"Good solution to cutting those cords"
Pros: small and lightweight but very durable design, comfortable, attractive, compatible with everything, good wireless range, good sound quality
Cons: no media controls other than volume/mute, 6 hr battery life, non-collapsible design, occasional "blips" in the audio output, large bluetooth transmitter
Summary: I am now convinced that the level of comfort that you'll experience with this device is fully dependent on the size and shape of your head and ears. Most user reviews have cited comfort issues but I've had no problems after long hours of wear.
With the included adapters, the transmitter can be quickly and easily adapted to fit any version of the ipod as well as the Zune (be careful though as I felt like the adapter was going to break each time I swapped from my Ipod Mini to my 60 Gb Ipod Photo). With the included audio extension cable I've been able to use this on my PC, laptop, PSP, TV, etc (virtually anywhere you've got a standard 3.5" jack. Again I'm not an audio nut but these headphones sound great and even include a bass boost feature. Wireless range is also good but fairly standard for most bluetooth devices (30 feet or so). The headset and transmitter connect in seconds and I've had no issues so far.
On the downside, unlike it's predecessor, these headphones do not include media controls (rewind, fast-forward, etc). There are volume up, volume down and mute buttons though but it would have been nice to be able to pause on the fly. The transmitter itself is still a little large but I'll admit that it sits very securely with the right adapter fitted. The battery life is unimpressive at just 6 hrs of continuous use so I end up charging every other day or so. Thankfully the charging cable charges both the headset and the transmitter at the same time. Note that the transmitter has it's own built in power so no more draining of my Ipod battery. My only other complaints are that the headset, while being flexible, cannot be collapsed to fit into my tech carrying case for work and there aren't any (yet) compatible carrying cases. Also, I've detected a strange but occasional "blip" during playback which might be typical of wireless sets I guess.
Otherwise I am rather impressed with these headphones and I highly recommend them.
