Tech: Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Headphones for iPod

I finally purchased a pair of Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Headphones for iPod, for my iPod that is.

Everything arrived safely, as they normally do. The packaging had the iPod's infamous white color theme as you would expect.

Contents: A pair of headphones, a Bluetooth transmitter, AC charger, plus other miscellaneous stuffs like user manual and warranty information.

The 2 features which interest me most are the fact the it's wireless (via Bluetooth) and also the fact that it has navigation controls on the outer right side of the headphones, which means I can tuck away my iPod in my backpack and walk or cycle to class with just my headphones to take care of. The control buttons consist of: Volume (Up and Down), Next and Previous Track, and Play/Pause (the center round button with the Logitech logo on it).

To start using this, plug in the transmitter to the iPod, and the LED will start blinking red.

Next, press and hold the Play/Pause button on the headphones to establish a connection between the headphones and the transmitter. When it's connected, the LED would blink blue.

And the transmitter on the iPod would light up its LED with blue color. And you're all set and ready.

Surely everything has its pros and cons, pluses and minuses, whichever you prefer.
First of all, there's no Power button on both the headphones and the transmitter. It automatically turns off after being idle for a while. This can be convenient, not so for others. I agree with the latter. Without a power button, it means there'll be power wasted. Battery life is very important for gadgets like this and one wouldn't wanna waste some battery time just like that.

Also, the band of the headphones are reportedly easily breakable. Many have complained about the plastic band breaking/cracking easily in the middle. Read the Logitech forums for more info. Luckily it comes with a 2-year warranty. So even if it breaks, Logitech would replace it for you, like what they have done to many of its consumers.

It's a good experience to own one of this neat toy. What more to say two!
