Expert review by : David Carnoy (cnet.com.au)

Incipio's $30 f38 headphones are a sound buy

A knock-off of the $70 Fischer Audio FA-004 headphones, Incipio's respectable-sounding f38 model is a relative bargain.

The affordable ; over-the-ear headphones feature an attractive, retro design, decent build quality, and a relatively comfortable fit, and they sound good for their modest price.

The f38s don't fold up or flat, and there's no inline remote/microphone for making cell phone calls.

While they may not be truly special for their modest price, the Incipio f38s are solid, good-sounding headphones for the money.

I have come to enjoy this headset given that I take all of the Bluetooth precautions keeping the headset as near as possible to the Treo and trying not to use the headset under difficult conditions. As soon as you start to move away from the phone, the...
