Creative WP-300 Bluetooth Headphones Review

Got this yesterday at the PC Show. At $99, it is one of the cheapest stereo Bluetooth headphones around. While I'm not a fan of the styling, especially that gaudy Creative logo on the left side, I have to say the sound quality is pretty decent for a pair of bluetooth headphones. It certainly does not feel cheap at all, thanks to the rubberized coating and the plush ear cups. There are even play/pause, next/previous track and volume controls on the right ear cup.

Unfortunately there seems to be a slight hissing on the left earpiece on mine. Not sure if I got a faulty set but it's only audible when there is total silence in a movie or an audio book. When music is playing you can't hear it at all. A little digging online suggests that hissing is quite a common problem with regular wireless and Bluetooth headphones.

According to the guys at the booth, this offer will last only till June 12th, when the PC show ends. The decent sound and build quality, coupled with the very reasonable price, gives the more expensive Jaybird and Sennheiser Bluetooth headphones a run for their money.
