headphones with fantastic battery life, need recommendations

[steve2470]

Headphones = I prefer USB connection but I can get an adapter. I need a wireless pair, so that's crucial.

Fantastic battery life = preferably several hours. Right now I have a Sennheiser headset, which is very comfy but damn, every 1.5 to 2 hours on wireless, I have to recharge them. I'd rather have wireless all day long, but I'll get what I can.

They need to be comfy for all day wearing. So many headphones/headsets aren't so good in that category.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

1. Give me a couple days - I have 2 pair on order.

By wireless, do you mean cordless (uses cordless phone frequencies) or Bluetooth?

I've gone over to BT. The range is fine, and quality is fine. They're never going to be perfect, but I have tinnitus and some high end hearing loss, so I don't notice it. The headphones are primarily so the tinnitus doesn't make me crazy(er).

I just sent back a pair of Bludio hurricanes. Great battery life (20 hours? Long, anyway) but we have a heavy wifi system (10 devices I think?) and that specific pair was interfering with 2 devices and making them drop connection. I don't think that's common -- I have not seen any other complaints of that type. I found the hurricanes to be a bit pinchy, but I wear glasses and have little ears so also not uncommon. The sound was excellent. If anything, they were too loud -- I was consistently at the lowest possible volume.

Motorola S305s are good, but battery life is around 8 hours. That said, they are light, not pinchy, have good reproduction and controls. I've used several pair of generic over ear, back of neck; they have cheap and sturdy going for them, and run about 12 hours of battery life.

I've got two pair due in tomorrow to replace the Bludios. Not sure which I'll keep.

2. either cordless or BT, makes no difference to me

The Bludio Hurricanes sound great. I only have two devices on my wifi system. My ears are normal size for a tall guy with a large frame. I don't wear glasses usually.

20 hours sounds fantastic. First world problem, but recharging my headset every 2 hours is a PITA to me. So, maybe I should check out Bludio ?

3. My three recs

Bludio Hurricanes are great. They're also not pricey -- $35, I think.

These are the two due to arrive tomorrow.

I agree on the not charging every 90 minutes - first world, but still annoying. Do recall that li-on batteries only have a 900 cycle life, so plan on replacing either the battery (if possible) or the device every 2.5 years or so. Batteries are always going to be the point of failure.
