5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but not 10/10 April 9, 2010

Just recieved these headphones today and i'm pretty pleased with them so far.
They feel very comfortable i have to admit, not to loose and not to tight and my head is slightly bigger than the average person, lol and the sound quality is pretty awesome even with the bluetooth on. Also there very light weight and fold nicely together which make them VERY portable, they even come with a fancy carrying case .Overall, not a bad set of bluetooth headphones for the new lower price. I would recommend them to anyone as you don't have to use the bluetooth feature and could use them as regular headphones as there worth it for the quality You can download an app from the app store named "BT HELPER" its a special bluetooth app which connects through these headphones and you can now skip tracks (skip forward and backwards). I downloaded it today and it works great! Specially if you can enable the app to work in the background you don't have to use it directly through the app, but you have to have a "Special" Iphone to enable the apps to work in the background if you catch my drift ;-)

This review is for the IPHONE 3GS

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent Sennheiser Product February 25, 2011

1. I'm not a hardcore audiophile, however I do know music and have tried various headphones over the years. The headphones I normally use are the Sennheiser PX100 II (excellent compact headphones). But once in a while, I have the need to use a wireless headphones but until I came across this pair, I was frustrated by either the lousy sound, lousy range and lousy fit of other wireless headphones. My most recent pair was the Sony (It's the one that wraps around the back of the head--> mediocre product, I think the model is DR-BT21).

2. Anyway, to get to the pros / cons of this unit:
a. Very good sound; no odd electrical interference etc... 1000 times better than the sony.
b. Nice quality build; much much much better than the sony
c. Ease of use; as with any bluetooth device; once you pair it, no problems.
d. The only con I have is that I wish that the headphones were... louder. Compared to some
of my other phones, it just doesn't get as loud; I'm sure I can do things to increase
baseline volume or gain coming out of my ipod touch (that's what i use it with). But
on the otherhand, the max volume on this unit in 95% of the time is where I would normally
max out at anyway; it's just to have the ability to go "beyond" once in a while.

3. Note: I know that sennheiser sells some attachment for the ipod, but if you have any modern ipod version (at least the ipod touch / iphone)--> as long as they're bluetooth capable, you don't need to spend the extra bucks for the attachment. All you need to do is turn on the headphones, turn on the ipod--> turn on the bluetooth setting and pair it up. As noted above, the range with these headphones is much much much better than the sony.

4. Great job Sennheiser.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superior portable BT headphone solution - you get what you pay for December 18, 2010

I purchased the Sennheiser PX210BT Collapsible Bluetooth Headphones with Vol Control and Sony Bluetooth Wireless Transmitter for iPod (Black). Like so many other reviewers, I've been looking for a bluetooth transmitter and headphone solution so that I can use my iPod without the wire tethering. I evaluated several less-costly solutions and found that they all had either inferior sound, inferior range (as in: range from just my pocket to the headphones on my own body too long to transmit reliably), or inferior comfort (seems like every less-expensive headphone has either a rigid head- or neck-band, or flimsy earclips (and I hate in-the-ear "bud" phones...personal (non-)preference))...the closest I came to one that was "good enough" was the Best Buy "Rocketfish" transmitter and headphone, but the rigid behind-the-neck-band was just too tight for my size 7 7/8 head. Finally I came to realize that the only real solution was going to be an over-$100 combo. Enter the Senn/Sony combo I purchased.

The Sony transmitter had the best combination of reviews and price (and I located the "bulk packaging" version of the above for about half the price), and this Senn headphone was (is) a good compromise for price vs. performance and comfort. The sound is outstanding, it paired effortlessly with the transmitter, and the comfort is as advertised even for my big melon head (in fact, even this headphone is a little snug, but after a few minutes' use I was fine with it).

The ONLY reason I docked it a star on my rating is the fact that I would prefer the max volume to be just a touch louder; I often walk on walk/jog paths next to noisy highways in my area and need some more oomph when I do. However, I will point out that for the vast majority of people these headphones will certainly be loud enough.

You get what you pay for; swing for the Sennheisers and you will not be disappointed.

12/21/10 update: More goodness - I was out last night on my neighborhood walk using my Senn/iPod combo as reviewed, and I realized one of my XM simulcasts of one my favorite shows was starting shortly. I have streaming Xm on my Android phone. I turned off my iPod BT transmitter, activated pairing on my smartphone, and within 30 seconds I was up and running listening to XM from my phone on my Senns, no instructions required. How easy/cool was that?
