    I am just looking for a headphone,um, :confused: ,wireless headphone would be better~

    I had a wired one, but recently I wanna get a wireless one, so I need some opinion~I have looking around on the internet for few days, but haven't found the idea one.

    Guys, any idea? Just wondering what you guys' opinion on the wireless headphone? Does it have good sounds? What about the signal or battery problem?

    um...waiting you guys reply, the more opinion the better~LoL

    I have always been happy with my Plantronics Pulsar 590A headphones.

    Portable, Small, Comfortable, Sounds Great, Flexible

    Sounds much better than I expected. Its bluetooth so no wires, dongles or anything else, gives about 30ft of range, has a microphone on it and can not only work on a laptop but with cell phones and things to listen to music and take calls.

    I only use them when I need the wireless functionality, like say doing a ton of paperwork in the office that requires me to be at my desk one minute, then at the file cabinet across the room the next minute.

    I quite up my music collection on my laptop and can listen to music contantly anywhere in the room without disturbing others or having them disturb me.

    For sitting and doing any listening/gaming I gladly accept the wire since the quality and price of wired headphones generally better especially now that I have a dac/amp for both my laptop and desktop wireless stuff cant begin to compete with the quality.

    It would really help us narrow it down if you tell us how much dosh you're willing to spend.

    1) How much do you want to spend?

    2) You can't assume that wireless is automatically better because it's wireless. Wireless has some serious drawbacks. Wireless headphones are going to be heavier, be more expensive, require batteries that need recharging, and have lower sound quality due to compression.

    I have to say your advice is awesome!!They looks fantastic, make me feel exciting! :)

    But to be honest, they are more expensive than my budget, I don't wanna buy so much expensive one right now.

    May be next time I'll take your suggestion. :p LoL

    Well, actually, my budget is around $50 or below $80~

    Anyway, thank you very much for you introducing these awesome products for me~ :)
