Just received these today and I must say that initial impressions are very good. Sound quality is quite good (MUCH better than my cheap wired Nokia earbuds)and they were found by and connected to my phone with no problem.
They are also much louder than the earbuds which is great as the volume level from the phone alone is lacking.
I will need to listen to them a bit more but so far they seem good.

I only have one thing I am quite ticked about and that is the fact that the AMAZON description does (and HAS for some time now) indicates that these come with the AD-47W adapter. BUYER BEWARE-------they DO NOT!!
ANTonline only offered to refund my money, which I think is pretty lousy.

Pros: These headphones sound GREAT with a decent range of audio and it uses the same style of mini-Nokia power adapter that most of my other Nokia products use (such as the Nokia N800 for which I had purchased this to use). Except for the silicone-plastic notch that fits over your ear, which can be uncomfortable after some period of time, it's otherwise pretty comfortable and the microphone picks up sound surprisingly well.

Cons: But, and this is a VERY BIG BUT, I should have done more research on these headphones before I purchased them. There are reports on forums that I'm not the only one that experienced easy breakage with them within the first two weeks of owning them and Nokia provided poor support when I called them.. telling me that I could get a deal on the original price.. which ended up being MUCH more than I'd paid for them, even after that discount and they otherwise told me that I could, effectively, take a gamble and send them to Nokia and if they deem it to be a manufacturing problem (which it's more of a design flaw), they would consider replacing it. I'm not very satisfied with either the design nor the customer support.

To explain the flaw: They fold for convenient storage and to sit them well on a desk during charging but at the thinnest point between the handband and where you apply pressure on the phones to open them, the plastic easily crumbles apart. The plastic appears to be thin and somewhat flexible but just brittle enough to crack apart and dangle the phones by the cord off the band.

Summary: If it wasn't for this particularly fatal flaw, I would otherwise have probably rated them a 4 out of 5 in every regard except perhaps long-wear comfort where it might warrant a 3 out of 5. If you DO purchase these, I would recommend against folding them up or at least being delicate with them.

I'm using these with a Nokia 6110, playing 320 kbps mp3s. Cell phones typical heavy compression of mp3's noticeably affects sounds quality.

Sound quality is very good. My music sounds and feels good. Bass is very good, and the low notes are there.

I had never realized how incredibly nice it is to have a set of headphones without wires. They are quite comfortable and fit snugly, though the plastic ear tab can feel a bit uncomfortable on the ear after long use. I don't think I'll have any trouble taking these jogging.

I have found this headset to be a great sounding device. I mostly use it to hear classical music and meditation mp3's with a Nokia E90. You can hear/feel those very very low alpha waves on the meditation mp3's really good. Pairing with the phone was easy per the instruction manual. After the first pairing all it takes is to turn on the head phones, turn BlueTooth on on the phone and the phone finds the head phones immediately. Easy to use and great sounding. They are also not that expensive as bluetooth stereo headsets go.

I bought this gadget to listen music with my Nokia N95, and the first impressions are excellent! It took more than 4 hours to charge completely and after all was ready to use. Pretty simple to pair with the phone, and you are completely able to hear digital music and make / receive call with loud and clear quality. The stereo quality rocks, much better than some wired devices...

works like a charm on laptops and cellphones with bluetooth. Just remember to use 0000 as teh access code when you try to connect to bluetooth devices.

This item is super good, very good sound and functionalities, but its materials are very cheap, very chinese.

Bought these after being fed-up with motorola S9 (of which read my review, "junk"). Overall, simpler but better quality. Don't have control features of S9, but better sound, louder, hook up to my laptop quicker. Twice as long to charge, but holds charge twice as long (11 hrs.). Bigger, little heavier than S9. Cut into my ears,had to put tape on frames. Only thing I really don't like is blue light on R. side flashes when in bluetooth mode, makes reflection in my glasses at night, drives me nuts. Put tape over, shines right thru. Oh, well.
Time will tell if they hold up better than S9, but so far, so good.

Battery charging- Worked as mentioned in the manual(time to charge)
Works with Nokia N73(music player) and laptop. looking good as of now. Sound quality was good when using with laptop(gtalk).
Drawbacks:- no microphone with the headset and also no inbuilt fm receiver so it doesnt work with fm radio in n73. Otherwise it is fine.
Not sure at this point of time if you can replace the battery also. It appears you cant.

i picked this up about two weeks ago now and have to say that i am very happy with these headphones. i had no trouble connecting them to my nokia 5700 music phone. they are comfortable to wear, are lots louder than the two other pairs of bluetooth headphones i have tried. the battery life is equally impressive. and they're priced very reasonably. definitely worth the money.
