I love my iPod, but I hate those stupid wires attaching it to my head when I’m at the gym. I have to be careful around the weight equipment or I end up getting them caught and having the headphones yanked out of my ears. That’s why I would love to have something like the Plantronics Pulsar 590A wireless headset.
According to the manufacturer’s site, the headphones work with cell phones (I could care less about that aspect… I don’t call people in the middle of my bench press routine) and mp3 players (now that’s what I’m talking about). For those who want to know where else they can use the wireless headset, it also works with laptops, tvs, DVD players, etc. so you wouldn’t need to dedicate them to gym use.
I think something like this would be good for runners, walkers, and anyone who works out with their iPods or other mp3 players as well as body builders (I just know that the weight room is the only place those wires have really bugged me). Unfortunately, the price for the Pulsar 590a is $250, which means I probably won’t be getting a pair. That’s a little too much for something I might break at the gym. It might be worth the investment if you like to roam around the house while you talk and listen though.
