HP Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

 (11 customer reviews)

As an hp employee who's been looking for more features than the world-renowned Bose headphones provides, I was thrilled when I discovered that HP not only made noise-canceling headphones, but that they had all the other features I wanted in such a device.

Granted, it costs a fraction of what the Bose headphones cost, and you get what you pay for...but if you're counting on customer service when the cheap plastic breaks, you get even less.

After only two months of use, the black plastic band that fits over your head started cracking, making the device not only impossibly uncomfortable (instead of a semicircle over your head, think of a sharp 'M' shaped piece of jagged plastic stabbing your scalp), but threatening to break completely with more use thereby becoming completely unusable.

Of course they claim it's not under warranty and, well, what are you going to do? Buy another one, they suggested, after 5 hours on the phone with a support agent somewhere...Read more

I bought these for use with my laptop and cell phone. I was hoping I could use these to stream music while working and be able to take/make calls. It does come with a 3.5mm audio streamer, which is nice, but the lack of cell phone support for calls (headset profile) makes these a non-starter for me.

Build quality is good for the price. These are on ear headphones and comfort is above average. Noise cancellation is basic...I'd put it at 50%. Bose is still the best I've tried for noise cancellation, but they only have a wired option today.

I've ordered the Sennheiser MM550's which are supposed to do it all. Noise cancellation, bluetooth stereo, bluetooth calling, wired option for when bluetooth isn't an option and an optional bluetooth audio streamer...only drawback is they are 10x these HPs.

I'd recommend these if all you want is bluetooth stereo and you want to stay under a hundred.

I paid $80 for these headphones. I got them for the wireless ability because I have way to many wires around my computer. After 3 weeks the cheap plastic head band broke in half. Later on I opend up the headphones and discoverd that the way they were designed is outragesly stupid (common sence here!). The wires are all in a clump and also when you ajust the headband you will disturb the wire and after so long (if you manage to keep the band together) the wire is compleatly shreded, wich is hazerdos due to electrical shock. If you are considering these headphones, dont. If you don't really need wireless ability, get Sony instead
Don't get me wrong, the HP's are good but the design is bad.
