Excellent!!!, November 21, 2007
This review is from: Sonorix C3 Bluetooth Stereo Headset with Caller ID & Removable Earphones (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This is the third product I have ordered from Satechi and every time I have received my order in a timely manner and a have been extremely happy with the products themselves. the sonorix itself is great. I use it along with my Ipod with Naviplay adaptor. The sound quality is great and the pairing was easy. The range seems to be quite good too. I often wear it while doing chores around the house and can go into other rooms and maintain the sound. I purchased this to replace my Motorola S9 which kept skipping on me. As a stereo bluetooth headset for listening to music, I would give the Sonorix 5 stars. For use as a bluetooth headset for mobile phones I would give it 4 stars. During phone calls it sounded a bit tinny and at times people on the other end had difficulty hearing me unless I had the unit positioned correctly near my mouth. Still I have used it quite a bit for the last week for phone calls and it is not that bad. The caller ID display is a definite plus.

Very Solid Device, December 29, 2007
This review is from: Sonorix C3 Bluetooth Stereo Headset with Caller ID & Removable Earphones (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I recently came across this stereo bluetooth device and I was very impressed. I am a very critical and advanced collector of gadgets and already owned a Plantronics 260 stereo bluetooth headset. While they are both excellent bluetooth stereo devices, the Sonorix C3 has a two main advantages over the plantronics in that it has a very sleek caller ID screen hidden by the design, while the plantronics did not and it also has the mic built into the device and not the ear piece as in the plantronics. That was perhaps the best advantage, because the mic is excellent and though the original ear piece was only average, I just swapped it for my favorite ear piece and now have great sound.

This IS A BLUETOOTH v2.0 device, and darn nice one at that., February 5, 2008
This review is from: Sonorix C3 Bluetooth Stereo Headset with Caller ID & Removable Earphones (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased this device about 3 weeks ago as I needed a new stereo headset for my Treo 680. I have not been let down! This device is exactly what I was looking for. Here are a couple of points:
1. Ignore the person who says this is not bluetooth v2.0. It is, there was an error in the first printing of their manuals saying it was v1.2. The new manuals (like the one included in my box) state v2.0 and if you check with the bluetooth standards body they list the devices as certified bluetooth v2.0
2. Sound quality is excellent. I get a solid 304+Kbps signal "most" of the time. Like any bluetooth connection, the quality depends on both devices communicating, the environment you are in, what is in-between the two devices and how far apart they are. If I'm around a lot of other bluetooth devices (like on the metro) I occasionally get cut outs. If I walk to far away from my device, I can get cut outs. But the vast majority of the time I get good solid connection with my Treo in my pocket and the Sonorix C3 clipped to my chest (shoulder strap on my messenger bag).
3. Remember bluetooh requires the cooperation of two devices. The most likely of the two devices causing the problem is the more complicated one. In my case it's the Treo 680. I have to use third party software to get A2DP to work on my Treo. Most of the time it works pretty good, but the few times I've had problems it has ALWAYS been my treo that was the issue not the Sonorix. Restarting Bluetooth or the bridge software on my Treo always fixes the problem.
I can't comment on the quality of the headphones that come with the Sonorix, I've never used them. I prefer to use a pair of Sony MDR-EX71s which provide great sound quality when paired with the Sonorix C3. Also the remote controls on the Sonorix work great, pause, play, FF, RW, stop, and pause and return from calls work fine.
I have no complaints with the Sonorix, I just wish the Treo had a better quality bluetooth software stack that included native A2DP!
