I bought these headphones recently because I needed the wireless capability. They exceeded my expectations as far as features were concerned. I am now able to sync the headphone with my PC or iPOD and Cell Phone at the same time. It actually pauses the movie or music on the PC or iPOD when a call comes in. Excellent!! I must admit though, that they are not the most comfortable headphones. So, they may take some getting use to. Also, be aware that the iPOD bluetooth transmitter uses the iPOD battery, so iPOD battery life will be reduced. But the value cannot be beat!
What's great about it: Bluetooth Syncing with iPOD and Cell Phone
What's not so great: Not the most comfortable Headphones
I would recommend this to a friend!

Freshly charged headphones and a 32G Itouch will last 8-9 hours. As long as you don't use the headphone controls to much otherwise it does suck the battery life. I have been using these headphones for 4 months and enjoy them quite a lot. Decent range and sound...will drown out the office noise around me while at work. If I'm outside they don't get loud enough to hear over the lawn mower...so I don't suggest them for that use. All in all this is a very good product and would suggest it to anyone. Plan on buying a set for my teenage daughter since I won't let her use mine.
What's great about it: Easy to use ALL day!
What's not so great: The sound isn't contained like earbuds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall I think it is a great set of headphones. I can place my iPod on a table and the headset will work just fine several rooms away. The headphones are comfortable on the ears. The sound it also good. It is super easy to charge the headset. The only draw back is the receiver that attaches to the iPod drains the iPod's charge very quickly. Just an hour play time can drain the iPod to half of its charge. The headset's charge will last longer than your iPod charge.
What's great about it: No wires
What's not so great: Drains iPod's charge very quickly

The product works great if you plan on using it indoors, but when I go for a run or ride my bicycle it skips more than a CD you'd find in the backseat of a teenagers car. Even when I was inside at the gym it would skip pretty frequently. The manual says that other bluetooth devices will interfere with the reception, so I guess as bluetooth becomes more available the worse the reception will be on your headphones especially in crowded places like the gym.
What's great about it: no wires and good sound
What's not so great: easily affected by outside interference
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pairs with ease. I use the transmitter with my Plantronics Stereo Headset. Connect that to both my phone and the transmitter so when calls come in the music pauses and when the call ends it starts up. I love that you don't have to charge it, it does take a little bit of play time away from the iPod, but its worth it being wireless.
What's great about it: Just works!
What's not so great: Price

I have had these for just over two weeks and they are fantastic! I'm almost always listening to my iPOD and I was sick of dealing with wires that always seem to get tangled, especially in my lanyard that I have to wear for my badge at work.
The battery life is great on these headphone I can go the whole day listening to them on and off and haven't had to worry about a dead battery yet.
I have experienced a few blips in sound when I'm walking around but I'm chalking that up to the iPOD being in my pocket. I'm sure that it's moving around and the transmitter is probably getting bumped, but those blips have not been anything big enough to really gripe about.
The headphones are also great because they connect to my HTC cell phone. When it rings the music on my iPOD pauses and the headphones have a ringing tone letting me know that my phone is ringing and allow me answer it using the headphones.
Finally I also like that way the headphones fold up allowing my to put them in the front pocket of my backpack to prevent them from being scratched or damaged.
All in all I am very satisfied with these headphones and would strongly recommend these stylish headphones anyone who is sick of dealing with tangled wires or anyone looking for headphones that produce great sound quality.
What's great about it: Wireless! Great sound, and easy to pack up when not in use.
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got these because I was sick and tired of dealing with earbuds that always ended up breaking on me even when they were the more expensive brands, and also because I hate having to untangle the wire from around my iPod. The sound is great on these headphones even when you have the volume turned up really high, they're easy to connect and get going once you let them charge for three hours when they're right out of the box. I think they're worth getting if you're into an alternative to wired headphones.
What's great about it: Great sound, no wires
What's not so great: nothing so far

I am a soldier in iraq and like most of us, I am in the gym daily. I had headphones with the wire and it was always getting in the way. I finally said enough and bit the bullet by buying these. So far they have served me well. I am able to perform my work out without interupting my music and vis versa. My only issue has been that I could not find the voltage required for the charger. Here in Iraq every outlet is 220V. I found out when I recieved my headphones that they require 120V and are not dual voltage. I then had to spend another 25$ to get a transformer so I could charge the headphones. Over all I would say they are worth it.
What's great about it: compact and easy to use. good for the gym, no wires
What's not so great: The charger is not dual voltage. I had to spend an extra 25 Dollars to get a transformer so I could charge the head set.
