    @zerodeefex hope you'll share how they sound. If the BT implementation is decent I'm in for a pair too.

    $80 seems a bit steep though...

    @spwath - you are not going to get much cheaper for Bluetooth.

    @spwath @Cspirou Yep, the Beats Solo 3 Tyll mentioned the other day retail for around $199. And these should easily best the Beats in terms of SQ

    Not really any isolation though.

    @spwath sounds like these really aren't for you, amigo.

    I'm just kind of confused about who they are for? When would you need Bluetooth headphones with no isolation?

    Untethered portapros are legit but I realized they don't support AAC which is a huge miss. Apt-x alone is not ubiquitous. They should have either gone full Android and supported LDAC or full Apple and had AAC support.

    Not sure if you're heard the Porta Pro's, but imagine an HD650 but sounds decent from a smartphone and looks like an 80's hifi invention and doesn't block out sound when that would be problematic (around car traffic, need to hear coworkers, etc) and is cheap enough that someone with disposable income would consider the headphones essentially disposable. Value city, right?

    Now add Bluetooth and keep the price under a hunned. That's why it's an instabuy for some folks, even though it's not for everybody.

    A few other reasons you might want BT headphones with minimal/no isolation:

    * Your wife gets pissed when she holla and you don't respond

    * You walk outside for exercise (crazy, I know) and want a few seconds to hear them coming and say goodbye-cruel-world before a crazy motorist mows you down
    * You'd rather hear music than coworkers inane shittalking but actually do need to hear them when they holla for you

    I'm really sad about the missed AAC. I don't expect LDAC on everything but no AAC is a dealbreaker

    Makes sense. I only listen: in my dorm, in the library, or in the gym. In dorm I use hd650, library my ca Orion's, gym some cheap iems. I guess I have no use for them. I had the ksc75, and they sounded great. Apparently similar to porta pro.

    My main reason to get wireless is for the 65" Samsung flatscreen we have. For a variety of reasons I can't really watch my TV/Movies until the kids sleep, at which point I can't use speakers. I could watch on my Computer/iPhone/tablet, but sometimes I really want to watch on a large screen. Transferring my rig to the TV and back is a pain, so wireless is the best option.

    @Cspirou the avegant glyph is quite good for the "bit screen anywhere" use case.

    @zerodeefex - thanks! I'll read up on it. I see they are $200 on Newegg right now

    @Cspirou that is the right price. More would be too much given the limitations. If you do pick one up, experiment with ALL the nose pieces and settings then take a while to dial in each eye. Once it's set up it's like a portable projector beaming into your retinas.
