It's so nice to have wireless headphones even without the cool factor you could think of it as insurance.

How many times have you walked off with your headphones forgetting you're wearing them and knock your ipod/phone onto the ground? NEVERMORE! now you will just walk out of range worst case scenario.

I've owned two pairs. Only because I *LOST* the first pair. These are great, sound quality is great, they're just great with a side of great. Especially at this price.

Get them. NOW!

I got two or three of these the last time they were offered and I've not been disappointed.

It's true that they can put the squeeze on your head if you have a large enough head AND wear them for too long without a break, but they come in very handy for my big skull - especially in the fitness room.

Often people don't even realize that I'm wearing them, so don't worry much about the dork factor.

Will these work with PS3? Watching TV at night while my girl friend sleeps. These would be great.

They are great sounding headphones, but the little buds on these ones fall off easy. Have lost several now, so my wife and I have to go into each other's set to get replacements.

Soon, we will have to start using different sizes than what we feel comfortable with if we don't stop losing them. I have started to take them off and put them in my pocket while not using them, in fear of losing anymore.

+1 These headphones are awesome. You have to pick the proper size gel so they don't start to really hurt your ears after a while, if your ears are like mine anyway. Sadly, I paid full price for my pair a little over a year ago and use them EVERY DAY.

Work great with my Transformer tablet, G2E4gTouch, and even my POS crapple crypod. Recommend 100%, especially at this price, even if they are refurb r0xx0rs..

I have actually been looking for bluetooth headphones so this is a well timed woot for me, but how comfortable are these on the ears? I have a very difficult time wearing earbuds so anything that fits inside the ears is a concern for me.

I can't speak to this specific model, but bluetooth headphones in general ROcK IM(ns)HO!

The ones I have were a woot item a few years back and go "over" the ears, I'd definitely prefer these based on form-factor.

Being able to kick off my playlist and put the phone in my pocket without worrying about wires getting tangled, pulling the buds out of my ears etc really helps.

I use them every time I go to the gym - it makes it much easier on the elliptical, rower, even the weight-machines without the hassle of the wires.

A 33-foot range is good too - most could leave the phone/ipod/etc on a desk or windowsill and move all over the room without a problem.

Unless there's something really bad about this model, I'd have to say this is a pretty screaming deal.

My only concern would be the size - how hard would it be to carry this around when not using it?

My little round 'phones with the wire connecting them together rolls up and fits into a pouch smaller than a pack of smokes including the USB charger and cable.

This looks like it would not fit in a pocket, but probably comes with a suitable case to protect them when they're not being worn...

I guess they'd be no worse than an average set of mini headphones...

Hope this helps someone...

I am the same way. There are several different sizes that come with the headset, and none of them were an amazing fit in my opinion. There was one that I settled with, and have learned to love (as long as I don't lose them, haha).

A heat-gun, carefully applied, would soften the plastic just enough to let you spread them a smidge and eliminate the "squeeze"...

I've done this with a number of items from shooters' earmuffs to some similarly-shaped, wired 'phones...

I have been searching for a long time for a good bluetooth headphone for my gym workout...I got these the last time they had them on woot and absolutely love them! so far no complaints at all...I'm tempted to get another pair for an early xmas present for a friend

For $10 more buy the Plantronics pair @ Fry's & they are new! Backbeat 903+. Picked an extra set up today for $39.99 incase I ever lose my original set I have had for over 1.5yrs.

I personally have listened to this motorola set my friend has & wasn't impressed w/ the sound quality of the phone call or the music compared w/ the Backbeat series... jmho.

Plus, the motorola set is found refurbished cheap everywhere - can we really say this is a quality set? Plus how long does a refurbished battery last?

I'd love to get any feedback on the product video thingy on the home page. It's a fair bit of work, but I think it might be worth it with weird shaped stuff like this. Whaddya think?

quality posts: 702 Private Messages CowboyDann

Wow!
Woot sold over 12,000 of these last time they were up for sale.
They also sold out before Lunch Time!

Anyways, there's the previous woot where there were nearly 300 comments about these headphones. It looks like these aren't that great, just kind of middle of the road headphones. maybe even marginally worse than that.

These are awesome. I've owned two pair. the first pair I left in the sun and they stopped working after that. The second pair I've owned for 1 1/2 years and I paid $80 for it. This is a great deal

I saw it and was like "What is this?" then I watched it. It was pretty amazing and I think did a better job of showing the shape of these than the pictures.

I've been using BT headphones for about 5 years with a moto RIZR, Samsung mp3 player and my Nokia 5800. Oh and with 2 different BT dongles that plugged into my old mp3 player. Clearly I like the idea of using BT stereo on the gym but it's not without problems. *Every* combination I've tried so far will occasionally (or not so occasionally) loose the connection. While annoying in itself the real problem is that the audio catches up when it reconnects. So all of a sudden the speed and pitch of your music changes.

Strangely enough these headsets seem to work best indoors with lots of metal around (gym). Walk outside and the connection drops. I've stopped trying to make it work while jogging.

The controls on these headsets are great. Keep the player in your pocket and use the buttons to skip, pause, play and adjust volume.

Most people are oblivious to what's going on around them anyway so few will notice there are no wires on your headphones. And what if they did?

I've owned a set of headphones like this one, I think the sd90 or something like it. Moto made several models that look like this. It's no worse or better than the others I've tried.

For HiFi stereo, use a wired headphone. For convenience in the gym these are hard to beat.

I bought a set of these last go-round. The sounds quality is amazing and it comes with about 8 different earbud sizes, that being said. They really start to hurt your ears after about 2 hours, the battery life isn't all that amazing, and the forward button does not work with my Atrix, because it keeps opening media Player for some stupid reason and playing that play list instead of Spotify, criticism aside, I'm still glad I bought them, just wish they were more comfortable.

I have a pair of these collecting dust. Sound quality is average compared to "real" headphones, but, honestly if I were that concerned about sound quality I wouldn't be using A2DP anyway.

They are just so absurdly uncomfortable to me that I can't use them for more than minutes at a time. Imagine a vice pinching your ears.

Got LG Tones instead (though they are more expensive than this) and between the features and comfort I love them 100 times more.

It's been 20 years, I am going to copy that floppy.

Oh also, if someone calls you, it does have a mic and with act as a bluetooth headset during the call.

Thanks for posting this, the comments were actually pretty helpful. I was thinking about getting a set and then I saw this post:

I own a pair. They are painful to use if you wear glasses. Not only that, they move your glasses around every time you move your head in the slightest. DO NOT purchase if you wear glasses, or even plan on wearing a hat.

my Frys shows the BAckbeat 903+ at $79.99

$39.99 must have been a special sale

Cool, thanks. We'd love to get it in place of the product photo eventually, but I wanted to just test this out right away.

If you sweat a lot watch out. I went through two of these. The first was a warranty replacement. Gave up on the second one since the original warranty went out.

If you don't sweat, these are great sounding bluetooth headphones.

I like the idea behind these but I must say they are very uncomfortable for me after about 20 minutes. Also, I have never been able to get them to fit in my ears properly. I've tried all the ear pieces, none worked. The sound quality is pretty sub par as well. In the end, the only advantage with these over a good pair of ear buds is that it's wireless. Good deal though price wise if you've been wanting to try them.

Got this last time this was on Woot, for my wife. She was skeptical as she's very picky about headphones, but she quickly adapted.

Don't be put off by the refurbished - they looked completely new, other than packaging, and the rubber ear pieces were most definitely new.

haha I'm not the grand master of these things, but I'm more than happy to try and help you find an answer.

Okay: If your TV is bluetooth ready, you're good to go. Otherwise the adapter is probably more expensive than you're willing to pay, and not going to be worth it. I hope I could help!

Not a bad video. Maybe putting it on a mannequin head to show how it fits would also help.

I got these last time woot offered them, and they are insanely uncomfortable. Painful after 5-10 minutes. They definitely sound good once you JAM those little rubber things into your ears, but they hurt so bad I went right on back to wired headphones. I haven't used these in months.

At first I thought they sounded horrible, until I realized you really have to cram the earbud pieces down inside your ear.

My older Motorola Bluetooth headphones just died TODAY so this couldn't be better timed. I liked the old ones a lot but they just had too much sweat dripping on them over the years and finally gave out, they won't turn on. I've used the for running a couple times a week for several years so I feel like they lasted as long as they should.
