Title: Wireless headphones
Post by: Hak Foo on Sun, 23 October 2011, 16:00:28

What I want:

Over-the-ear headphones with some sort of wireless or bluetooth module so I don't need to be draping a cord to my MP3 player (yes, I said MP3 player, not iPod, not phone).

I assume it will have to come with the dongle for the player.  Since it's not an iPod (and may indeed be a PC at times), nothing dependent on a 30-pin dock ecosystem.

I'd prefer cheaper if possible-- like USD30 or less.  Also nothing Sony (they don't seem to respect their customers enough).

Anyone bought a pair and like it enough to reccomend?

I had a "Living Essentials" brand set that fit that category and price range.  Would not recommend it.  $30 is a bit of a low bar to find anything of decent quality if you're looking for wireless.  Cheap sets tend to break and need to be replaced (more $$) anyway.
