Wireless Earphones for iPhone?

Kneo · 08-09-2011, 01:42 PM

I listen to music constantly on my iPhone at work, at home and at the gym. I am currently using the set that came with the iphone but would like to upgrade. I really would like to get some wireless headphones.

Anyone have any suggestions?

You might want to check out bluetooth headphones.

I have an older set of motorola S9 bluetooth headphones that work great with my ipod, and phone. They will auto pause music when a call comes in and have a built in mic. Kind of bulky though..Sony ericsson has a nice set but I cant remember the model # of hand.

I was looking at the S9's and S10's. May have to try those out

I used to have a set of these that I worked out with all the time, they worked great.
This was many years ago and I am sure there are better ones out now.

I think those are the S10's. I was looking between those in the S9's

I haven't seen the S10's yet do they look like this?

I have the S9 that I've had for awhile now. I liked them when I used to work out. Took a bit of getting used to, but they worked out great.

Blak Smyth · 08-09-2011, 03:53 PM

I do remember some kind of an issue with them when a phone call would come through while listening to music. Can't remember in detail, something like the music would start playing through the phone speaker instead of shutting off or something. I kinda forgot about that little detail.

Angry_Pirate · 08-09-2011, 04:41 PM

I dont use my S9's any more and would trade them if your interested. They work great I just dont use them. The only downfall I found to these is if your laying on a bench say doing bench press they wrap aroun the back of your head so you have to adjust them.

I tried on a set of those but they don't fit well as I wear glasses. I use the wired sures... Great sound but the wire is annoying.

I have the S9 HD and they are great for listening to music. Not quite so good for talking on the phone because the microphone is so far away from your mouth -- you have to talk extra loud...

How are the wireless headphones on battery life of the phone? I don't use a bluetooth, and keep that function disabled on my iphone to extend battery life. I normally use a set of powered (AA cell) noise canceling plugs. Really great for air travel, even for lawn cutting, for canceling external noises. Any chance the bluetooth types do that? Just wondering, because the cord of mine is the shortfall also. Many times I put the cord and the battery case/volume control inside my shirt to keep it from snagging on just about everything. Not ideal when working outside, as I'm concerned moisture from sweat will eventually damage or kill the electronics.

CigarNut · 08-09-2011, 11:22 PM

Bluetooth does draw the phone battery down, but not as much as you might think.

Angry_Pirate · 08-10-2011, 02:42 AM

I used a bluetooth adapter with my Nano at the gym it really sucked the power from the ipod. I charged the headphones everyday after a 2 hour workout just so It wouldn't go dead on me while I was working out. Below is pics of the Sony Ericsson's bluetooth headphones I mentioned in an earlier post they are very compact. The other pic are of the Sony SONY MDR-AS50G that I currently use they seem to hold up well at the gym but they are wired.

Here is one Nokia makes that appears simmilar to the S9, it is a
Nokia BH-505 BH505 Stereo Bluetooth Headset Headphone:

Ebay Link

Here is a better looking design for working out due to electronics being located behind the ear as opposed to behind the head, but I have never seen it before
It is a OEM A Plantronics BackBeat 903 + Plus Bluetooth Headset:

Going to have to start looking through reviews

I have one of these by rocketfish. I use a bluetooth adapter for my ipod classic, but synchs right up to my phone or laptop. Built in mic for calls, great sound, battery lasts long enough for a 2 hour movie without recharging. I haven't had any problems and I use it almost daily.
