Summary: Not perfect, but a very handy pair of headphones nevertheless 2008-07-08
Comment: These headphones aren't great as a primary pair, but nevertheless, they are quite decent, and that bluetooth technology comes in VERY handy! I use a pair of very fine sounding B&O's as my primary headphones, but whenever I need wireless, I use these. Which is pretty often. Seriously, it is a joy to be able to move around freely doing things without getting all tangled up in a wire. The headphones do feel tight around the head - they are not the most comfortable pair I've owned - however, the tightness makes them actually stay on your head while you're being active. (Unlike over-the-head ones which can fall off, or in-ear phones which plop right out of my ears...) Also, the spare leatherette ear cushions make them a lot comfier than they would have been.
The sound isn't the best for this price range (I think we're mainly paying for the bluetooth here, not the sound, but the sound is the reason I take a point off), but of course it certainly beats your standard cheapo crap that comes with your player. The controls sync perfectly with my Zen player, but I also use these with a non-Creative stereo; you lose most of the headphone controls that way but they still beat being tethered to the stereo!
The range is not quite as good as what you get with wireless RF headphones, but you don't get the crackly static either. As long as you're in range with nothing major blocking the signal (and no other active bluetooth devices in range) then the sound is uninterrupted.
The other really nice thing about these headphones is that they seem to be uniquely sturdy! Again, in contrast to my B&O's - which sound incredible but feel like they could break in my hands - these things I can throw in my backpack, they get tossed around all day, and still good as new. The dongle unfortunately seems a bit flimsier; I hope with the next generation Creative will do something about that.
Also, the reviewer who wrote "Product is unsupported by Creative" is just plain wrong. I actually had to return the first pair of these I got; it was defective out of the box. I only got sound in one channel. I emailed Creative on their website, and got an RMA right away with no hassle. I returned them and got a brand new pair, sealed inside a box within about 3 weeks. The new pair works perfectly, and I even now have some spare ear cushions and other accessories, since they only had me return the headphones+dongle without the accessories.

Summary: Chunk of Junk 2008-03-22
Comment: People here are complaining about uncomfortable headphones. Low quality connectors. Bad sound.
They are the lucky ones!
Connection is provided by Bluetooth protocol, Bluetooth requires pairing, and this "device" loses pairing as soon as adapter is connected to the sound source.

Summary: Almost perfect 2007-12-17
Comment: Pros; With included dongle they sound as good as any other headphones I have ever owned. Battery life seems good as well.
Cons; Connected to my samsung sync they get a little glitchy(like a skipping cd). It's incredibly annoying.
Bottom line; they sound good wired or with included dongle, but used with other bluetooth devices is hit or miss.

Summary: Unsupported Junk 2007-10-15
Comment: Product is unsupported by Creative. I have a bigger head and they are uncomfortable to wear. Also, not working - though shown as connected. Not clear if they can be used with a bluetooth link seperate from the converter provided - which may be my problem. But as I said, not working and not supported.
Dell also refuses to accept return.

Summary: Great headphones, more pros than cons......... 2007-09-18
Comment: I got these headphones about a month ago, and I love them. I plugged the adapter into my Creative Zen Vision: M. Cut it on along with the headphones, and that was it. Headphones sounded great, it had volume controls, pause, previous and next buttons on the headphones which keeps you from having to control your music from the Zen. (The controls only work with Creative products since they are Creative.) They have about a range of 25-30 ft. which gives you plenty of space to roam freely and still enjoy your music. I haven't gotten a chance to check out the true battery life, but no complaints soon far. The only problems I had with them is when I was around microwaves. I think the waves from the microwave interfere with the bluetooth signal and it will cut in and out terribly. They also get a little heavy after long periods of wearing them. All and all, they are everything I wanted in a pair of wireless headphones. Only if I could answer my cell phone calls with them, but who cares because this set of headphones comes with an adapter and the competitors you have to buy the adapter separate. Way to go Creative!
