REVIEWS
CNET reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 7.3/10) and writes;
“The good: The Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones are remarkably light, flexible, and resilient. The sound quality is decent overall with an emphasis on bass. The Bluetooth transmitter can be used with any audio source that has a minijack headphone output. The bad: Troubleshooting possible Bluetooth connection problems can be a hassle compared to the reliability of hardwired headphones. Unlike previous Logitech designs, there are no playback controls on these headphones. The bottom line: Compared to the range of options out there for Bluetooth MP3 player headphones, the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones offer exceptional design and value.”

PCMag reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 3.5/5) and writes;
“I found the FreePulse’s sound quality essentially indistinguishable from that of the headphones that came with an old Sony Discman or Walkman. With the bass boost engaged, the low end is mostly mid- to upper bass with some punch, adding an artificial weight to the proceedings and giving an approximation of serious bass, but not the real thing. (Without the bass boost, they retain the boom but have no punch at all, so you’ll need it). The highs don’t reveal the air around instruments; the midrange is balanced and pleasant, but lacks detail. None of this will matter much in everyday listening, but it could frustrate audiophiles.”
PocketNow reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 4.5/5) and writes;
” So maybe you don’t hate cables as much as I do. Most people probably don’t. But, if you are the type of person who loves a Bluetooth headset for your mobile phone, you really should check out the FreePulse. It is just as liberating to free yourself from the cable between your iPod and headphones as it is to eliminate the cable between your phone and headset. Add on top of that excellent sound quality, easy of use and a great price and Logitech has a winner. Actually, I am quite enamored with the FreePulse… this is one of the best mobile products I have used in a long time. As long as the fit of the headphones is comfortable to you, you cannot go wrong here.”
DigitalTrends reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 7/10) and writes;
“Overall, the FreePulse wireless headphones are a viable alternative to wired headphones for general, everyday use. With 5+ hours between charges and clear, accurate music reproduction up to 30 feet from your music source, these headphones are an easy way to step into the mobile world of wireless music. However, in the $100 price range features such as a collapsible design for easy transport and some type of cancellation or noise blocking would have made these headphones an outstanding value.”
iLounge reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: B+) and writes;
“Pros: The first pair of iPod-ready headphones with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR wireless technology inside, effortlessly pairing an iPod-agnostic transmitter with a warm-balanced, good-sounding pair of over-the-ear headphones. Comfort, sound quality, and distance performance have all improved from last year’s model; very infrequent interruption of audio signal allows use from greater than 33-foot promised distances. Aggressive price for wireless headphones. Cons: Non-adjustable headset is “one-size-fits-some,” will not feel comfortable on smaller heads and will lead to fatigue after extended use on larger ones. Battery life has fallen to 6 promised hours of playback. No iPod controls on the headset; fairly large transmitter connects to iPod headphone ports and requires initial on-iPod volume calibration.”
RegHardware reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: B+) and writes;
“Logitech’s FreePulse wireless heaphones are a great way of enjoying music on the move without getting tangled in wires. Likewise they’re a splendid way of listening to sound sources that are too far away for a cable, like your TV, enabling you to watch in comfort without disturbing anyone else”
JustAnotherMobileMonday reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones and writes;
“The Logitech FreePulse has helped resolve the frustration I associate with spending hundreds of dollars on a new media player, only to find that my Bluetooth headphones will not connect to it. What is the point of spending so much money on an advanced media player and then plugging in cheap $10 headphones to hear tinny music over a backdrop of static. Thanks to Logitech and their FreePulse headphones, you will never have to learn the answer to that question. Logitech frees you to buy the media player of your dreams without fear of whether your headphones will work. So go ahead, head over to the iPod, Zune, Sansa, or Creative Zen store…just don’t tell your wife I sent you.”
ITReviews reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones and writes;
“These headphones boast good sound and build quality and they’re very flexible. You can wander around your house plugging them into anything (except the cat), or indeed take them jogging and avoid having a stupid trailing cable flapping around and annoying you. They’re impressively well designed except for one negative point; the comfort factor is questionable after wearing them for a while.”
CNET Australia reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones and writes;
“The design of the Logitech FreePulse Bluetooth Headphones is one of the better we’ve seen. In general, behind-the-neck headphone designs commonly suffer from placing an uncomfortable amount of weight or pressure on the ears. The FreePulse model manages to skirt this problem by using a lightweight, flexible carbon spring-steel wire inside a silicone headband. This resilient wire core also eliminates the problem Logitech has faced in the past with breakable plastic headbands.”
Laaudiofile reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones and writes;
“The FreePulse™ wireless headphones worked well with good range and few interruptions. Audio performance was impressive and the system offered more than adequate sound levels in typical settings. We used the FreePulse™ in real-world settings and found that it performs very well. The headset is not adjustable and is a one-fits-all design that actually requires the spring loaded band to sit on the back of your head instead of on top. The attached rubber ear clips keep the headset in place. Some may have issues with the headset design, so I would recommend trying it out first. The initial comfort and fit was not the best for me, but soon I forgot about it and enjoyed the music. Logitech has created a real winner here with a price that is easy to swallow.”
TrustedReviews reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 7/10)and writes;
“What this underlines is that Logitech’s FreePulse Wireless Headphones are really more of a convenience than a serious headphone solution. They’re great for tooling around with an MP3 player, and at times they’re useful for casual film watching and gaming, but beyond this they are limited. That said, if convenience is what you’re looking for then the FreePulse Wireless Headphones will serve you well.”
Techloop reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 8.75/10)and writes;
“Overall, users who are fond of the behind the head design and looking for a product like this, need to consider Logitech in your decision making. The sound quality is sure to please and the design isn’t too bad either.”
Modders-Inc reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: Recommended) and writes;
” Sure you could get better sound by using full-size headphones, but nothing in portable wireless especially for MP3 players until the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones. There are several minor things that annoyed me about these headphones, but nothing to make me want to go back to the “wire”. The design is small and power packed for music lovers with lots of features. The Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones are a great improvement from standard earbuds that come with most MP3 players.”
BlueTommorow reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: Recommended) and writes;
” I found the FreePulse Bluetooth headphones worked well at 20-to-25-feet away from my audio device when there was no interfering walls between them. Logitech says the FreePulse Wireless Headphones get a 33-foot range. They do not. After about 25 feet, the audio quality degrades and/or the audio skips, making the listening experience unpleasant. However, I didn’t find myself needing to be more than 20-feet away from my audio source at any time, so this didn’t bother me personally…Logitech’s FreePulse Bluetooth Headphones come a long way in providing an easy-to-use, private, wireless, listening experience that will sound good to most. The headphones have connection and range issues and their one-fit design will surely have many users grumbling. But we can certainly recommend these headphones to people who want to bring their audio device with them and not have to deal with routing wires from their pocket to their ears.”
VNunet reviews the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones (rating: 4/5) and writes;
“During a half-hour test period audio very occasionally dropped for around a second at a time. At one point, the transmitter actually turned itself off, which meant we had to pair the two devices before normal service was resumed. Logitech suggests you place the transmitter in a right-hand pocket since the receiver in the headset is located in the right earpiece, but when we experienced our sound outages the transmitter was placed on a table very close to the headset.”
