I am returning for refundby mickeyndallas - January 29, 2009

Pros: No comment

Cons: I have not been able to play through my IPhone even though I able to pair the two. They are very uncomfortable and when I did get them to work one time the sound quality was very bad.

Review: Hopefully MobileCityonline will let me return them. I found them useless!
