Best deal I seen for these, unless I'm wrong.
These also come with a 3.5mm plug-in Bluetooth adapter so, even if your MP3 player or PC or what doesn't have BT, you can plug it in and rock on. Also these features a built in Microphone so you can even use it for making phone calls and from reviews, it supposed to work with Skype just as fine. I'm mainly going to be using it for gaming since I keep pulling my plugs out.

 

Product Description from Soyo's site. Soyo's Product Page
Soyo's Website said:Enjoy your TV, Radio, Computer, DVD Player, CD Player, Cell Phone, MP3 Player or iPod Player and listen privately without being tied to your device with wires! SOYO FreeStyler™HS11 Bluetooth wireless stereo headphone with wireless Bluetooth transmitter is the perfect solution. Just connect the transmitter to any device (TV, Radio, Computer, DVD Player, CD Player, Cell Phone, MP3 Player or iPod Player) with a mini stereo output jack and you are ready to go. It is as easy as just pluging it in, then sync the transmitter to the stereo headphones and start listening. When you use SOYO FreeStyler™ HS11, it can also be at standby for answering incoming phone calls, and once the call is finished, it will switch back to the headphone function automatically. So you can use it while you are relaxing at home, strolling in the park, or running on your treadmill, never need to worry about missing a cellular phone call. Moreover, you can use the FreeStyler™ HS11 headphone to remote control the music playing functions of your Bluetooth device if it supports Bluetooth AVRCP. (*Audio device comes with audio jack)

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS, that first picture makes it look bad.

OP thinks it's nice if you give him greens for that t-shirt he's so wanting.

How do would these sound with games though? Probably not too well, right?

Also curious about the sound quality...Anyone ever used it?

Perhaps a dumb question here, but why do this 'bluetooth' headset have wires? Isn't the whole purpose of bluetooth headset to avoid the wires? I was tempted to jump in on this until I saw the picture on Soyo's site.

The wire you see is for the bluetooth stereo transmitter. The wire is connected to your computer or other device that doesn't have bluetooth built in. The headset is an over the ear type so if it looks like there are wires on the headset, those "wires" are the over the ear loops.

From the reviews for it, it said it was tinny or something like that, for highs in music.


I tend to use my 5.1 Speakers for daytime then switching to Headphone when it's nighttime, though I'm always wearing my headphones since it has my Microphone (just wearing it around my neck so I can use my mic). I tend to forget I'm wearing it sometimes and that results pulled wires when I run out to do something.
I'm mainly betting on this for nighttime game, since I only use headphone either at nighttime or LANs. Though I do have a eNV [LG VX9900] that support the features offered by this, the other cheapest Bluetooth headset, is that Logitech one, though it doesn't have a microphone and it's about 100 dollars, as much as I like Logitech.

The wire on the ear parts connect to the other Stero set.

The Box with the wire is for enabling devices without Bluetooth to use the BT headset.

So anyone else think this deal is good like I did?

Thats exactly what I need them for. Night time/Early morning use so I don't disturb anyone sleeping. I already have two pairs of Sennheisers and one is wireless but they are a lot bulkier than these SOYOs. I know these wont sound as good as my headphones but I dont want them to sound like trash either.

Awesome sound quality and decent volume. I got mine from woot.com
Took a while to get them but worth the wait. Works perfect with my lg-ux380 cell phone.
Have not tried with pc yet. mentions blue soleil software allows music from pc with remote control.
I will post back results.

Comes with extra pads & carrying case...

They sound as good as any other headphones. However they don't offer or include up to date USB drivers. Vista will play with BlueSoliel software but the shareware only will transmit 2mb of data to them, and then you have to register the software for an additional $30.00 us, which is more than the cost of the headphones. Not worth it, unless you play games on your HDTV and need/want freedom, use wireless game controller. My USB dongle is too old to have decent drivers.
The ones that came with it do not offer stereo playback, also buggy, and echos etc. Not very good.

I have a pair of old Advent 800Mhz wireless and these sound nearly as good, and much smaller, lighter and with a cell phone you get better controls. However I only paid 0.25 for the advent plus $10.00 for a pair of AA rechargable batteries (which is why they got rid of them so cheaply) at a yard sale. I work overnights and so they are ideal for use with my cell phone/mp3 player.

The wire hooks the left and right phones together. No wires to the cell phone..

OTOH you could just hook the transmitter to the output of your sound card if you want to use them for gaming.
