Regarding earbud type headphones - Are there any aftermarket tips designed to reduce isolation i.e. allow noise from the outside world in?
What do people think of Bluetooth headphones in general? In terms of audio quality/connection stability. I bought a pair of Urbanears Plattan wireless a year ago and I have to say the audio is pretty underwhelming in wireless mode, and walking with iPhone in jeans pocket is a no-no (audio cuts out). Pairing could also be a real faff and as a result they only ever had one charge and since the battery ran out I've always used the cable.
Any opinions on the new beatsx ones that are coming out and Apple's fancy new W1 chips? I know no one has used them yet but I'm wondering if anyone here has looked at the specs in any detail?
Has this wireless tech matured now and is it really worth dropping £150 cash on these things? Don't want to waste money for a second time but will happily jump on board if they live up to their promises.
