    Decent Sound

    Written by RR from boca raton

    Jul 29, 2009

    This device had decent sound and is good for workouts. Not good for lying in bed or couches with high backs. It did not fit comfortably in my ears for long periods of time. I was looking for a set I could use for casual listening but found the fit finicky for good bass response. Blue Tooth function was good for volume control and initiating last call but did not work for fast forward or reverse. I returned them for the Sony over the head Blue Tooth DR-BT101 which fit my needs better. …More

    Almost perfect

    Written by GC from Portland

    Sep 9, 2009

    Decent sound - a little to treble happy but nothing EQ settings can't fix (use Treble Reducer). Good standby time - 4 days. Good talk/music listening time - 6 hrs between charges. Charges quickly - 2.5hrs. Downside - some music control buttons don't seem to work with the iPhone. Otherwise fuss free pairing right out of the box. Splash proof design so you're good to run in the rain with it although I'm not sure you can really do that coz' the fit is not quite that snug. …More

    $180 CDN wasted

    I have been trying to find a set of wireless headphones for my iphone to use during work outs.
    I was assured that these would work great for that.
    I guess no one at Sony or Apple actually sweat when they work out.
    What a piece of absolute garbage! I mean REALLY. It is that tough to seal it???
    One star is generous.     …More

    nice wireless bluetooth headphones

    Written by LK from Wynnewood

    Oct 21, 2009

    Thi represents a nice option for those interested in a wireles bluetooth headphone. I use it in the gym and
    it works great with the machine. Incidentally if you use Nike+ sneakers and press the button on the iphone
    while running, you can hear your stats via the these headphones. Phone conversations are poor. You
    will be able to hear the person well, but they will likely complain that they can't hear what you are saying
    unless you speak very loudly. The sound quality is excellent, especially if you plan on using them
    in a loud area. Sound isolation is very effective. Overall I would definitley recommend them. Beware
    that you can't use the skip forward/backward function and voice dial is also not available.     …More

    The fit all design of this sort of headset is not compatible with sitting.

    Written by SL from fort lee

    Oct 18, 2009

    The back loop is so large it hangs way out.
    When running the leverage of the back loop makes the hold uncomfortable and a little unstable.

    The back loop doesn't hug the back of the neck, hence, if one sits on a chair with a head rest or tries to lie down the back loop will push the headrest off the ears.

    The reason for the large back loop is so that one can bend the head up (facing up) and for people with long hair. But I would much rather have a adjustable back loop that hugs the back of my neck so I can sit in chairs or lie down. And if the loop is high enough it will not interfere with trying to look up.

    Still, this is much much much better then the Motorola BT headset like this.
    The Motorola BT headsets have unusable mics and the back loop is much much heavier then the Sony's, making running with it very unstable. Its obvious neither was designed by a athlete or a audiophile.     …More
