Product Description
Bluetooth isn''t just for cell phone headsets any more. The JBL 610 combines the sound quality of high-end headphone with the convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology. So now you can enjoy and control your music without wires and without digging your iPod out of your backpack or briefcase. Bluetooth is about making things easier, and JBL is about making things sound better. Together, well, maybe "paradigm shift" is too strong, but you get the idea.

I purchased these direct from Harman Kardon. I was worried because I have tried several Bluetooth headphones such as Logitech and Jabra.. I returned them both... for reasons of sound quality, fit, and issues with static or dropped signals. br / br /I've owned the JBL 610 (made by Harman Kardon FYI) for a week now. They are AWESOME! Here's why: br / br /1. They are designed for use with iPod's (4th Gen) and they work very well as they come with the needed Bluetooth adaptor for your iPod. br / br /2. Build quality is out standing. They feel sturdy and solid br / br /3. These headphones are super comfortable as I ahve worn them for hours on end. br / br /4. THIS IS HUGE... the controls on the JBL610's work flawlessly to not only navigate your iPod but they navigate Windows Media Player 11!!! I can skip songs, play pause and control volume all on the headphones without ever touching the computer. br / br /5. These headphones have no static, no dropping out (I run a ton of wireless stuff including WiFi, and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse) br / br /6. These head phones when used with the optional 3.5mm jack sound PHENOMENAL!!! Hi fidelity sound that's like having $1000 JBL's or Harman Kardon's strapped to your ears...(caution these things can play very loud) br / br /7. If you want to use them without the Bluetooth feature you can use the included wired cable to connect them to ANY audio device with a 3.5MM jack. So they are versatile... this comes in super handy when the batteries run out. br / br /8. Battery life is decent. I get about 16 hours out of them. br / br /9. They paired easily with my HP DV5t laptop... though windows vista doesn't make it clear how to set them up, here is some help: Make Vista auto-switch between Bluetooth audio and your normal soundcard when the Bluetooth headphones are switched off Go to Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Manage audio devices and Bluetooth audio is treated as two virtual soundcards with a single speaker output each - one for HSP and one for A2DP. If you can't see two Bluetooth 'soundcards' in the Playback tab, right-click and ensure that 'Show disabled devices' and 'Show disconnected devices' are both ticked. No sound will come out of your Bluetooth headphones until you set them as the default playback device even if they show as connected, so it's important to complete this step. Click the soundcard you want to use when your Bluetooth headset is disconnected and click Set Default then Apply. Then click Bluetooth Stereo Audio, Set Default and Apply again. Vista will handily remember the last default soundcard you chose, so that when your Bluetooth headset is disconnected, playback will automatically revert back to your normal soundcard. When your headset is reconnected, playback will automatically be redirected into it. This way, you don't have to keep changing the default playback device all the time. Bluetooth Stereo Audio and Bluetooth Hands-free Audio only appear in the Playback tab of this window when the headphones are connected. When you turn them off, the Bluetooth playback devices will disappear and the default will revert to your preferred soundcard. To get music to actually play via Bluetooth, you typically have to stop and restart the current track on your media player. In Winamp, pausing isn't good enough, you literally have to click Stop then Play to get the music to stream properly; this is because it will keep streaming into the normal default soundcard until it realizes the default has been changed. Some audio applications may require you to restart them altogether. (Source: http://www.djkaty.com/vista/bluetootha2dp vista has fixed much of the issues described in this article for new Bluetooth enabled PC's) br / br /Now for the CONS: br /1. Battery takes 3 hours to fully charge... br / br /2. As I mentioned in Wireless sound quality does not live up to the high fidelity that this brand of head phones demand... this isn't to fault them... as no Bluetooth headset can match Hi fidelity wired audio. (However, this is the only Bluetooth headphone I know of that can convert to using a wired 3.5mm jack.)
