1. Works in a nearby room or directly above/below the room with the transmitter. 2. Able to hear outside sounds, if you don't want to be completely isolated from your surroundings. 3. Nice to be able to adjust the volume by touching the shell of the right earpad, which acts as a toggle switch. 4. Comes with a short cord in case the dongle won't fit in your unit's audio jack. CONS: 1. Sound quality is muddy. If you like rock music, you will not hear much of the cymbals or other high notes. It is fine if you listen to spoken voice. The stock earbuds with the Nano 2G are a little better than the Logitech, but with less bass. My Sony MDR-V6 closed-ear cans sound *exceptionally* good with my 2nd Gen Nano. I'll give the Logitech headphones many additional hours to break in, but I had hoped they would sound much better out of the box. 2. Headband is not adjustable and sits close to your neck.

This review is from: Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (Electronics) There aren't a lot of alternatives for decent bluetooth headphones. These are lightweight, sound pretty good (don't kid yourself, they're not audiophile quality but I was able to really rock out), and fit really well with an iPod - especially a nano. They use bluetooth 2.0 technology so they sound better than the old model. I got them for the gym, where wires and in-your-ear buds aren't so great. What i like is that the little dongle CAN be attached at the same time as my Nike+ dongle, so I have it all. It's a little awkward, with this thing hanging off the side, but in my pocket or sitting on the control panel of the treadmill, it really doesn't matter. The fit, or lack thereof, is the major drawback of these bad-boys. You kind of have to wonder how they got out of the design phase with such ill-fitting and uncomfortable earpads. The wire that goes behind the neck is too short to be worn high enough to avoid conflicting with a collar or a towel around...Read more 53 of 55 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (Electronics) I had the earlier version of the Logitech Bluetooth headphones - the one with the plastic headband. It broke after less than one week's use, which I discovered from Amazon.com reviews, was a common experience among users. I took it back to the store and got a refund.
My wife bought me the current version of FreePulse Wireless Headphones for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and the carbon steel headband has fixed the problem. The Bluetooth technology provides a good stereo signal, although there are occasional inexplicable dropouts of one or two seconds. The plastic loops that go over the tops of my ears are uncomfortable after a half-hour or so. The sound is good enough for my purposes - working at the computer or walking around - but these are not headphones for a serious audiophile. The big advantage, of course, is being free of those blasted wires. I can't count the number of times when I've had my headphones rudely yanked off my ears when the wires snagged...Read more |
