Battery life is decent, the sound is a bit low on bass, it's range is excellent
Wearing comfort is lacking, they always seem as though they want to slide off my head.
Overall a decent product

This is the first bluetooth headphone I have purchased. I travel a lot and find the best way to pass the time on a flight or waiting at an airport is to listen to music. "I test-drove" these headphones on a recent business trip where there I had a lot of stops, flight changes etc.

My first impression was that these were not very comfortable. The speakers are large and not contoured so they always seem to sit askew on my ears. More importantly, they literally fell off my head. This happened over and over again. A fair portion of my time flying was spent on my hands and knees, scratching around on the floor of the plane, trying to retrieve them. Furthermore they do not fold up so when stored in my bag, they take up a lot of room. I know that if I keep using them they will eventually break when my bag gets bumped or dropped.

Enough of the cons - they do sound ok - approximately as well as a $30-40 set of non usb headphones. Having a built in microphone is also great for skype or using with a cell phone. However, because of their size, you will not use them with your cell unless you are at home. battery life was very good - at least 10 hours so that's a plus.

In conclusion, great for Skype but because of their bulky size and poor fit, they are not much good for anything else.

I bought the one that came with the Dongle having found out that the Dongle itself had a price of 47+ dollars and the price for the headset without the Dongle was $50;with the Dongle was ~$61 so for $11 I figured It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. As it turns out,that was a good call. For My Ipod touch 3G that has Bluetooth and My wife's Ipad that also has Bluetooth the Dongle wasn't needed,The headset connected to both of them with no problem. I popped the dongle on my Ipod Nano and it connected no problem. The same was true with my wife Ipod touch 1G the dongle did the trick here too. Sound is actually pretty good considering we're talking a set of headphones. I agree the bass is a bit low but considering it's connectivity to all the Apple products I had at hand to play with, it scores 100%. If you want something to connect to an Apple product,from what I've seen in our house,this one is the way to go and remember the dongle does come in handy for those older products without Blue tooth.

Now this product sound quality isn't too great. Comfort isn't one you'd find great. But the design and it being a bluetooth is a great feature to have. Wireless is one thing that makes the product pretty good. Also it has a built in mic for gamers that's looking for a headset that has both mic and audio. Price is a pretty good deal.

Exactly what we expected. Doesn't work with all Ipods, but perfect with new Ipod touch and works great! Sound is awesome and loud.

Works great, quick and easy to pair. The charging part is a little annoying but for the comfort and practicality of wireless it is really worth it. Made for home especially if you have Skype or magic-jack. NOT FOR SPORTS OR RUNNING WITH, IT WILL FALL. Great for traveling with it has almost 17 hours worth of battery the last time i fully charged it. Not made for audiophiles but its a lot better than a lot of headphones out there and its perfect for a wireless headset. Microphone is great. The sound quality could be better but I knew this would not be top notch quality especially for the price

The headphones sound quality is about what I expected to get which is pretty good considering that it is bluetooth technology. The battery life I'm unsure about as I just opened them up. They paired up instantly and began playing right away. All the on headphone controls work with iPod touch. The fit is in my opinion the only draw back. I wish that they sat a little more solid on my head but can't win 'em all. (Patriots)

I ordered this and didn't even open it. They are not like the DRBT22. They are huge! If you want them for telephone bluetooth as well as Ipod use I wouldn't waste my time.
