Yay! can you advise me? I need new bluetooth headphones.

my plantronics a590 are 5 years old now, and the foam padding is falling to pieces (otherwise functional)

Just so happens that I just bought a pair of Creative WP-300s last week and I'm thrilled with them. Granted, they're not the equal of my IE-40 in-ear monitors or my Sennheiser HD238s, but they extremely convenient and sound better than BT headphones have a right to sound!

What gadgets do you have on you RIGHT NOW.?

[Jesper Anderson]

I'm here. I bought new foam padding for my headphones on ebay for like
$4 with shipping. Might be an option, unless you're tired of the
headphones and want new ones. ;)

Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by
filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable,
authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not
the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. (Phil 4:8)

[Wayne Gorton]

I'm pretty happy with my Jaybird Freedoms. They've lasted longer than my
previous models. My first set of bluetooth headphones were Plantronics
590A. They lasted a few years. Followed by Motorola S10 (not so
sweatproof), Jaybird JB-200 (very sweatproof but made of junky rubber),
2 sets of Plantronic Backbeat 903+ (all round rubbish and barely
sweatproof), 1 set of Jaybird Sportsband (charging jack in the
headphones failed).
If you hadn't guessed I'm pretty rough with my headphones. I run with
them (over 40km/week rain or shine) and used to ride (over 150kms/week
rain or shine).

I have an android phone (T-mobile branded HTC Magic), which is a better
reader than I would have expected a screen like that to be. But I still
carry the Nokia 810. I expect when it dies I'll get a better phone that
can do both, but I'm not sure battery technology is good enough yet to be
able to use my phone for phone calls *and* reading *and* music listening
and still have any juice left at night.

Hi, I'm still here too. *wave*

I'm currently using a Palm Pixi for personal text and voice and a Blackberry for work.

For everything else, I use an iPhone 4 and a 1st gen iPad.

My newest favorite gadget is an iSound 16000 mAh portable battery with 5 USB ports.

Hello!

[John Small]

I have been lurking from more or less day 1 of WOYP.

To answer Brenda's gadget question, and since I mostly lurk a timeline, more or less:

1. Moto StarTac > after a Moto hiatus, Moto Droid (original) > Droid X2

2. Plantronics wired earphones > Plantronics Bluetooth earphones (mono and stereo) > Jawbone Bluetooth earphone > Plantronics again > Jawbone smart earphone (maybe, thinking about it)

3. Palm Pilot (original) > Palm III > HP iPAQ (original) > Palm T5 > Palm Treo 650 > Palm Treo 755p > Apple iPod touch 32GB (3GS series) > Palm Pre (then Sprint cancelled my contract due to roaming usage) > Moto Droid, etc. (see #1 above)

4. Viewsonic G Tablet (several custom Android based roms, now using Flashback 8.1) > HP (Palm) TouchPad 32GB (fire sale purchase, like it lots)

5. Netbooks - Lenovo S10 > ASUS 1201HAB

6. eReaders - Sony (PRS-505 and 900), Kindle 3, Nook Color

7. Notebooks - Toshiba T1000, many from Toshiba (before the mediocre keyboards appeared), HP, IBM, Fujitsu and others since 

8. Transportable - Kaypro 10

8. Desktops - built many (including an S100-CP/M very similar to Pournelle's Ezekiel), currently none

9. Portable music devices - many including the original Sony Walkman, personal and Pro cassette models, then Sony ATRAC CD, Minidisc and microdrive devices; Creative Labs Nomad Zen xtra; exotic ear and headphones paired with Headroom amps

eReaders and portable music devices listed as I see them additionally as crossover, multipurpose devices, but basically portable or personal computers.

More or less an early adopter.

my latest gadget acquisition is my watch. a sony ericsson live view.
photo here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/taniwha/6101390510/

it talks to android phones over bluetooth, and does things like show sms/twitter messges, calendar alarms, and controls my music player and see trackname/album art, see my location/distance/speed when cycling.

I used it to control a presentation at a conference about 2 week weeks ago, tapping my watch to move slides.

oh, and it tells the time too.

[Ryan Waldon]

Is it waterproof and shock-resistant like a proper sportswatch? What kind of battery life does it have?

Palm TX

Pantec Jest dumbphone

Blue Ant Q1 headset

JVC HA-FX66 earbuds

Victorinox Classic Swiss Army knife

My handy-dandy guitar pick holder keychain.

I picked up the TX again after my Treo died and I couldn't find a phone that had the features I wanted but didn't also require me to shell out for a data plan. I stopped using the TX's web browser way before I stopped using the device itself, as it was pretty much useless for the web of 2007. Come 2011 and what do I find but all you wonderful people with smartphones have made everyone redesign their websites to work on small screens! The antiquated CDMA bluetooth stack won't talk to the Pantec, which is a horrid little beast that works just well enough to keep me from throwing it out, but no better. The Blue Ant isn't any better than it needs to be, either. The earbuds have decent sound, but are inexpensive enough that I don't care if they get lost or damaged. I'm on my 4th Swiss Army knife, the first two being confiscated by the TSA, and the last commandeered by SWMBO. I have determined that the toothpick is more useful than the light, but not as useful as the pen. The guitar pick holder is the best way I've found to always have a pick when I need one, and it's nice to have a place for them now that there are little people around who like to put things in their mouths.

[Bert Latamore]

I'm still here. 

Don, thanks for the recommendation. My last set of bluetooth headphones died several years ago (Plantronics) and they don't make them any more. I'll have a look at the ones you recommended.

I have (always!)

- My Sony UX desktop/handheld tablet, still working. I put new memory in it last spring and hope to get at least another year if not two out of it. 

- My now 2+ year old iPod. I need to replace it with the larger capacity model because it is full of music and of course we aren't slowing down on buying it. I keep expecting the hard drive to fail as I am far past the two years when they usually die, but so far it keeps going.

- My Flipcam, a birthday gift from my son,

- My Leatherman Wave -- not electronic but very useful.

I do have a cell phone, an inexpensive model that just does voice (I had messaging turned off as all I get are annoying ads for call tones that I don't want). I seldom use it however since where I live and work I have very poor cell service, and being a freelance writer I don't travel much any more (fine with me!) We are on Virgin, which is a very inexpensive service that works for us.

All the best, Bert

Here's what i ended up getting:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FVNHBI

Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Stereo Headset
they've been handy while cycling. I use to hear the navigation instructions from my phone's google maps.

i'm cycling between different buildings in the studio all day, and i don't always know where they are. I was using google maps navigation just on the handlebar mount with the phone's speaker, but i often can't hear that over the birds and the ocean waves ;-)

Which brings me onto another 21st century thingie. I've been enjoying using runkeeper.com to tack my cycling. I have a undefined battle with my sister, who lives in another city, to rack up more kilometres.

Anyone else using runkeeper?
