I use them with my ipod. I did a lot of research before choosing these headphones. I actually tried three different ones. I like that these have a flexible wire between the earphones and they are comfortable to wear. The only down side is I can't move too far from the transmitter. The sound is great though.

I use these earphones with my zen vision w, home pc, and work laptop. They have very good sound quality but are not for the audiophile. Volume is a bit low, but turning up the volume on the vision/computer fixed that problem for me. Range is very good as long as the receiver has clear line of sight (I was getting clear reception at 40+ feet), but walls or any other obstacles will cut down that distance dramatically (I averaged about 10-15 feet moving between rooms before the sound would begin to drop). These earphones are fairly light and look a bit bulky when I put them on. Fit and degree of comfort will vary from person to person, but I found them very comfortable. I can wear them for several hours without a problem. However, I have fairly small ears, and these guys fit a bit loosely on them. For me, they are secure enough to wear while doing chores and when I'm sitting at my desk at work but not while exercising. I can carry on a conversation with another person without removing them. They will run about 8 hours on a 3 hour charge. I do wish Creative had provided more protective storage than the fabric drawstring pouch they included. The plastic on the earphones also feels a bit cheap. The pads on the speakers cannot be changed out. When the battery dies out, you will not be able to use the earphones until they have been recharged. Overall, I am very pleased with these earphones. I was looking for a light, over-the-ear, wireless type of earphone (not many good ones to choose from right now), and these met most of my expectations. :)

Good product, good sound, some difficulty charging. headphone controls only work with certain devices though. Great product overall

Sent 1st pair back. pieces that go behind ear cracked, i glued them but they kept snapping in different places. They were just defective; my replaced pair were sturdy. However, on my second pair the lower volume button didn't work >8|. I tried to fix this myself and just about did but I broke a delicate piece inside.

Reception isn't bad but it cuts a little when I run and receiver is in my pocket.

I was researching to find a set of bluetooth headphones and looked at a lot on line, especially the Jaybird, but got mixed reviews on that one. I found these at Frys and the best part of it was that I only paid $23.71 with tax for them. So it was a comfortable releif for me to experiment with these.

The look of them is great. The sound quality is soso to much on the highs, but I'm a bass-a-holic and the bass is decent, if you don't have any background noise. Someone stated that they had a buzzing noise when they were using theirs and so does mine, but it only has that buzz for Heavy Rock music and singers with high voices, but when you get to HipHop, Easy listening the buzz goes away. What's crazy is that the sound of Hendrix songs sound great on the unit.

The unit on a single charge lasted for about 6 hours for me, but that's cool for me. The signal does cut off when your away. For me it was about 10 feet, but I was in my bathroom and my ipod was sitting on the couch with the bluetooth transmitter. But most of the time when I use these, I'll have my mp3 player on me.

I was reading someone elses review and they stated that the pause, fastforward and reverse features only work for "certain" mp3 players. If you ever read my review, please let me know what mp3 player works with the headset. My experience with them would be a whole lot better.

I loved them for as long as they worked but died in less than a year. :( Still worth it for busy subways and buses. Your player stays safe in your bag while you're listening.

I bought these directly from Creative for $40 (they were having a "Recession Buster" sale) and after using them I would say they are worth what I paid and not more. While they have pretty good sound, the range is extremely limited. If I use the set sitting out (like connected to a laptop) the range is maybe 20 feet, but it isn't so good through walls or fabric. For instance, I had though I'd be able to put it in my backpack, purse, or pocket and use it from there, but it turns out that it can't handle that much fabric between the transmitter and headphones. Putting it behind even a single layer of canvas results in skipping, even at 2 or 3 feet and fully charged. It is fine if I leave the transmitter hanging out of the zipper/pocket though.

My other gripe with these headphones is that they don't work with anything that I have that has its own bluetooth. I realize that it is supposed to work independently of the transmitter if you have bluetooth, but both my iMac and Macbook Pro can see it but can't find any functions to use (they don't recognize it as headphones). So even with bluetooth devices I have to use the adapter, and I wonder if the range would be better if I could do away with it.

Overall, I think these headphones are worth what I paid for them, because as long as they are in range they sound great and are pretty comfortable. Another reviewer mentioned buzzing sounds, but I think they got a defective set - mine has very clear sound. With the range restriction, though, I really wouldn't recommend anyone buy them at full price.

i like the form factor, and the sound is decent but there is a very high frequency buzz that gives me a headache. It is most apparent when listening to talk radio. I will be returning these.

I wasn't too impressed. The sound would cut out every once in awhile even when the device was only 2 feet away. Also, the weight of the headphones pulled on my ears. Every time I took a step I could feel them and after an hour they would really start to hurt. The only positive is that with the adapter I can now order another pair of headphones that will hopefully be a little less painful.

I just purchased these after doing some research on the internet. These seemed like the headphones for me. I just got them last week and I have been trying to charge them. I read through the instruction manual and charged them according to the manual, but they did not behave according to the manual. When they charge, the red light is supposed to stay on until it is fully charged and then it turns blue. For me, it just turns off and then nothing. I have not been able to use them at all. Creative has yet to get back to me on replacing or fixing these. I'm still shocked that they can let something as defective as this out of their warehouses. Creative clearly has problems with quality control.
