Good for all but running, April 29, 2010

Overall a good product. It works just fine as long as you have at least one wall close to you, inside a room or out on the street. Sound quality is good, earphones fit very comfortably on one's head, they are light, durable, well designed. A quality headset that can be put to a good use as hands free headset inside the house or office.

The only problem is if you intend to use this product while running, you will have to put it on an arm wrist. Keeping a (Google Nexus One) phone in a pocket while listening to music will result in too many audio interruptions - every few seconds the sound mutes then comes back. I suspect this has little to do with the product itself but more with the Bluetooth specifications. I have experienced similar problem with a completely different pair of Bluetooth devices before.

Sound great but fall short - won't stay in my ears, December 10, 2010

These are ALMOST perfect. Sound great, easy to use, BUT I'm returning them because the earpieces won't stay in. They should have put in-ear buds on them with a bendable part so they STAY in.

Great sound and performance., November 28, 2010

This wireless headset was exactly what I was looking for. My main use is for exercising. They deliver great music sound and are comfortable. I had to adjust the swivels and ear piece several times to get it just right, but the adjustable features are great. I really like intense sound and sometimes you only get that when you press ear buds into your ears with your fingertips. I found that I could get that same effect by placing a foam ear plug between the back of the ear piece (by power button) and the inside of my ear. This made it so the soft rubber eartip was channeling sound right into my ear.
Taking a phone call while running is easy with one press of the button. Listening with two ear speakers and talking through two mics makes for great communication.
I ran a 10K race with these using the Nike+ GPS app. I had great music and great statistic updates throughout the whole race. I even took a call from my wife who wanted to know how I was doing.
