Customer Reviews

I purchased these Bluetooth headphones on 02/17/09. After passing the 2 year mark I think it's probably a good idea to write a review.
Day One: Tossed the wire clip and case in my junk drawer. Don't need either and the case just makes more unnecessary work. Never in 2 years have I ever had an issue with them falling out of my ears. Simply run the wire BEHIND your head and pull the slack even on either side and you're good to go. I spend 10-14 hours at the gym each week including mixed running/weight training and have never had a fitment/wearability issue. The case is a bit of a drag and is more for show. I usually toss them in the small compartment of my gym bag as-is. THESE HEADPHONES ARE DURABLE. I would repeat that but you get the picture. I have read a few reviews of people breaking them, pulling the internals out when charging etc. and I'm sure they must be treating them like $20 headphones and not a $100 set. I paid $140 new and have treated them as such. The driver housings are aluminum which is great for sound replication and the satin coated wire keeps it from getting tangled while in your bag or stuck to your skin.
Week Two: After giving these headphones a week or so to break in, I found that the audio quality is on par with the Sony MDR-EX76/BLK EX Style Headphones with Carrying Case (Black) which I recently purchased for use with non-bluetooth devices. Bass response is great as are the mids and highs. Microphone pickup and noise cancellation is phenomenal. Even in a crowded, noisy, music saturated gym environment my callers had no problem hearing me. The lack of a volume control was initially mildly concerning but since getting an EVO 4G last June, the volume can be adjusted from the phone without ever turning the screen on. A track forward and back feature would be nice as well, but for the minute size that would only add weight and drain battery.
Speaking of battery life... I never listen to these headphones at full volume. I don't have the best hearing, but I have never been the type to have my headphones so loud the person standing 10 feet from you can hear your "Oh na na, what's my name?" through their own headphones. That being said...
Expected Battery Life:
< 50% Volume 4 hours Listening time OR 2.5 Hours talk time
< 75% Volume ~3.5 hours Listening time OR 2 Hours talk time
< 90% Volume 3 hours Listening time OR 1.5 Hours talk time
I usually spend about 15-20 minutes total on calls at the gym so if you put your phone in airplane mode or stick to texting you can expect even more listening time.
The ear caps are pretty noise canceling so even 50% volume is an enjoyable level. It comes with 3 different sizes so you're sure to find one that suits you. I couldn't really wear these comfortably in my motorcycle helmet however because they do protrude about 1" from the ear. They were a struggle to keep in while putting the helmet on and after a 20 minute ride my ears were sore to the touch. If you plan on using these in-helmet I would look elsewhere.
Mid January 2011: Ran these suckers through a full wash cycle. Warm water, detergent, liquid softener, the whole 9. Dead as can be out of the washer. In my lazy (I didn't have the time to do the "rice trick" or leave them in the sun) yet comprehensive pursuit for durability testing I went ahead and ran them through the dryer on high. Figured if they were shot what could it hurt? Tried to power them on, nothing, no LED, nada. Plugged them into the charger and instead of a solid red LED I got a blinking one. I'm sure this means to service them. After an hour of being on the charger the LED turned solid red. I figured it would charge but still not work. After a couple of hours the LED turned green. Powered them on and THEY WORKED LIKE BRAND NEW. I guess now it's appropriate to repeat myself when I say that THESE THINGS ARE DURABLE!
Beginning 3rd Year: The headphones sound just as good as week one. The battery still performs identical to when I first purchased them. I can predict almost to the minute when I will get my first low battery warning based on the listening volume.
In a Nutshell:
< Excellent battery life and longevity for the size.
< Great music and call sound quality.
< Amazing microphone.
< Lack of volume/track control may be bothersome.
< Comfortable and light.
< DURABLE.
Not to mention it's nice when you get the occasional "Those are wireless?!?" from envious wire restricted gym rats.

I see alot of 1 star review by users who found out that Apple Iphone 3G and 3GS poorly and only partially implemented a true bluetooth headphone solution. These buds work great with 99% of all other phones out there with correct bluetooth profile. Blame Apple, not Sony. Sony has done a great job in creating the best looking bluetooth headphones that's chic and portable with great sound. If you're going to whine, go rate down the Iphone to one star, these headphones deserves 4 to 5.
