Bluetooth transmitter can be used with any source with a headphone output
The bad:
Occasional dropouts
No playback controls
The bottomline:
Compared to the range of options out there for Bluetooth MP3 player headphones, the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones offer exceptional design and value.

not a bad set of headphones at all... I've had mine for a while. you do get some dropout, and you have to be careful that you don't leave the headphones in your bag - they have this nasty knack of turning themselves on! My button on the headphones is slightly knackered just because of this... battery life is ok, but not great.
Pros: - light
- good looking
- great sound and performance
- good distance!
Cons: - can be uncomfortable after time
- the silicon ear bits come off easily over time!!! Mine have fallen off and i've had to hunt them down more than once!
Worst headphones I've ever owned. A guy at work and myself bought them. His stopped working within 2 weeks and it took 8 weeks to get a replacement. By the time his replacement came, my headphones had stopped working. I got mine replaced under warranty, only to have them stop working again 2 months later. These headphones simply don't work.
Pros: Nothing that outweighs the cons.
Cons: They break. Very quickly. This product is a total lemon.
Great sound w/lots of deep bass and very lightweight to boot. Its very easy to power on and pair the headset to the transmitter. Comfortable and lightweight enough to wear for several hours at a time.
Cons: Headband can bump the back of your neck when you move your head up and down, dropouts occur sometimes but is acceptable for a BT headset, when used to watch videos there is a split-second audio delay that is noticeable (however if just listening to music it works fine).
MP3 players will come and go, but if you buy a good pair of headphones they should last you a lifetime — well, a good portion of it anyway. We name the headphones that rock our world.
The Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Cancelling Headphones may lighten the wallet, but they are a great option for frequent fliers and tetchy commuters who need superior noise cancellation.
The Klipsch Image X5 earphones are a bit of an investment, but they're worth it if you demand excellent audio quality and have had trouble with ear bud fit in the past.
Compared to the headphones bundled with Apple's iPhone 3G the MM 50s are light years ahead. Exceptional sounding bass and its affordable price tag make the MM 50 a great choice for replacing those dodgy Apple ear buds.
An excellent all-rounder, with good detail, a balanced, warm sound and superb comfort and fit. Deeper bass and brighter treble exists in competing models, but for almost all genres of music and in most listening environments, the SHE9850s will impress and for a good price.
MP3 players will come and go, but if you buy a good pair of headphones they should last you a lifetime — well, a good portion of it anyway. We name the headphones that rock our world.
Sex, drugs, rock-and-roll: our innocent children need to be sheltered from this unholy triumvirate of badness, and Philips is attempting to tackle the third evil in the line-up with its new range of child-safe headphones.
From noise-cancelling headphones to software tweaks, we show you how to get the most out of your music -- and highlight some must-have products for tune lovers.
Bluetooth audio is becoming more and more popular, but the sound quality it offers is less than stellar. Hopefully a new standard proposed by Open Interface will fix all that.

Pros: Lightweight, great sound, nice design.
Decent battery life, 6-7 hours.
Cons: Headband can bump the back of your neck when you move your head up and down, dropouts occur sometimes but is acceptable for a BT headset, when used to watch videos there is a split-second audio delay that is noticeable (however if just listening to music it works fine).
