Any of you guys checked out the Sennheiser MB 660? I just got them today for review and so far they seem really promising.

hey guys,
 
im looking for bluetooth headphones like the audio technica ATH-SR5BT
i would get them for 160€ (which is ~$170) here in Austria.
 
But i am not sure about the sound signature. I have akg k701 which i think have  a very balanced, neutral sound signature. And i have IEM xiaomi pistons hybrid which are a bit v-shaped, but sound also very well. So probably i want a sound signature between this two.
 
what are my options, do you know headphones in the same pricerange as ATH-SR5BT that would fit my descriptons ?
 
i want a portable headphone so i guess an on-ear headphone would be best and i want to have at least 15h battery life. optional but would be nice: apt-x,foldable
 
if there are no candidates in this pricerange i can also raise my budget but i would prefer when i do not have to
 
thanks in advance and greetings from Vienna

Here's another thread to try in case you haven't discovered it already:

You'll probably find a little more action there.

Hey guys, I have a set of Sony MDR1-ABT headphone and was interested in selling the Sonys and buying something with a more open sound stage. Any suggestions. I listen to all types of music but lately rock has been my favorite.

@Diablito - there are no open-backed BT cans as far as I know but just a thought is to grab a aptX Rx (this particular one has an amp) and then pair it with your fav open cans:

Con's is that the battery life is a little on the short side (~3.5 - 5hrs) but no BT cans will beat this for sound stage
 
For a pure BT can, the Pendulumic Stance S1+ had one of the better sound stage I've experienced for closed cans.

Hi, I am also looking for good bluetooth headphones. I own Plantronics backbeat sens and whilst no spectacular they are very comfortable and musically sounding headphones. Not good for techno or electronic or anything hard hitting but fabulous for musical enjoyment. I also own a pair of audio technica ath sr5bt. In bluetooth mode they are very analytical and a bit harsh but in wired mode they improve significantly. That was why I bought them so them in that they had acceptable bluetooth mode but very good in wired mode. I am also looking at harmon Kardon BT in the quest to find a good bluetooth headphone but you will not be disappointed with Plantronics if you are not a basshead and you just want to enjoy the music. I would thing that the plantronics backbeat pro 2 woyuld be very good also if they hav ethe same sound signature.

Somewhere, I believe, in this impossibly long thread I inquired about Bluetooth phones. Perhaps around two years ago. What I finally purchased was a Jabra Evolve 75 UC headset. Setup was a little rough but they exceed my expectations. Primary purpose was communication but I chose them also for games and music.

They just came this afternoon so I am far from a review, but the initial impressions (after much pain) are positive. The comfort is amazing as is the active noise cancellation. I have them paired both to the computer and an iPad. Part of the pain was that I had paired first to the computer. The Evolve 75's can pair to two devices, but with them paired to the PC nothing I could do would make them pair to an iPad. I tried two different iPad's.

But once the Evolve 75's were unpaired from the PC they paired immediately with an iPad and then paired again to the PC. The battery charging works well but does not work as documented. The Evolve 75's have been out only two months and clearly have some growing pains.

Wearing cordless headphones of this quality feels unreal. Really. Depending where I am in my apartment there are dropouts. I don't find this a major problem. As I said, the main purpose is communication. I have yet to test the microphone.

I have a Jabra evolve 75, and got it mainly for communication. I can take calls inside trains, crowded restaurants, literally anywhere, and hear everyone clearly while others can hear me with minimal background noise. Sound quality wise they are decent. They'll beat anything in the sub $30 range but as music only headphones, there are plenty of $100 options that are better. But nothing comes close to it's mic. It's the best period.
