Question 1

will these work with apple products, ipod,ipad, iphone?

Accepted Answer

I'm currently using these headphones with both an Google nexus 7 (Android), and an Apple iPhone 4s. Both work perfectly with this device including all controls

Question 2

Can this be used with and I-phone 5?  I listen to internet radio quite a bit.

Accepted Answer

It has worked with my Android phone and my Windows 8 tablets and computers via Bluetooth. Unless your I-phone does not have Bluetooth for some reason, these will pair and connect easily with any working Bluetooth device I have tried.

BTW, they are great sounding, easy to use if you read the directions. I use them for my music from computers and my cell phone micro SD card. I find the ability to take and make calls with it an added bonus. Mine are clear as if I were on my phone according to my wife, who is pretty critical when my toys aren't as good as expected.

Question 3

Does it have audio jack outlet?so I can listen to my laptop if doesn't have Bluetooth

Accepted Answer

No there is no audio jack but you can purchase a bluetooth usb device fro a few bucks. I love the battery life and the sound on these ear phones are great.

Question 4

Would these be compatible with a ps3 and/or a nexus 10 tablet?

Accepted Answer

I do not have a Nexus tablet but upon reading this question I went to test it with my PS3 and it works perfectly. It functions well with my iPad, iPhone, and Laptops whenever I use certain devices.

So while I can confirm the PS3 connection works, I cannot confirm the Nexus 10 but in theory it should work without issues.

Question 5

Looking for a headset that my son can play minecraft on his iMac.  Can he just push the "talk" button and leave it on while he is playing?

Accepted Answer

Not sure how the bluetooth is on an Imac.  I've tried to use on my pc laptop and it wouldn't connect but it might be just my laptop- it's really weird with both the wifi and bluetooth.

I use the headphones every day with my note 3 and my kids use with ipads, and other tablets just fine.

It will play game volume (and other media) by default once u connect it so u won't need to do much at all. I think it has auto off too but not sure

*my kids use it on minecraft too :)

Question 6

I'm looking for a pair of headphones so I can listen to movies watched on PS3 I can hear better, I'm about 75% deaf and always getting told that the tv is to loud. Would this item allow me to transmit the outgoing audio feed over Bluetooth, allowing me to listen to the audio via the headphones. Does anyone have any of the similar experiences?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so.  Unless your TV transmits Bluetooth and maybe it does but mine does not.  You need to buy wireless headphones that come with a transmitter.  You plug the transmitter into the tv headphone jack.  They work well I bought one years ago and they still make them.  It will cost more, 50 to as much as 100.  This item is for listening to a computer that has Bluetooth in it already.

Question 7

Is it compatible with Samsung SIII Android smart phone?  I use the blue tooth on my phone now to connect to my car's radio.

Accepted Answer

I use these to connect to my Galaxy S3 and have no problem connecting. The sound is pretty good and the battery lasts a very long time. I do have a problem with the connection dropping out if I put my phone in my left front pocket like usual. The connection is much better if it is higher up and more on the right side, like in a shirt pocket, which is not a very safe place to put your phone.

Question 8

Can these be used with a new Sony Flatscreen TV in the home?

Accepted Answer

If your tv has a bluetooth output they should work. I use mine with a phone most of the time at the gym so there are no wires to tangle up with equipment.  I also use a bluetooth speaker on my deck playing music from my computer. 
See if there are any friends that have any kind of bluetooth headset and try to do a  link to your tv. You could also try to find the tv with your phone with a bluetooth search. If the cellphone finds the tv you are in luck.
  I did a fast search of sony tv sets and could find nothing with bluetooth built into it. It looks like you will need a bluetooth transmitter hooked into the tv or a surround sound system with bluetooth output. The transmitter is the cheaper way to go.
 As to the headphones they have a good sound, they are easy to connect to, and they are comfortable.

Question 9

does it come with charger or cable only?

Accepted Answer

Cable only.  Kind of a short cable at that -- maybe 4" as I recall.  But I already had longer USB -> USB mini cable  so this wasn't a problem for me.

Question 10

will this unit work with ps3's and androids?

Accepted Answer

I know nothing about PS3s, but this headphone works with my Nexus 7 (Android) tablet, just fine.

Since Bluetooth is a standard, if PS3 supports the standard, it should work. You might look at the profiles PS3 supports and the profiles the headphones support to determine whether all functions will work.
