Aqueya,

It has been a little while since I have used these headphones (my current media player does not use BT). My recollection, however, is that the battery is not removable or replaceable. That being said, I have no idea how many charges it can take.

Hi there.
Wow. this thread has been going for some time! I’m glad! I just picked up a set. They are charging, so I’ve yet to use them, but I am really excited, to be free from wires!!!

My question is, what to do when the batteries need replacing? what kind of batteries are in these babies? I guess by now many of you have had your headphones for a while, how is battery life holding up? I can’t find any battery related info on Logitechs site. i can’t even find this device in their support categories.

Well, thanks!
Great review!

I had a similar problem as my receiver suddenly stopped charging. The charging light would just start blinking when I plugged it into the charger, the headphones however kept charging as usual…

I don’t know how exactly I solved this issue, but by repeatedly trying to charge it (if the light started blinking right away I turned the receiver on while charging it which gave me a steady charging light for a few minutes before it started blinking again) and then using up whatever battery power it had got it suddenly started charging for longer and longer periods before the light started blinking, first 20 minutes, the next time 1 hour and after that it completed the charging cycle by turning of the charging light after a 2.5 hours full charge…

Good review! I’d just like to point out that the ear rings can be rotated for a better fit, and the headband can be bent wider or narrower so the unit sits more comfortably. Once I did this the comfort factor was considerably increased.

Also I’ve now had two headphone units crap out on me, to where they would no longer charge up - the first after about 2 months, the second after 6 months. Logitech was good about replacing the first one, I’ve not yet contacted them about the second as this just happened.

Dutchman,

Are you saying that when you plug the headphones into the charger, nothing happens? That sounds like a problem for which you should contact Logitech support.

Hi Doug,

In first I have to thank you (and bob) for the great review, esp. the pairing stuff witch is new for me, even though I noticed the blue/red flinking ledlight!
Even though your review was posted some months ago, i do want to mention something. When the batteries are getting low, the led will start to flash red and the sound is delaying (esp. when watching a movie on your pc or tv).
I can’t wait to test the pairing option, 2 bad that in some kind of way my headphone does not want to charge anymore… Did anyone had simular probs with the device? The reciever works well and still charges when I plug it in the adaptor. The headphone does nothing at the moment (batts low).

Preston. It sounds like you may need to charge the battery.

My headset only shows me a red dot no blue at all whats wrong with it may I ask?

Leon, I will try to help, but I am not sure I have enough information. In order to pair:
1. Put the headphones in pairing mode (red and blue lights will flash)

2. Put the device in pairing mode (sometimes you have to do this first)

3. The device should then find the headphones.

4. The passcode, if it asks for one is 0000

Hope this helps. If not, send a message using the contact form with more specific details about what you are doing and what the device is doing.

Kaankie, I have never used the Nokia 6120. That being said, it should be able to sync with anything that has Bluetooth.

If your Nokia does not have Bluetooth, then you should be able to connect it to the included dongle. The dongle will automatically transit to the headphones.

Hope this helps.

Does this earphones will work with my “Nokia 6120 Classic” phone? And if they will, do I need to attach the “dongle thing” to the phone??

Cheers and thanks in advance!

Sure. There is no reason they wouldn’t. The adaptor will work with anything that has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

I actually paired it with my cellphone and it asked for a password, so I got dissappointed and just entered 4 0’s for the heck of it and it worked. Can’t believe I guessed it right

Glad to hear you got it working. I can tell you that I have had considerable problems with almost every BT device I have paired with my computer. There is always some hidden problem or setting.

Hi dgoldring,

Thanks for you reply. Actually there was another problem with my bluetooth settings. I didnt turn have the AV Remote Control Service turned on and thats why it was giving that error.

hi dgoldring,
They finally got connected with my laptop. They were in the pairing mode before as well but what I figured out was that in my case while the computer is trying to connect with the headphones you have to press the power button on the headphones twice and it gets connected. Even though they are in the pairing mode you still have to press the power button twice. But this trick only works with some laptops coz I tried on another laptop and it got connected without doing that.

Thanks anyways for your help.

Hassan. Are you sure the headphones were in pairing mode? Hold the button until the light flashes red and blue.

hi,
I am trying to connect my logitech freepulse headphones with my Sony laptop as it has built in bluetooth. My laptop bluetooth searches the headphones but it doesn’t connect. It gives an error that “connection to remote device failed. please try again.” It doesn’t even ask me for the pass key.

Is there anything I need to download or anythin you can advice me on this?

Thanks
