4.0 out of 5 stars Slight comfort issues - Incredible Sound, October 10, 2008

By	Larry H. Scheinman "The Rent-A-Geek" (Hotlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought these as a replacement to my Motorola HT820, and both the sound quality and maximum volume are levels above the Motorola offering. Battery life is sufficient for wearing them for 2 consecutive 6-8 hour days (of constant music) without recharging the unit. Controls are intuitive and logical. This model allows me to search forward or backwards in a track, which the Motorola would not do. Also unlike the Motorola, the well-padded ear cups are permanently attached to the headset, so you do not have to deal with them constantly falling off.

A word on the comfort issue. If you are not used to the behind-the-neck style of headphones, avoid this model. the hard Rubber where it wraps around the top of your ear can be slightly painful if you are not used to it. I find it a fairly simple matter to adjust them to a more comfortable posture, but others may not find it bearable.

Overall I find it a great headphone for hard usage. it moves flawlessly from phone to music, and can even partner a laptop & cell phone simultaneously. But if you are a behind-the-neck novice, you may want to consider the Plantronics Pulsar 590 instead

EDITED five days later....

Never mind. These are shoddily made pieces of junk. Less then a month old and the "slightly uncomfortable" ear holder has broken in two with nothing but bare wires holding the control-side earpiece to the rest of the frame. I better be able to RMA. The rating for this item just dropped from four stars to one (well, one half, if I had such an option)

5.0 out of 5 stars better than the Moto S9, August 15, 2008

By	Wudenboat (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

These are great. Easy to set up & more comfortable than in the ear type with my glasses on. Sound awesome with my A737 in 3D mode. Construction seems very robust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not without it's flaws, July 29, 2008

By	Malcolm E. Rogers (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These headphones have good sound quality in compared to my wired headphones. My only complaint is that they become a little uncomfortable after longer periods of use. They tend to squeeze your head, or maybe I just have a big head.
