"I'll be in the market again for stereo bluetooth"
Pros: Good ear fit, ease of use, ability to leave pendant with phone to keep connection
Cons: Inexplicabably drops bluetooth connection, some sync issues, connects with only one bluetooth device at a time
Summary: I have a Motorola L6 and an LG "V" phone. The 260 works much better with my "V" than it does my L6. The L6 will tell me the bluetooth is connected however it often drops the incoming call or diverts back to the handset when I pick-up. The buttons on the pendant will not interface at all. As seen within other reviews on the Pulsar 260 the volume is OK in quiet environments only using my L6.
To the contrary the LG "V" works much better. The pendant controls interact well for turning the volume up/down and once the phone is sync'd with the LG phone it stays sync'd. However getting them matched up requires turning both off and on and sync'ing in proper order or it goes into a non-stop cycle of connect/disconnect. For whatever reason the volume is much better when using my V phone. I can even use it with my convertible top down and windows up. The microphone must do a good job of wind filtering as the person on the other end can hear me OK if I keep the mic within 3" of my mouth in this condition. It should go without saying under office or closed car conditions RX and TX performance greatly improve.
Both ear buds provide voice which greatly enhances clarity over my older over the ear Motorola device which came with my "V". The "V" does not support stereo bluetooth MP3 so I can not evaluate the range/quality of music playback.
Comfort: I've used many earbud devices in the past and these are the most comfortable yet. I can leave them in for long periods of time 2-3hrs before my ear canals become irritated. Other devices become uncomfortable "to me" ranging from 15min to 2hrs. It seems to have very good battery life. I've gone 3 to 4hrs of talk time on it per day and have had no problems with power. The device is very light. If not for the wires you'd not know it was there.
