH nice!! im dying for a pair of wireless headphones but i need a mic feature as well for my gaming needs. Im a hard core gamer and need my ventrilo working.

Logtec isnt so bad i have one of their headsets now (wire) and they really hold up nice to my abuse.

I currently have two setups for it... 1 headphone and 1 boom mic... a bit inconvenient, yes, but it gets the job done! :D

Wireless headphones, awesome. My husband does a lot of computer gaming and always uses headphones. I think this would really be something he would like.

I think it would too... but you may want to wait a bit for my review... USB/wireless devices could always produce lag on games and slow it down... esp. in FPS (First Person Shooters) games... what does he mainly play?

Its on my christmas list. Along with a new graphics card. Lucky for me my birthday falls a few days after christmas so i have the extra gift money if i miss out on something i wanted for xmas. :D

Well, I got it... and after bit of fiddling, it's working. :)
However, it's a bit of pain. The USB-to-bluetooth dongle needs to be "told" to connect to the device each time either 1. you unplugged it and replugged it back or 2. you used onboard sound card and returned to it. When it's working, it works beautifully... but that two to three minutes of waiting is a killer.

I think I will try to get the one that uses audio jack so as to bypass USB crap. The only positive thing this has over Wireless Heaphones for MP3 is that you can control certain softwares like WMP via the headphone but it's not worth it to me...

Looks cool. I'm not bothered enough by wired headphones to get wireless ones, but they'd be pretty cool just to have. :)

Do they cause any interference with other Bluetooth devices?

I need them! Im forever jumping up to get a drink or run to the bathroom when im gaming. I always forget to take them off and theypull them off my head. I go through headsets every few months.

Yeah, then these are for you! I found out (after hours of painful uninstall and reinstall) that you don't need to install the driver/software from the CD! :mad: As long as you have Win XP SP2, the drivers themselves get installed automatically and you just have to press the sync button on the headset till you hear a click and you are in business!

My wife's currently using it to listen to her Korean online drama... :)
