I have never used Blutooth on my PC. My latest build has a bluetooth adapter (V4.0/3.0 + HS). I thought I might get a set of Bluetooth stereo headphones for music. But I am kind of Baffeled by the choices. What am I looking for?"

Although I don't use a bluetooth headset I do use a wireless headset and although sound quality is very important, comfort is even more so.

An ill-fitting headset when worn for any length of time can hurt your ears, so a pair that fits well would be very high on my list.

This.


I have a Motorola Rokr behind-the-head bluetooth headset that gets very uncomfortable after 45 minutes or so. Sounds great, just can't wear it for very long at a time.

Also, it's not very good as a hands-free device such as for team chat while gaming. It switches to a lo-fi sound profile whereas music is a hi-fi profile.
