Sony Announces Three New Bluetooth Headphones

7 hours of battery life, so if you're on a flight longer than that, too bad I guess.

Reason 381938719 why removing the headphone jack is stupid.

Aren't all of the reasons based on the same one? I think you'll have to get over it... Spilt milk and all that.

If Apple don't have a compelling wireless earphone selection I'm going to get the bose soundsport ones today I reckon.

This is wireless with wires....try WIRELESS with no wires connected to each other.

Why would you throw these away, specifically after 2 years?

My current Bluetooth pair - Jaybird Bluebuds X - are over 2 years old ans still trucking along fine.

Mine typically last about a year and a half, and that last half year is one of those "uggg... I better not use them, or else I'll have to charge them" kind of things. I do use them about 8-12 hours per day at work, as they keep the office conversation about who will win the latest whatever, and how that will doom the world (yes, I'm talking about the NFL here), and other inanities down to just 2 seconds between songs.

I just worry what's between the receiver and the transmitter.

Ah ok, yeah I mostly use Bluetooth when the wires would be a pain (running, cycling, train/plane/car passenger journeys, when out and about walking). At work when at my desk it's wired.

Hopefully with the push for Bluetooth headsets we start seeing some options with user replaceable batteries for heavy users like yourself.

I received a pair of wired bluetooth headphones 2 years ago, and the battery just died last week. I can't imagine using my phone with any other kind of headphones anymore. They stay around your neck when not in use, and you pop one in for a call, two if you need to isolate yourself. Talk some and then leave them hanging on my neck. With separate, truly wireless headphones you will have to think about them all the time, and the point of having these is to actually make life easier, not harder.
