"Excellent multipurpose headset!"
Pros: Great sound, very versitile, personally found better compatibility than advertised, stupendous tech support.
Cons: Context switching not as seamless as advertised, manufacturing defect.
Summary: I was following these headphones when the first preview leaked on the net. When their compatability list showed up it said it was not compatible with my HP 6315 but with the dongle it was suppose to be compatible with anything that the adapter fit into. Since my 6315 supported the headset profile and the headphones did too i decided to take the plunge and bought it once it was available.
Boy do i love these things, it has a better quality then my prior in ear bluetooth handsfree device (G2) and it is extremly versitle. I take phone calls and listen to my music from my 6315 and combined with the MS Voice Commander software i never need to take my phone out of my pocket on those cold NYC winter days.
Playing music by saying "play classical" or "play hip hop" and hearing it come out in stero sound rocks. Getting on Skype and talking to my brother or getting on Vent when i am playing World of Warcraft and never beng disconnected even, if i go on a refrigerator raid, is cool. I could gush for a while about these things.
The two cons i ran into was that switching between devices or functions is not very seemless and i need to manually retrigger connections between different client devices from those devices.
The second was the tension on area around the screws on the headbands led to cracks after about 2 weeks. After about 6 weeks the band broke. I sent it back to Plantronics and the shipped me a replacement with overnight mail, wow business rated customer service i love it. Heres to hoping these dont begin to crack (although i doubt it).
An excellent investment well worth the money i paid. Hopefully these headphones wont crack.

I now can walk in to my local retailer with the paperwork and walk out in 10 minutes with a new headset. This is my third pair and they always crack; inspite of the extreme care I give them.
Apart from that I completely agree withon TruenoBoricua's opinion and I think these are the best electronic device I have had On two years.
I will have to try that MS Voice Commander, it sounds great.
