MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 Black/Gray Stereo Bluetooth Headset w/ Hidden Microphone MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 Black/Gray Stereo Bluetooth Headset w/ Hidden Microphone

Pros: comfortable

soft

provides a good seal on your ears

grips your ears fairly tightly so does not fall off, yet despite this tight grip is not uncomfortable because of how soft they are on your ears

adjustable for different size heads.

Cons: the microphone quality is not good. I had my sister call me using these paired with her cheap S*****g handset. When she turned off the Air-Fi AF32 Headset, and used only her S*****g, there was a noticeable improvement in the sound quality of her voice. When she turned the Air-Fi back on, her voice became more muffled and 'distant,' soft of as if she was on a speakerphone. Considering the cost of the Air-Fi headset, I would expect a better quality of sound from the microphone.

My sister experienced frustration in using these with her S*****g phone. Sometimes they would connect and work just fine, sometimes they would connect and not work. (the caller can not hear her, and she can not hear the caller)

The use of a multifunction button is a big con. The power button is also the answer call button is also the pairing button, depending on how long you hold it. (it looks like two separate buttons but it's really all one button) You are forced to learn a proprietary morse code just to use your headset. You have to try pressing the button several times before you get it to do what you want it to do.

Other Thoughts: I tested these on my D*** laptop, using the D*** Bluetooth software. This software is terrible. This is absolutely not the fault of the MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 Headset, but I'm just giving you a heads up... If you expect it to be easy to use this headset with Skype - think again. After 45 minutes of messing with settings, I somehow finally got both the microphone and the headphones to work with Skype. (by default, only one or the other would work.)

The laptop's bluetooth software for some reason doesn't send sound from all software programs to the Air-Fi AF32 Headset. Some programs such as MP3 player software or Youtube in your web browser work just fine, while other programs (such as the operating system sounds) don't go to the headset. I'm sure it would work better if I had an Apple product, but I don't.

I also tested the Air-Fi AF32 Headset with my M******* cell phone. Pairing them with the cell phone was very easy, but switching back and forth between using the Air-Fi AF32 Headset with the laptop and the cellphone is a cumbersome and time consuming process that involves navigating many menus. Skype defaults back to using the system sound drivers, so you have to manually switch Skype back to the Bluetooth drivers every time.

In summary, it appears that if you want to use ANY bluetooth headset with more than one device (i.e. laptop/cellphone) it's probably not worth the trouble.

Pros: Just my opinion but these thing take a beating and keep right on going.
So far these have lasted longer than any set of headphone i have had.
The battery seems to last forever for me.

Cons: Fit my head alittle loose but the pro's make these one of my best puchases in a long time.

Pros: Lots of controls, solid bluetooth connection, comfortable, and affordable

Cons: Poor sound quality. Good for a phone bad for music. It's not the stream quality it's the headphone speakers themselves. This would be forgivable except this is an over the head set of earphones with loads of media functions and the only reason anyone would choose over the head is for entertainment (music / ect) I cannot recommend anyone purchase these headphones.

Other Thoughts: There are much better bluetooth headsets available that are cheaper with the same quality and are more convenient. On the other hand if you want a headset for media, I recommend the headset I wore out and got this as a replacement for, Sony's DRBT series. The sound is infinitely better than these and the controls are much more intuitive. It only has 1 button, slide forward / backward to skip/ previous. Press down on it to pause. Hold it down to stop hold forward/backward to FF / RW. Smart and intuitive.

Pros: great sound,comfortable,long battery life>10hrs

Cons: no a2dp driver for windows xp

Other Thoughts: a2dp does not work on winxp, u need to buy additional software. bass is very tight, but can be easily over driven.
overall a great value product.

Pros: Most comfortable headphones I have ever owned. Stylish.

Cons: THIS IS AN EDIT OF A REVIEW BELOW, BY THE "N/A" WHO LIVES IN AN OLD APARTMENT. Unless I have the headphones turned on BEFORE I boot (I have two Windows systems by different manufacturers, both running 7-64), the headphones do not work, browsers crash, and I have to reboot. Although customer support remains diligent, there has been no solution to this problem, but rather the disappointing catch-all that the problem must be peculiar to my specific systems. I have gotten .DLL messages, and no question this is a driver-related problem, because the headphones work stunningly IF they are on when the systems are booted. It's a chore to have to reboot, but I'll do it, because I still like them.

Pros: Wireless, comfortable, multiple ways to connect, clever charging method

Cons: Poor transmission of music over bluetooth, poor microphone to pickup my voice

Other Thoughts: I was hoping I could have one headset for my cell phone, PC gaming and listening to music. And I was encouraged by the other reviews to give this a try.

For cell phone use alone, I'd give it 4 eggs. But the audio quality for listening to music is very poor. Also some callers told me I was echo'ey and hard to hear for phone calls, and my friends refused to talk to me on it for online gaming use.

On the plus side, the AF32 has the right connection options - wired or bluetooth. I also love the form factor of light weight headphones on-ear, rather than over the ears or in the ears. Some headsets give me headaches from the squeeze, but this one never did.

Having owned other bluetooth speakers and headsets, I know excellent audio quality over bluetooth is possible. Maybe my copy of the AF32 had a buggy bluetooth radio, but I decided to return it and try a different headset for now.

Pros: Most comfortable Stereo Bluetooth headset the I have used to-date!!
Audio exceeds expectations with good overall range.
Pairing was a breeze
I have been told that my audio quality on phone calls has been quite good so I am definitely using this daily for work.

Cons: Custom cable required for charging
When paired with my iPhone, I get no indication of the battery level.

Other Thoughts: Overall a great product at a good price point.
I will still be carrying my Plantronics Voyager Pro+ for conference calls taken outside my home office.

Pros: Comfortable, Excellent Sound, Excellent Manufacturer Response Time

Cons: Wish they had a stand.

Other Thoughts: The range of these headphones seems to exceed 33 feet. I live in a very large old apartment that stretches a city block and am sure the range exceeds what the Details section claims. These are lightweight, and the sound quality is superb. I'm amazed I got them on one of those Newegg promotions for $55. These headphones are especially good for extended use, because the design allows the least pressure on your head possible. Finally, I had a question about installation on XP, and even though I wasn't successful in installing, the problem laid completely with my system. MEElectronics Customer Service responded at the speed of light--*twice.*

Pros: Buy it. The best ever bluetooth headset. Bass from mid to high.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: Could have atleast added a charger for the price.

Pros: I have had these headphones for two months, either my wife or I use them on a daily basis. We have primarily used them to listen to music streaming from pandora or 8 tracks. They are a solid contender in the bluetooth headphone ring from a company that knows how to make amazing products. Overall the sound is balanced, detailed, midrange extension is great. They are comfortable, light enough to be worn for long periods of time and the isolation is above average due to a flat padded rather than cup design of the earphone. The battery on these is outstanding, easily meeting the 11+ rated mark. The controls work great on our Blackberry and Android phones, the call quality/mic is outstanding. For the price these are a great set of BT headphones that stand up well to daily wear and tear.

Cons: Nit Picking here, the L and R marking were hard to find, just remember that the controls are on the right side.

Other Thoughts: Another quality product from Meelectronics
