Great "Bluetooth" headphones
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2011
I have tried a 3 bluetooth headphone sets solely for music. This is moderately ahead of any of the others i tried even though it is twice or 3 times the price it makes it worth it. However, with the sacrifice of cables you aren't going to get sound like a nice pair of cans. For the convenience and ease of use, I can live with that. If I want to listen to real nice sound I do that at home. These have pretty clean highs and mids, the bass is a less noticeable(but really look at the size of the things. Overall quality headphones and I think they were worth the price tag. Edit (7/29/12): I have now had these headphones for a year and my opinion of them have greatly increased if that's possible. I was recently looking for workout headphones, the sweat resistant kind and such and then I came to realize. I have been using these ones for runs and going to classes and such (in 100+ degree weather I sweat plenty). These headphones have been used daily during school months and now daily when I go to the gym. I understand it probably wasn't a great idea to test these with activities with sweating so much. But these have lasted me an entire year of heavy sweating as well as rough handling (in backpack and gym bag) and they are still going strong. They may be pricey but they sure are durable as well as higher audio quality than I have heard from most bluetooth headsets. So as I said I kept thinking about getting some headphones advertised as "sport" or "active" head phones and I just realized today that I have been using these all along and they have none of the drawbacks all the other ones seem to be accumulating aside from being a bit more expensive (Others I looked at ranged $60-$99). Once again, extremely happy with these and if your looking for great wireless headphones and possibly even to work out with I have found them to be the best in every category. On a last note, call quality is livable. People on the other end I have asked have commented that they couldn't tell I was on a headset while others have said it sounded a bit worse than normal so that to me is outstanding when coming from blue tooth mic head sets as they usually have terrible quality mic reception. Edit (3/15/13) Still going strong, just took them off after a long bike ride. I cant praise these headphones enough still no problems.

Not bad for the price, but not great.
By Rocky R on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013
I bought this headset to replace the "Mii Sport" ones offered up here (Which were HORRIBLE). This pair is good, not great. 1. Sound quality is fair to good. Sennheiser makes a nice headset, but being the 'sport' model, they were more focused on weight and position than sound. The sound quality ITSELF is decent, but there's a lot of noise from the outside that bleeds through. 2. The buttons worked, then didn't. I would try to control the music from the headset (FF / REW / Pause / Vol Up & Down), but it just stopped working one day about 3 weeks in. I contacted the seller and was issued an RA #. BEFORE I sent them back, I tried unpairing / re-pairing them and that DID fix the issue. 2 weeks later it happened again. The music STILL PLAYED, but you couldn't control it from your headset. This issue affected playback on BOTH my laptop AND phone (it wasn't the player with the issue, but the headset itself). 3. Battery Life is "ok" at best. My previous (6 year old first gen) Sony BT headset would last for days of occasional use for 3 or 4 hours at a pop. These last for about 5 hours TOTAL before having to be re-charged. Kind of sucks when it's in the middle of a work day and suddenly, I'm without music for the rest of the day while these charge. 4. Some people complain about the proprietary plug on the USB port that plugs into the headset. It's NOT a micro USB, but Sennheiser's own shape. Meh... Not that big of a deal if you don't lose it. I bought this headset to use at work for light duty, and do have to hear the phone ring / co-workers around me, so I didn't want to get the over the ear / noise cancelling ones, so this works reasonably well for my purposes, but having to un-pair / re-pair the headset every few weeks will be a bit of a pain. I paid $85 + shipping for them which I think is a pretty fair price. I'd like to see these at $49.99 / $59.99 for the issues I had, but they're OK for the price.
