    "Works GREAT with my Iphone 3g" on by Gadget_Geekster

    Pros: Now using with my iPhone 3g , OS 3.0. no moisture or sweat problems. Call quality on my end is fine, no complaints from callers even when i ask them how i sound. So far they are my holy grail of iphone headphones.

    Cons: The forward and reverse buttons dont work with the iphone, and i read about this in reviews before i bought. not at all a deal killer for me.

    Summary: Good audio and call sound quality. comfortable, loud. light. decent battery life. not horribly stupid looking. No moisture or sweat problems even when working outside and in/out of pool (putting phones back on right out of pool, still wet)
    I wear headphones all day at work in my home office. I have some 900mhz sony over the ears that i love, but these are lighter, and i can take cell calls all day without de-phoning. I have yet to run out of battery life, but i havent used for over 7 hours straight yet. when i take them off, i plug them in. I coveted the Motorola S9's for a long time. I finally picked these after reading about lots of fit and comfort problems. very happy with my choice.

    "Not perfect, but getting closer" on by Axelfiver

    Pros: music quality is good, fit is good, no sweat issues. Great for working out, except when you have to recline. Battery life is good. Easy to use

    Cons: unit's neck loop that gets in the way of a collar or when reclining, unwieldy to put away, and has metallic echo sound when taking calls.

    Summary: The main reason I'd stick with this is that I don't see anything better overall out there

    "Best I've tried yet" on by eljeffe59

    Pros: Great sound, good fit, very light and comfortable

    Cons: due to the loop behind the ears, can hit the collar and shift around a bit

    Summary: I've had these two weeks and so far, no problems. I had terrible luck with the Motorokr S9's and S9 HD's. The would die after a few weeks/or months. I had a total of 3 S9's and two S9 HDs. These headphones not only sound and fit better, they have far fewer dropouts than the S9's which would predictably drop out any time the middle of the unit behind your neck would touch the neck. Some dropouts with these, but very few. I use with an IPhone 3GS. They do not have full A2DP functionality, but you can get that using an adapter, which I do sometimes. Great set, love them so far. We'll see about the durability.

    "poor sound quality" on by jpc5166

    Pros: adjustable angles fit ear well

    Cons: very trebley sound, flimsy feel

    Summary: I only tried these in a store for a few minutes. Sound quality was not acceptable. Way too trebly--seering treble in fact, and no bass. I think the drivers are too small.

    The good thing is they got the geometry right to fit in different ear canals, but the sound quality is just not acceptable.

    "Awfull experience power problems" on by jorgepla

    Pros: Fine when they work

    Cons: I asume sweat gets in, they charge fine one day and few days they won´t charge at all. I asume moisture hast to evaporate. they look ugly

    Summary: Problems, problems and problems charging
