    I was just curious about looking into wireless earphones, but wasnt sure about related costs, battery life, and compatibility.

    Does anyone use wireless earphones/headphones? How are they? Any issues?

    Don't even get me started on this. I bought a pair of Creative Bluetooth headphones, SE2300s I believe, for use with my iTod. The first week I was using them, I was taking them off and the clip that holds them on the ear broke clean in half. I was just taking it off the ear in a normal manner. I had a bit of a go around with Creative who told me physical damage is not covered by the warranty, to which I responded that's not warranty says. After some discussion, they basically offered to have me send it in at my expense and they might fix it. Their first offer was to have me buy another pair. I decided to just glue the piece back on, but it broke three more times. I really hate it when companies don't stand behind their products. I filed a complaint with the BBB a little bit ago. We'll see what that brings. I may sue them in small claims court. Even if I don't win, the process may be worth it. It's too bad I actually liked the product. It sounded decent, not as good as wired, but good enough for me.

    I also had a pair of Logitech FreePulse which were uncomfortable. We just had a review of a pair of Motorola bluetooth headphones on the site. I think the gist of it was good if it fits. I think the best advice is to try some out if you can.

    Well I wont buy this online. With personal electronics I usually like to go to a store to see the product in person. I am not too serious about this but it does sound pretty cool to wear wireless earphones while listening to music on the go.

    My main concern is compatibility and reliability in performance overtime...and from your post, durability.

    I've seen some Logitech ones online and they look pretty cool, just wondering now how they are, and how they compare to other brand names.
