Summary: too big and clunky 2008-06-03
Comment: First the good - the sound quality is not bad, the range is good, it blocks outside noise well and it is LOUD. I also tried, and I am also sending back, a Jabra BT8040 for not being loud enough to hear when I am on the street and a bus goes by. Not a problem with this item. One could easily get it too loud.
Now the bad -
The dongle is huge! Probably twice the size of an ipod shuffle.
It does not clip onto your clothes very easily and there is an annoying super bright blue LED that flashes all the time.
The cords are too short to put the dongle into your pocket or otherwise get it out of the way, it is designed to clip on your collar-- Where it is big, heavy and flashing blue all the time! Yikes!
The controls are not easy to use by touch. It is just not well thought out. It's going back.
If you want to listen to music when you work out,a small mp3 player would be more convenient than this.

Summary: nice features, works well, complex user interface 2008-03-10
Comment: works well, I like it. sound quality is good if your transmitter signal is high enough. If the volume is too low on the transmitter the headset cannot compensate. I think this is a generic issue and is often what other reviewers of competing products are complaining about when they talk of static and the like.
The nice feature of these headphones is that they can handle many (7?) devices. You can switch between them at will.
The UI for doing that and for pairing is somewhat confusing but the documentation is okay and you do get the hang of it.
I love the earbud feel, though I hated the earpiece covers. They were too soft to stay in my ear -- kept falling out. I replaced them with a set from an older pair of earbuds and am happy now.
