CNET's Jasmine France reports on Logitech's announcement of its new FreePulse Wireless headphones, which use Bluetooth 2.0 Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) tech, and work with any MP3 player that has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
"Though built-in iPod control would have been a welcome feature for many users, I'm happy to see that the company went with a more universal design," France writes. "The headphones feature a flexible, high-carbon spring-steel headband (or, more appropriately, neckband), which makes them lighter (2.1 ounces, to be exact) and more durable than Logitech's first-generation wireless headphones. And there are ear loops built in to offer a more secure fit. The rechargeable batteries in both the headphones and the adapter are rated for more than six hours of playtime, which is about average for this type of product."
France got a chance to test the headphones -- she says she was impressed by the audio quality, but didn't like the open-style design. "Anyone within a few feet can hear what song you're rockin'," she writes. "Personally, this isn't my preference in headphones, but some people prefer the open sound it provides."
The headphones will be released in October at a suggested retail price of $99.99.
