This head set is great. I'll break it down.

Cons - Can be a little uncomfortable over long periods of time. They are a bit larger than I prefer, but considering what they do, it makes sense.

Pros - Great sound. Smooth music to caller to music transitions. Long battery life. Easy set up. Vocal quality is good, but not fantastic. Callers can understand me well, but they can tell Im using a hands-free device. Good Quality.

Too bad I can't return these! I use these with the Sony Bluetooth iPod Transmitter/iPod. After my similar Insignia Bluetooth headphones started falling apart within less than a year (still functional, but flimsy, lost ear pad, coming apart, etc), I got these hoping for a good replacement. They seem more solidly constructed, but the SOUND QUALITY is atrocious. It's stereo, but it's like listening to your music over the telephone. I fired up the old Insignia pair to make sure I wasn't imagining it, and it's a substantial difference in sound quality. I wouldn't recommend these for listening to music.

I bought these to use with my laptop so I didn't have to have wires and could get up and move around. The sound quality is fine for casual listening of music and basic computer needs. My real problems came with the uncomfortable fit of these headphones. I can't wear them for more than maybe 15 minutes before they start hurting my ears. Also, the on-the-ear- design rather than a over-the-ear- design adds to my discomfort. They also have a habit of cutting in and our, yet I know that it's the headphone's fault because I have other bluetooth devices synced with my laptop and they all work great.

These headphones are allright for the price, but I encourage people to look for another brand.

I was unduly harsh with the 1-star: I'd give it 2 upon reflection. However, now I understand why Moto is tanking. The sound on these music oriented headsets is awful.

There are 2 Bluetooth profiles. If you chose the stereo profile the sound improves but the high end is still very thin, the bass distorts, and the overall volume is quite soft.

I bought these earphones almost a year ago. I bought them for the gym to use with my blackberry. I must say that they held up pretty well amidst the sweat. I used them at least 5 times a week. The sound quality is fine however I felt that the volume was low. The fit can be uncomfortable after a prolonged period of time. My ears would be sore after taking them off (after an hour of use). I never had a pairing problem other than them staying connected after I turned them off. I had to go into my options on my phone to totally disconnect the earphones.

All in all I would buy them again.

I am now trying the Motorala DJ style earphones.

The fit is very uncomfortable, and for some reason, I constantly have to re-pair these headphones with my devices, as they don't recognize like they should. The "Bluetooth" logo on the back of the headset band fell off while still in the box. I highly recommend that you DO NOT buy these terrible things.

A non-adjustable band and behind the neck style make these over-weight head phones impossible to wear working-out or jogging.

Impossible for multiple reasons. A fall to the floor will result during any activity. Having awkward fit and heavy batteries will keep these headphones from staying on your head. The over-the-ear wrapping causes pain after 15 minutes, and will bend your ears out making you look like an elf missing chromosomes.

Non-ergonomic features are outstanding: great battery life, wireless range, phone and music features, but none of those matter if you can't wear them.

Very complicated to install A2DP profile on PDAs.

And it is too big.

Buy another one !

I was very pleased with this purchase. I read all of the reviews and had mixed feelings about ordering these. I went for it because I was tired of fighting with earbuds. I've tried numerous buds with numerous adapters but never had a good fit. I use these headphones mainly at the gym. I had absolutely no problems pairing them with my Samsung i760 phone- worked the first try. I am happy with the sound and the battery life. I don't know what it is like answering the phone with them as I typically turn the phone off in the wireless manager when at the gym.

Only one problem with the purchase. The page clearly stated (still does) that shipping and handling was free and I was charged 4.95. I still ordered them because out of all the options this was the set I wanted to try.

It works well with my phone... no doubt about it! It is sort of difficult with my computer but I am able to make it work usually. Best for stereo music and phone calls though.
