We were quite impressed by Sony's first wireless headphones using Bluetooth technology, but felt they could be easier to use.
This newer model simplifies things, coming with a pre-paired transmitter that plugs into any universal-connector fitted iPod (including the iPhone).
These Sonys are also light, foldable, and feature on-ear iPod controls. A shame, then, that the sound suffers from hiss, harshness and sibilance.
