    Bluetooth headphones – are they any good for digital media and gaming use?

    Bluetooth Plantronics Pulsair 590A

    Ohoooo! Time for a new PC hardware related blog. Nothing extreme though, just a pair of headphones. Basically, over the past year or so I changed quite a few headphones and I wasn’t 100% happy with any of them. I tried a few Logitech, I tried the Steel Series, Razer, Creative ones. I liked the Creative gaming headphones more or less, but still I wasn’t overly impressed. The reason of so many changes was that the majority of current headphones do press against my ears enough to cause discomfort from just a few hours of gameplay or music listening as I am wearing glasses. Lately I did also feel the need for wireless headphones, so I decided to see if Bluetooth headphones can fit my needs. As time wasn’t particularly something I was short of for the past few months, I did my home work well in researching what to buy. As they say – measure 7 times and cut once, and reading about the Plantronics 590A, seemed exactly what I needed – portability, long battery life with excellent sound specs – 20hz to 20Mhz.

    My main purpose was to be able to walk around the house and listen to music from my laptop, or media centre, get the same headphones with me and connect them to my HTC mobile, play games, use them for skype and occasionally conect them to TV if I need to, without bothering anyone around. Isn’t it too much you may ask? I am sure it is, but thanks to Bluetooth – it’s all possible.
