Sony Headset.......2007-12-23

Good product. Good fidelity and comfortable. Only downside is a problem with Bluetooth itself -- audio is delayed enough to be noticeable when when viewing a video or TV. If speakers are on at the same time it is very annoying.

three stars is about right.......2007-12-20

three to almost four stars and is about right for this product. i am using it with a Samsung Bluetooth MP3 player and the audio is ok for listening to those MP3's in the gym: I have updated this review because it turns out the Samsung (P2) player was actually turning off the sound enhancement over bluetooth and that was part of the reason the audio quality was not as good as expected. I was able to tweek the audio on my IPAQ (see below) and achieve better results but still get hiccups when it is played on the IPAQ. The fit is good and after an hour of excercise they are not uncomfortable. the range is very good and it connects line of sight out to ten meters without a problem. the down side is the charger is 110 volts only and if you travel overseas then you will need a converter. hard to believe when all the other chargers are universal this one is 110 volts the other thing which is annoying is that most of the new products are going to USB charging so you can carry one charger and it is not the case here. means if you travel you have to lug around yet another charger. the instruction manual says there is a red charging light, mine is grey/white and took me a while to figure out there really is no red charging light. so far syncing bluetooth is not automatic (IPAQ often requires a reboot, Samsung easier with one botton) but i am still working on it. also when i used this headset on my hp ipaq companion and coreplayer i would get occasional hiccups in the audio and this has not been the case with the samsung. bottom line is it is worth three stars and perhaps perhaps a little short of four is about right, does the job but not perfect.

So far so good.......2007-12-18

Having gone through 2 pairs of Motorola S9 (which failed due to their touch controls defect that is fairly well documented in their comments section) and 2 pairs of Nokia BH-501s (one had a bad battery and the other one snapped near the ear), these headphones have been amazing, so far. Easy to use controls, reliable performance, long battery life.

They are not 5 star worthy though, because although they fold nicely, they don't fold into something that you can throw in your briefcase/backpack and not worry about. They could still be pressed and snapped. Also, after 2 hours of snowshoeing with them, my ears started to hurt.

Good headphones but too much ambient noise!.......2007-11-30

Pros:
Good construction
pairing
battery life

Cons:
even though the volume can be set to loud, you still hear too much ambient noise while listening to music.

Conclusion:
If you don't mind hearing everything else while you are listening to music, these are excellent headphones.

Still a compromise, but getting better.......2007-11-29

I have had these for about a month.

Things I like:
-Comfortable, at least much more so than the Moto S9's and the Bluetrek ST1
-Decent sound quality with a fairly flat response, but can still be EQ'd to your taste. IE, the low end doesn't distort or whimp out if you boost it with an EQ.
-Phone calls come through in stereo
-Caller can hear me fine in a normal speaking voice
-Better battery life than most competitors
-Nice that they fold, but I pretty much keep them at work
-They block out most, but not all sound so I can still hear people come up behind me, the phone ring, etc
-Buttons are easy to use and have a good tactile response and "seperate" feel. The motos have this touch snsitive thing going on, and it is hard to tell when your htting the right button. The Sony's have a different type of rocker for volume vs track advance/pause, so it is easy to tell which one you are touching.

Things I don't like:
-A bit finicky when pairing, especially when using it with more than 1 source. For instance, if I use it with my laptop then go to use it with my PDA Phone, I have to "trick" it into reconnecting by first calling a phone number. This may not be true for all phones though.
-Not snug enough to wear while running / working out.
-Take longer to charge than most.. more then 2 hours, although it is rare they run out mid day and I can usually time it so I charge them over night.

So I am stuck with the problem :) of having to use my Moto S9s for workouts and these for work. Actually this winds up working out quite well because while the Moto's are better at fitting snugly for work outs and block out more noise (like the huffer on the treadmill next to you), they make my ears sore after more than an hour or so.

However, while these are the best I've tried yet and the downsides are not all that much of an annoyance, they are still not a "top of the line" set of headphones such as the high end corded phones. I find this to be a bit like a good quality TV though. When you look at a better one side by side with an inferior one, you'll notice the difference but if the inferior one is equal to or better then what you were previously used to (like upgrading to HDTV from standard), you probably won't be disappointed with what an expert would consider inferior.

On a final note, these are susceptible to radio interference like any other wireless device and I do get occasional skips. Again, this is no more frequent than any other BT model I've tried and seems to be much less of a problem with the newer BT 2.0 transmitters.
