The ultimate detailing headphones...

There are various wireless headphones out there right now for cheap. They are nothing like the ones you posted but they sync up to my cell phone via Bluetooth and are very effective for music listening.

I currently have the jbl j46bt's, there nice but still have some kind of cord to each other. The performance is awesome. However like I said these are on a whole new level, plus the waterproofing really does it.
 
I say No to Detailing with headphones... :)

Would rather have a good 5-channel system on top of the long line of garage cabinets playing music in the background softly, or listening to the Formula-1 race I missed last Sunday...

Im getting paid good money to put my full attention on a vehicle and not have to split my brain up to do more than 2 things at once already..

Would you want to have someone entrusted with one of your most valuable possessions and only give you about (insert the Percentage Number here) Percent attention and effort??

What if it was the Heart Surgeon or Neurosurgeon working on an aneurysm you came into the hospital with?

Sorry, I love you guys and gals, I know from seeing pictures - what about 10 years ago - that wearing the required white Ipod headphones was somehow the proper attire for Detailing, and certainly, some astounding work was/is accomplished with them on, and I applaud anyone who can do that brain spit thing so much better than I...

Lol, not all people function the same. I function far better with music, to say sound is a distraction is like stating light (which we all need to detail) is a major distraction. Now, what type of music, that's a different story. Bottom line I'm way more attentive with them on than off. Just me an the car, no machine noise or outside distractions.
 
Ya I prefer to do a lot of things while having music in the background. That looks like a great price for those headphones. I use Munitio Nines on a Fiio E6 and just run the cord on the inside of my shirt.

Light is a major distraction ? Really ?

Ok, good luck with this... :)

Unless you wanna spend like hundreds of dollars, the best headphones I've found are Skullcandy FMJs. Not sure if they make that exact model anymore, I think they are about $70. I've tried a few and liked these best.

I've also tried Bluetooth headphones - but the Sony pair I tried was horrible. Not so much the BT, but they constantly fell off your ears.

However, I usually just have my IPhone plugged into a speaker so I can listen to what I want and not use headphones.
 
I feel like I detail much better and get into the "Detailing Zen Mode" when I am listening to music. Thanks for the link.

The same as music, if you had strobes lights going off in your face you probably wouldn't be able to detail. The same goes for music, a nice simple track that requires not a lot of though helps block things out. Ie ambient music. Like I said, to say all music is distracting is making the same assumption about light. They can both effect the senses in good an bad depending on how they are projected.

You should try Comply Foam Tips. I've replaced all my ear buds with Comply foam. I used to hate ear buds because they would always fall off my ears. With Comply foam tips they fit snuggly into my ear. Sealing the ear improves the sound quality too.
 
I don't care of HP for the most part unless I'm going to listen to music only...I don't wear them or use them in my day to day life...


Plus while I'm detailing I like to listen to the detail and become one with it...LOL

The Sony's weren't buds, they were these:

While the BT and battery worked OK, the physical design was horrible. They constantly fell out of your ears. I wanted to wrap duct tape around my head to keep them in.

Anyway, the battery eventually wouldn't take a charge. I planned on taking them apart to see if I could just replace the battery somehow, as they were around $100. But, so far I've been too lazy to do so.

I can help with last season's Formula 1... Lewis or Nico (one of the Mercedes on pole) or the occasional Red Bull. Vettel on the first lap 2 second lead so no DRS for the Mercedes or Alonso. Race is over. Vettel finishes with 22 second lead. Nico is second. Fernando or Kimi third. Interchange a few for Lewis and you're done.

Oh yeah, and McLaren showed just how bad they can be...

Come on 2014! McLaren back on top! Mercedes power beating Renault! Anyone but Red Bull (though I do like Riccardo...)

:)
 
I've been using the Phiaton ps210btnc. They are very nice, great sound quality. I usually clip the Bluetooth module on my shirt collar. It gives me quick access to volume and skipping songs. The buds are a half in, half out design, and they actually stay in your ear.
 
I prefer to have the music playing through speakers. I prefer to "hear" around me.

Think of it like driving a car or riding a motorcycle...Headphones/ear-buds are illegal.

I want to hear the sounds. I want to "be one" with what I'm doing when polishing paint.

This IS the idea of the century! I have said this same thing over a 100 times!

I run wires to 4-5 machines on the table. All day I trip over all the tangled cords.
________

Thoughts...

A machine light enough to hold all day, and powerful enough to get the job done!

I'd rather wear a battery pack on my waist than need multiple AC wires to trip over.

One battery pack for multiple machines/Rotary, DA, Big Throw DA, Direct Drive DA etc.

Just pick up a machine...plug it into the battery pack and go! There's a million $$$ idea!
 
If there was a revolutionary jump (energy density) in battery technology things could really change. We still use fairly ancient technology such as lead acid batteries.
