 "Broken band solution!" | 2008-10-11 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1DB4KNT22IEWK |
After two broken bands (on the $20 refurb models), I figured out that if I take a tiny paperclip and tape it to the center of the band... totally prevents the band breakage problem. Several months with no problems! It simply doesn't allow the very center of the band to bend very far, but doesn't effect the functionality of the band one bit.
As I said - I'm on my third pair, so I have both the ipod minijack adapter and the USB adapter that plugs into any computer. The USB adapter has MUCH better range! Therefore I can listen to music straight from my itunes, or streaming audio, or podcasts direct from websites. And the range on the USB adapter is at least 100ft in my location. |

Good things I have to say about this product:
Had a long battery life, and nice range. I could clearly listen to my music a good 25- 30 feet away. and somewhat comfortable fit on the ears.
Bad things:
I was disappointed to find that this product broke within a week of me owning it. It did not have the ability to contour to my head, resulting in it eventually breaking in half.And, After trying to tape together it would eventually not receive a signal.
So conclusion: great reliable sound. But only buy if you have a perfectly shaped small head. |

| This review is just more of the same. I loved the product, used it gently but the band still broke. Just not worth the price with the cheap construction and lack of support from Logitech. Had a great idea, but didn't deliver is quality. |

Cons:
1. The deal breaking major flaw of this device is that unless you have a relatively small head, the stress of being worn WILL cause the nonadjustable plastic band to crack in the middle possibly killing it s usability completely. I ve had two of these Logitech for iPod headphones break in the same manner and after only a few weeks of use. Once a crack has formed, failure followed with a week or so after. It seems to crimp or break the internal wiring keeping it from reasonably providing power flow or being able to recharge the controls are on the right side, the internal battery on the left .
If you buy these, be very very gentle with them. If you have the modding skills and time, you might be able to come up with a physical brace to keep the middle safer/cushioned and minimize the breakage chances, but I don t give this device a long life cycle.
2. Related to number 1, because this device is a one size fits all plastic construct with no adjustments, if you re head is relatively big, the fit over your ears may feel too snug painful and/or warm after a number of minutes of use .
3. Unlike earbuds, surrounding environmental sounds can intrude on your listening experience, meaning if you have a low volume media playing, expect sound bleed and straining to block out those sounds.
Pros:
1. Great sound quality richness of sound and very good bass reproduction .
2. Small transmitter. Unlike some other wireless headphones, the wireless transmitter for this unit and its generic MP3 player version is small. You can pocket it or reasonably attach it to your portable devices with feeling like you are carrying a brick. On a white iPod, it would look like a discreet extension of the unit; just a little thicker.
3. Blue Tooth transmitter has less interference than radio transmitter which may require more manual tuning from the user to get a clear signal. This transmitter is crisp and clear in comparison to the couple of radio transmitter wireless headphones I ve used.
Short answer: don t buy them, it's a flaw that Logitech has moved away from with a newer better model.

 "Good till you crack the band" | 2007-10-17 |

It is a good product. The sound is clear and charge holds for hours. I enjoyed the product for almost 6 months. After that I saw that the band started to crack at the middle and near the ear pieces. I taped them and they worked for another 2 months. Then, the cracks worsened and the bluetooth connection started giving me issues. It would connect OK but as soon as I wore them, the cracks widened and the transmitter would go red. I hate that I cannot use them anymore.
Another caution is that if you have a 5G iPod with the headphone jack on the top right, then the transmitter CANNOT fit on the iPod as it is built for older iPods that have a connector slot in middle. But, you can use the seperate Auido lead cable to still hook it up and use it but it is not as compact anymore. Also, because the vol +/- and skip +/- uses the connector, you CANNOT use that feature with iPods that do not have a center connector on the top.
But, apart from the limitations, it is a good product and I enjoyed it. I think Logitech has released a new compatible version for 5G iPods. |

This is my second pair of these and I do not own an Ipod. These are 1/2 the price of the black ones for MP3 Palyers and the set for computers. I mainly use mine with my computer. Battery life is excellent.
The sound quality on these sound really muddy at times, I need to loosen mine up some as they fit really tight and do start to hurt after a while. I find if I push them forward a little on my ears the muddiness goes away and the preasure does as well, but they wont stay there. so I am going to boil the band to loosen them up.
I watch movies with these at night so I don't disturb my neighbors as I live in an apartment and its hard to find a volume where you can hear everything and when the action picks up it doesn't scare the neighbors out of there beds. So to keep everyone happy I use these. I can even get up and run to the kitchen and get somethng to drink and still hear the movie just fine.
The best part about these is they work great with my LG Fusic Phone, I can listen to MP3s on my phone and even change tracks.
For the price these are great!!! |
