Hi guys!
I'm new to this site, and I hope you'll be able to help me out here (Sorry if this is the wrong forum...?).
As the title says, I'm looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones. I really, REALLY hate wires - more than I love great sound quality, so there you have it.
Previously I've owned a pair of Nokia BH-604 which I used for a couple of years. They were great! The sound quality was good enough for me, they were comfortable to wear and the battery lasted for ages, even after a couple of years use!
I've lost them now, though, so I really need a new pair.
Back then I paid around $120-$130 for them, and this time my budget lies around ~$200-$250.
I use them with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 if that matters) to listen to music. Using them to make calls is not important.
Here's what I'm looking for:
- Bluetooth with A2DP
- Over ear (You know, the same style as my old BH-604)
- Decent sound quality (Equal to or better than BH-604)
- Good battery life (I'm thinking around 15 hours or more)
I'd also really like if there is a 3.5mm jack cable included so I can use them when they're out of power as well. My old ones didn't have that, but this time I'll almost say it's a must.
I've been doing a bit of research myself, and it turns out that this is harder to find than I thought.. I've found something, though, and I'd like to hear your opinion on them if possible:
Philips SHB9001 - These are really cheap, and I love the design. So far my favourites within the price range, but I'm a bit afraid that it'll turn out they just suck?
Nokia BH-905i - Obviously a newer version of my old ones, so I'm sure they'll suite my needs perfectly. Only con is that they're a bit pricy (Almost twice as much as the Philips ones here in Denmark).
Sennheiser PX 360 BT - Looks great! But again, they're pretty expensive. But they are cheaper than the ones with microphone built in, and I like that I'm able to pay less if I don't need the microphone!
Sony DR-BT50- Are also a little expensive. They look great though.
Creative WP-300/350/450 - All of these are pretty cheap, and I've had good experiences with Creative. I'm not that fond of the design though - I think the earcups looks too small - they have to fit around my ears.
JBL Reference 610 - They are a little expensive, but still cheaper than some other I've found. I might consider these if people will recommend them.
Well, that's kinda what I've been able to find that seems to suit my needs.
I hope that you'll be able to give me some feedback on some of the above mentioned and/or suggest other models that you think might interest me I MIGHT be able to stretch my budget a little if necessary (That is, if the cheaper ones really suck).
Thank you!
