    I never get these bluetooth headphones.

    'Free from wires'? All I see is wires.

      Well I think I get it. Technically, yes there are 'wires' between the ear-pods, but this is just a substitute for a solid frame. I think the style just depends on personal preference.
      Quality is another issue entirely. But, I was after a set of this 'style' of BT earphones - so for me, they're cheap enough for me to give them a try (I would not have paid $69 though!)
      I want these to listen to audiobooks (not music) so sound quality is not as big an issue. I'm more concerned about build quality.

      Wow, these look exactly like my Plantronics Backbeat Go 2.

      The wire allows the headphone to reduce in size because you do not want to have a radio in each ear to talk back to your MP3 device.

      The Plantronics Backbeat go 2 is very durable, they run with me in the rain, covered in sweat, out in the sun.

      Yeah I don;t know about Kogan branded stuff, it seems they like to take 5 bucks chinese products and selling them as if they are the legit stuff.

      • Plantronics pair has awesome sound quality plus is waterproof, would not expect the same from these

      • They look nothing like them .. apart from both having two earbuds and a cable between them

        • are you high
          or are you actually talking about the head set having a deeper developed soul that also represents what it 'is'?

          @phor8:

          and you're calling me high?

      wireless charging - wires connected to the wall
      keyless entry - button on keys
      wifi (wireless internet) - wires connected to wall and phone socket

  • A colleague of mine bought some last time they were on special and loves them. Great for the office and even when he's out riding.
    I've just ordered some based on his feedback.

    • The Frequency Response (Frequency Response: 100Hz-9000Hz) on the Kogans worries me the most. That's not much.

      • That's the mic :D

        The speakers are up to 16kHz

  • Where is the best place to buy Plantronics (best price)?

  • I threw mine out after a week — average listen time and felt very uncomfortable around the neck - hit up a pair of bluebuds x or another decent bluetooth headset

    • You talking the Kogan set or the Plantronics?
