    I love my bluetooth headphones

    A few weeks ago I picked up two sets of (Korean-brand) 'U-needs' Bluetooth headphones/headset and I just love them. Loads more comfortable than the Jensen noise cancelling headphones (with wires) that I've been using.

    These things are Bt 2.0 EDR, A2DP, AVRCP, as well as HSP/HFP for phones. And they cost me all of $35 each from www.monoprice.com (where I buy all of my cables and adapters).

    The battery appears to last a decently long time. I've been using them about 3 hours a day and can go at least a week before a 4 hour recharge session. I don't know for sure because I haven't killed the battery yet.

    The phones have a mini-USB socket and comes with a mini-standard USB cable for recharging from your computer.

    I have only played with them as a cell phone headset but they seem to work fine. The microphone is embedded in one of the ear cups so you won't be having any private conversations.

    Bonus: the users booklet is one of the funnier examples of "Engrish" I've seen in quite a while.

    Not bad at all 4 4hrs.U can also buy a more powerfull rechargeable battery.

    I got a bluetooth mouse in which the recharging method is the same as your
    phones (USB cable/computer).My batts last about 20hrs.

    The battery is not user replaceable, it's a custom doughnut-shaped LiPoly buried in one of the ear cups.

    For $35- I'm not going to worry about it. In a year or two, whenever these phone give up their ghost) something better will have come along.
