Good idea, bad executionby idesignstuff - March 3, 2008
Pros: Bluetooth stereo earbuds, long battery life
Cons: Ugly, uncomfortable, poor sound quality.
Review:
this headset does function well electronically, but it doesn't sound very good, and a couple of hours with the "old-style" earbuds made my ears hurt. As for sound quality, treble is weak and so is bass. I ended up cutting the ear buds off and soldering in another pair of cheap Philips in-ear buds. Much better. It is a good system except for the buds. The size and appearance are nothing special, but it's not heavy, and with the included BT transmitter, I can receive good sound signal up to 100ft away. Love not being tied to my computer. Battery life gets me through a whole day (9-10) hours without quitting.
