The FreePulse Wireless headphones are half the weight (only 2.1 ounces/60 grams) and size of Logitech´s award-winning first-generation product — but, they are more flexible and durable, thanks to the high-carbon spring-steel headband. The new version delivers twice the performance as well as enhanced bass with its special bass boost feature. And it offers improved wireless performance with Bluetooth® 2.0 Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) wireless technology. People can simply plug in the adapter to any player with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, put their player in their pocket and enjoy their music wirelessly. No more cord tangles, snags or kinks."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/Freepulse_with_adapter.jpg" /><br /><br />I'd like to hear from Digital Media Thoughts readers that have Bluetooth headphones - I've never used a pair before, largely because I strongly prefer the in-ear headphones. Do most Bluetooth headphones sound decent, or does it vary widely based on brand? Anyone own the previous version of this Logitech product?

As one who uses the likes of grado 80's and sennheiser 280 pros, I dont think I could get into these much. ;)

I had the prior version. They sounded great. I frigging LOVED them.

Then it happened.

Just like everyone else who panned them, the headband snapped in half.

DAMMIT.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to these. The band is wrapped steel now. Guess they read the feedback :-)

I have Motorola HT820 BT headset and although I'm no authority on how good the sound is, it's just fine for me.
The convenience of having no wires on the other hand is simply awsome...

Definitely looking forward to these. They look more sturdy than the previous iteration.
