Best Bluetooth headphones for music
- Good sound quality
- Affordable
- Lightweight
- Some don't find them comfortable
- Bulky Bluetooth transmitter
- Artificial bass boost
Reviewers praise the Logitech FreePulse's sound quality and value. Despite their behind-the-ears style, they're lightweight. Comfort appears to be subjective with these headphones. Opinions on bass sound quality are mixed. Some feel it's weak, while others like it. The Logitech FreePulse sports a bass boost, but some think it produces an artificial sound. An included Bluetooth adapter plugs into the mini-headset jack of most home and portable stereo devices. The Plantronics Pulsar 590A headphones (*est. $115) also include a Bluetooth transmitter, but while sound quality and comfort are judged good, they're bulkier and more expensive than the FreePulse headphones.
You can find detailed reviews of the Logitech FreePulse in lots of places, and the ones at CNet.com, PC Magazine, PocketNow.com and Digital Trends are all worth a look. If you have a subscription, the British magazine Which? also has a review online that provides insight. Amazon.com is the best destination for reading user reviews.

CNet's Donald Bell approves of the Logitech FreePulse headphone's light weight, comfort and durability. He rates the sound quality, including bass, good for everyday use. Range is good, though he notes occasional split-second dropouts (common, he says, with Bluetooth headphones).

Jamie Lendino compares the Logitech FreePulse with Etymotic Research's ety8 (*est. $250) and finds music quality falls short. But this is understandable, given the price difference. Comfort was an issue, and Lendino complained of the bulky transmitter. Overall, Lendino says, these are good headphones for everyday listening with a decent battery life.

The editors at Which? magazine test the Logitech FreePulse headphones and rate them highly for their light weight and minimal sound leakage. Sound quality is average for wireless headphones. Though the Logitech FreePulse comes with multiple connectors to fit several different devices, the editors feel they're "a little fiddly to use."

Digital Trend's Justin Whitaker praises the Logitech FreePulse headphones' light weight and comfort, though he would have liked them to be more portable. He's disappointed with the bass-boost feature but says the headphones fare better in the mid and high ranges. Sound is clear even at 25 to 30 feet.

Jeffrey Swerdlow of Pocketnow.com gives the Logitech FreePulse headphones a high rating for value. He appreciates the light weight, although he notes some tightness (also noted by PC Magazine's Jamie Lendino). He says sound quality is excellent - despite unfairly comparing them with two wired headphones. Unlike other reviewers, he feels the bass boost helps a lot.

There are plenty of user reviews (more than 200) to give you a good idea of how the Logitech FreePulse headphones perform in the long run. Sound is generally rated highly, though comfort is subjective. A recurrent complaint among low-rated reviews is a short battery life, but draining the battery completely each time before recharging helps avoid this problem.
