   Entering the new age of headphones  (12/4/2009 10:48 am)
      Filed under: Personal


I recently decided to try this whole Bluetooth headphone thing to get wireless headphones for my laptop and cell phone. The idea is simple enough: Have wireless headphones to listen to music and podcasts.

The worked without any effort on my cell phone, which I was mildly surprised by. The laptop, however, was another matter. Windows 7 would happily pretend to connect, only dropping the connection a minute later without any error message. I was only able to fix it by downloading some random driver off a sketchy website. Now for my big complaint: I understand the goal is to make the headphones small, but is it necessary to overload each and every button? Press the lock button to change the EQ settings, press and hold the lock button to lock, press the power button to stop playback, press and hold the power button to turn it off, press and hold the power button longer to enter pairing mode, etc, etc. It's crazy.
