Was really looking forward to these but they are going back
By Terrence J. Gold on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014
Pros:- When plugged in, sound is very impressive- Solid Build- Good ControlsThe bad:- Pairs to iphone no problem. Pairs to my Windows 7 PC no problem,. Except driver install for PC fails and no sound comes out. Logitech has no documentation on their site, no driver to manually install, totally disappointing (can't work with Windows 7?)- Bluetooth sound on iphone is good, but not worth more than a decent much cheaper headset.- Hissing noise everyone talks about - its real. I mainly hear it between tracks, not when music is playing. Although, if you are listening to some types of music, i can see where this would come through and be very annoying.- Headband. It seems to weigh down on the top of my head big time, and also wants to slide off the back of my head.Overall, this was a nice attempt but doesnt seem like they tested the design well enough. From a Bluetooth aspect, not worth the price by a longshot. Without Bluetooth, go buy the 6000 version or Dre's. Bummed, really wanted these to work out.UPDATE after about two months of use:- Logitech support helped me fix the bluetooth issues. Now it connects no problem everytime i turn it on.- As for the sound. My girlfriend got a pair of the newer version Dr Dre's (BT over the ear). They are really good, quality build, sound great, would be happy with them to tell you the truth. They are more portable as they fold up. But if you aren't really caring too much about the portability factor, like me, the Logitech's have a noticable depth and richness as compared to the Dre's. Dre's are really good an if weren't comparing both side by side wouldn't notice.- Now as to quality between plugged in verses bluetooth. Truthfully, my quality on BT method is outstanding. Rich, deep, quality, no static, nothing. So perhaps it is dependent upon the BT stack that is installed on each machine. I am using a USB medialink i got from Amazon for like 18 dollars. So it is not a matter of cost.- Rechargable battery is so good. I have an extra long USB extension (again amazon brand) and charge when listening if needed, but that only happens when i have really long sessions since i do alot of research and writing. I would say i get a solid 8-10 hours out of a charge and only takes a little bit to charge it back up, while listening if needed.I would highly recommend these and worth not giving up on getting it working. I prefer them over the Dre's but that is personal taste (they were really high quality and sounded great) but prefer depth with bass at the sacrifice of portability as i am using these at my desk or put into my backpack. If i was getting on a plane, would rather have the Dre's.

Mixed Bag
By BigHurtUW on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014
I wanted to so badly to like these headphones. Top-end technology for under $300 - bluetooth, noise-cancelling, USB-charging, it's everything a technophile would want in a pair of cans (only thing I saw that made me drool more was the Parrot Ziks, but those are obscenely pricey). Reviews were pretty good, so I gave them a chance. Unfortunately, they just weren't good enough to justify that much money. Gave them almost 2 weeks, and here's what I noticed.PROS:- Bluetooth works great. I listened to my iPhone while wandering all over the house.- Sound quality isn't bad. Muffled at times, but good enough.- Ear cups are fairly comfortable- Removable cable is a nice touch- USB charging is great - you can listen while it charges- Case is very nice- Design is unique and attractiveCONS:- The hissing sound mentioned in other reviews is more prominent than I expected. With noise-cancelling on, it's audible with movies and almost loud with no silence. With louder music (rock, rap, etc.), the hissing is barely audible.- The headband isn't cushioned, so these became uncomfortable after a couple of hours on a plane.- The noise-cancelling works, but not nearly as well as other headphones (i.e. Bose). Drowned out most of the airplane drone, but not even close to completely gone.- Even after the price has gone down (bought them at about $290), the quality just isn't quite up to snuff.These are nice headphones, and at about $200 I would have kept them for sure. But they just don't live up to their price point. Hopefully Logitech can clean up the details and come out with a new pair because they have a ton of potential.
