This is my first Bluetooth device which I'm using to listen to streaming audio via my HP dv6000z laptop. I was tired of headsets with easily broken cords. The GE 99002 was fairly easy to set up, although I was confused about the instructions saying to charge the battery for a "minimum" of 12 hours when it only took 1.5 hours to fully charge. In my house, I can listen to the audio from the same floor where my laptop stis, or in the room directly above. A temporary annoyance was trying to figure out how to put the device on my head so that the ear pieces would rest somewhere near my ears. The instructions don't have any pictures showing how to wear the device properly. I actually figured it out while writing this review. I haven't been able to get the volume controls to work ... so have to rely on the laptop volume mixer.

These headphones work perfectly with the iPhone 4S. All controls work fine after you figure out the instructions. The back control increases the volume, front turns volume done. Tap on the volume control and the next tune on Pandora plays. Terrific! The instructions leave much to be desired. But the mic works well with the iPhone as given in instructions. Fidelity is tremendous. Best set I have found for the iPhone. I'm getting another one! Batteries last about 4 or so hours continuously as stated. Charges up in about an hour.

I use this headset with my Windows 7 PC and my Blackberry BOLD 9700. The device works fine on the PC, but on the blackberry, communication is somewhat choppy. Another little annoyance is that when playing video on the BB, the headset cuts on and off for some reason. Audio seems to work fine, although the quality is not as good as with the corded earphones.
