Pros: I do home audio recording and video editing for a living and I wanted a pair of headphones that would allow me to go wireless of course and listen to mp3s on the go yet maintain good quality. I must say THE SOUND QUALITY IS ON POINT. punchy kicks, clear treble, bassy bass. much comparable to a good pair of 30 dollar studio headphones. BATTERY LIFE IS OUTSTANDING! got 10 hours of constant music (yes i'm a music junkie) before music started cutting out. headphones were fully charged in 2 hours. left headphones in car after a full charge overnight and they still performed well on battery all day. Also the range is great I bought the class 3 bluetooth device for my laptop (100 meter range) and was able to roam all over my two story house and still hear I was so surprised. now make them water proof and its on!
Cons: kinda hurt my ears for a lil while the way the headsets made and the way they are built are slightly on the nerdy side but not too much... i work in an office enviornment and wanted something sleek like the MOTO S9s but the S9s are a pain to work with and sound horrible so I got these. also still having trouble getting them to pair to my laptop and the phone at the same time but that may be a user error not the headphones.
Other Thoughts: i actually bought these from an electronic retail store in NY for 79.99 but bought a second pair off of newegg for 37.50 and they were the exact same. I say they are definitely worth the newegg price.

Large and a bit painfull but great
Pros: All the features are on par with what i was looking for. Stereo, Bluetooth, long life, doesn’t look like (what I consider) a nerdy de-facto BT earpiece. The range is very astounding considering I can be a few rooms over from my Blackberry curve (what I paired it to) and I still have clear sound. Unlike what other reviewers stated, you can use both earpieces when speaking on the mic. This turns out to be a function of the phones ability to run both speakers even when talking. My Blackberry Curve has no problem what so ever, no echo on the mic as other stated too (also a product of the phone, not the headphones)
Cons: Rather painful on the ears when you first get it. But I’ve found that it is getting less and less painful as I wear it. Your ears simply need to adjust to the new pressure their receiving in spots that aren’t accustomed to bearing load (the tops of the ear). After a few days my ears are pretty much fine. Not even really a con as this is kinda just a problem with having sensitive ears. If you wear any around the head headphones you’ll already be accustomed to this sensation.
Other Thoughts: Most of the issues people have complained about in previous reviews are, in fact, complaints about their phones and not about this headset. Don’t be discouraged just because someone said this or that doesn’t work. They need to complain to their phone manufacturer for not making a more robust Bluetooth stack. My Blackberry Curve has none of the issues listed above simply because it’s a well built phone. Place the blame where its due, not on this well built headset.

Excellent
Pros: They actually do put out some very good sound when you aren't running the microphone. I was please with my ability to roam about the house and switch/pause songs seamlessly from my computer. I've tested it with a few cellphones and am very impressed with its compatability with them.
Cons: If you're like me and you're running multiple bluetooth devices from your computer - the sound can sometimes drag slightly - and by that I mean the song will come through as though the play speed has been altered to a lower setting. However, this is somewhat to be expected of from wireless devices.
As written in other reviews - It does get somewhat painful to wear for a long period. I found that the longer I had owned the headset the less I actually noticed it. So it may be that you just need to get used to it. At first putting it on it feels comfortable, but as the hours of gaming pass you'll definitely start to notice a sort of pinch on your ear.
The main disappointment was the fact that when you're running the microphone you cannot get better than Mono sound. If you're not using the mic though, this headset puts out some very high-quality sound.
Other Thoughts: Overall I've had more use out of the headset than I expected. The only real downsides being the mono sound when using the mic. The "pinch" takes some getting used to but will eventually not be as big of a deal. It certainly doesn't ruin how good of a headset this is.
The only other small design thing I had a problem with was the fact that the cable used to make them regular headphones comes out of the right side of the headset. Well.. my headphone jack is on the left side of my computer... so the cable drags over my keyboard :/
Other than that it's a great headset!

Miscommunications
Pros: They work with my Nokia 5310 very well, and they have great distance on them. I'll have my phone on the charger and walk around my entire house with the headset on and i don't lose any sound quality except in one part where theres a large metal wall which i think causes interference with the product
Cons: On some songs with high background base you can get a loose-change sound as others have stated. Pretty sure thats just a minor thing that could probably be repaired, but its really not noticable unless you listen very hard(or at least it was for me)
Other Thoughts: I ordered the black headphones, which cost 71, and yet i received the grey headphones, which cost about 36. mind you once i brought this to newegg's attention they almost immediately refunded the difference in price to me. If you want cheap, for the same stuff, look up Motorola HT820 and get the grey pair, unless you wanna pair 36 more for a pair of black ones

Fun toy!
Pros: Light, sounds quaily is excelent, looks nice, a blast at lan parties.
Cons: After wearing these for a while I get sore ears, won't play some audio files, mic sounds a bit distant. = -1 egg.
Other Thoughts: I had to encode all my music to a standard mp3 to play these from my phone as this product decodes the audio and can not play all audio files. I got these to listen to music from my phone and for LAN parties. It is fun to be able to walk around while hearing teamchat or just listen to music. I am the first one up for pizza since I don't have to take off and find a place for my headset.

best headset
Pros: I bought these to listen to music and other mp3 audio (lectures and such) from my phone so I don't need to carry another device. I use them on a ninety minute commute - the train mostly. They paired with my cell phone easily. You can turn off the blue lights (push both fwd and rev buttons) - I don't like the look of the flashing lights and I don't need those lights to tell if its on, because I turn it on or off when wearing it - by listening to the beep. When a call comes in while listening to mp3 it switches to the call - when you hang up it switches back to the music.
Cons: I couldn't pair it with ibm t60 laptop, but I only tried once and it works so well with the phone I haven't tried the laptop anymore
Other Thoughts: It stays on your head. I have all sorts of wireless and wired headsets and those others are less likely to stay on/in my ear(s). It does get tight after about an hour, but I reposition it and keep wearing it. They do not interfere with my eyeglasses or a hearing aid. For me the best headset I have had.

Dick Tracy eat your heart out !
Pros: I got this for listening to music from my Nokia 6555b cell phone and for talking on same. It synced just fine working both ways as advertised. I also use it to listen to music synced to my computer with Media Player 11 using Blue Soleil software. I have used it to listen to audio from Halo PC while playing on line. (Blue Soliel software)
Cons: I can't think of much, there is an occasional skip while streaming music from the phones media player but it is not constant and is for a half second now and then. It has not kept me from enjoying this immensely. It does not happen when listening via the computer. I have not yet contacted Nokia or Moto about it yet.
Other Thoughts: The info card that it comes with is minimal but adequate. I was able to understand how it works. It did not say this but when a call comes in I have best luck by pressing the right button to silence the music before pressing the left button to answer the call. I like the voice activated calling. I don't seem to be having as much trouble with ear comfort as some reviewers. I sit at a microscope for 7-8 hours a day and am wearing this thing much of that time. If it bothers your ears invest in a little bit of self adhesive moleskin at the fabric shop. I only synced it the one time and my phone asked if it should auto sync when it detected it and of course I said yes. Now as soon as I turn it on it starts playing music at once from my phone. The phone has a 4Gb transcend Micro SD card in it with about a 1000 songs so far. This thing works..

Awesome Bluetooth Headphones
Pros: I really like these headphones. I able to drop my cell phone in the middle of the coffee table and walk around without loosing a signal, as long as I'm on the same floor. The sound quality is great, could be a little better if there were some sort of preset tones for the headphones but it's not a big deal. Answering calls without taking off the headphones is an awesome thing.
Cons: You really have to find your sweet spot when wearing these headphones, like others have said; they do pinch your ears after a while. This might be something that you would have to get use to.
Other Thoughts: I wanted to fully use the Bluetooth media player feature to go along with my new cell phone, and these are great headphones with awesome features to control music and incoming calls. Just make sure your phone or whatever device you plan to use these headphones for support the correct profiles. Newegg’s shipping shines again, received these headphones in less then 2 business days!

Great headphones
Pros: NewEgg got this to me overnight for 3-day price! Music quality is great, but don't expect professional studio quality - that said, these easily best my last set of regular headphones that were $40 from a name brand. Wear this at work and when out for a walk and they're great, don't move around and always sound nice. Controls are easy to use.
Cons: A bit bulky, can leave the tops of your ears a bit sore, but only for a few minutes, nothing to worry about.
Other Thoughts: Been wearing large, over-the-ear headphones at work for years. Hated messing with cords. Now I don't and I love it. Also love that I can just take a call without having to pull off the headphones!

Its so great
Pros: Sound quality (4 out of 5), Range (5 out of 5), Battery life (5 out of 5), and Compatability (5 out of 5).
Cons: Uncomfortable after wearing on ears for to long
Other Thoughts: While the headphones are marked as bluetooth headphones, they can be more accuratly described as universal headphones. They come with a cord that can connect to almost any headphone compatible device as well as the bluethooth functions.

Wish they were black.
Pros: I use these to listen to music as I fall asleep. I like not waking up in the middle of the night choking to death on my headphone chords. Anyway, they are built very solid and have withstood 10 months of abuse. The range is excellent. The best maybe. Came with a cute little bag, girls love to ask what's in the bag.
Cons: Quiet. The only thing that really bothers me is that even on the loudest setting, I have to max out my MP3 players volume to achieve what I would assume to be considered a higher-medium. There is a .5 second delay/lag but that's the way it is with all blue-tooth streaming audio. Not a big deal unless you're obsessed with time. Aren't black.
Other Thoughts: The range of the headphones themselves are fantastic, but keep in mind, the bigger question is how far is your device transmitting? When using the DC800 (Motorola's stereo adapter) I can use my headphones all over the apartment. When using something like a Tapwave Zodiac, I have a range of about 30 feet, and cell phone's vary based on model and carrier. Keep this in mind when judging these headphone.

Get It!
Pros: Excellent Quality. Multi-point technology is nice. Good distance w/o breaking up. Nice controls.
Cons: Could be louder.
Other Thoughts: Never seen these in a brick & mortar store. Get the Sony TMR-BT8IP wireless Bluetooth Transmitter. This adaptor allows you to stream audio from an iPhone to these headphobnes via Bluetooth.

Experience w/ Mac OS X & Nokia N76
Pros: The sound quality is wonderful, the build quality feels sturdy, and even though the range doesn't extend through walls it's an amazing feeling to not be tethered to your computer! Being able to control your music from the device is wonderful. The automatic switching between cellphone and computer is a very nice bonus if you can get it working.
Cons: -1 Egg for discomfort. It's comfortable at first, but within an hour I begin to feel it pinching my ears. This may be due to the weight of the device and the material used. I plan to pad the contact point with cloth. -1 BluEgg for difficulties that aren't really the fault of this product itself, but other manufacturers; see below. Make sure that your device supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile - OS X users, you must be using OS X 10.5 for this. -0 for "blurry" audio quality when used as a headset. I didn't buy this to use it as a hands-free device and the fact that it can do it at all is still great to me.
Other Thoughts: If you use a Bluetooth mouse, beware. My Dell mouse typically won over the headset and would cause a change in pitch and frequent audio dropouts when moved. Others have reported that this issue goes away when their Bluetooth maker releases updated Bluetooth drivers - I've reported the issue to Apple, and hopefully it'll be fixed (for reference, I am on OS X 10.5.1).
The connection between the computer and headphones occasionally drops out due to inactivity, but it also seems to drop out when switching between certain applications (such as finishing a movie and Quicktime and then going back to iTunes - quickly resuming a song in iTunes sometimes overcomes this). Again, this is probably Apple's issue.
The simultaneous pairing between phone and computer isn't always smooth. Occasionally I have to initiate the pairing from the cellphone because the headset connects and disconnects (N76 firmware 31.0.014) - this is probably Nokia's issue.

Good audio, terrible mic, can get uncomfortable
Pros: Paired easily with several devices individually and simultaneously: laptop, cell phone, iPod+adapter, PS3. Considerably lightweight, decent range through walls. Charges quickly, and I've seen 8+ hours use without a problem. Controls all items (except PS3) just fine, and switches between music/calls just fine also. Comes with good accessories (cord for non-BT devices, USB charger...which works great for non-Motorola devices...and a carrying pouch that reminds me of the velvety bag that comes with a bottle of Crown Royal.)
Cons: They get uncomfortable somewhat quickly. The earpads are comfortable, but it's the plastic band above the ears that pinches after a while...maybe if they were a little thinner and/or padded it might be an improvement. The ears pads are apparently replaceable, as they seem likely to fall off. They haven't fallen off on me, but they twist into place and the twist notches don't secure it well enough. Mic quality is terrible...someone asked if I was in a tank. The forward/reverse buttons rattle if you're active with them, and that's annoyingly heard over the music.
Other Thoughts: I plan on returning mine because of the discomfort. I have used them frequently, but for the price I'd expect a little more comfort, despite knowing that most over-the-ear types like this are generally uncomfortable. In the past, I've used a hair-dryer to warm the plastic bands and re-shape them, which works great...but we're talking a 10-buck vs 70-buck toy. Still, I would probably recommend them to others given the trade-offs. The ability to connect them to non-BT devices with the included cord is a nice feature, as I fly fairly often and wireless devices aren't permitted.

Good product
Pros: Pairs with two devices at the same time (phone and music source), long battery life, good sound quality, reasonably comfortable. Mic is fine, despite what others said.
Cons: Nothing really.
Other Thoughts: I had Logitech pair for quite some time, but after it broke, I got this one. I use it to listen to music while I work with my laptop being the source. At the same time it's paired to my cellphone. Music playback stops when you take the call and automatically resumes when you hang up - very convenient. These headphones are a bit heavy to be worn 8 hours straight, but I am hardened by Logitech's, which were less comfortable. I recommend this product.

OK
Pros: Music sound quality, ease of operation, microphone quality, battery life.
Cons: Lack of adjustability, uncomfortable after 1 hr.
Other Thoughts: The comfort is the only problem I've had, otherwise I'd recommend them highly. I simply removed the pads and they are much better for my head.

Awesome, completely.
Pros: PC, laptop, cellphone, these are good with every piece of BT enabled equipment I own. They sound great, and they're comfortable. What else do you need?
Cons: They do tend to hurt after about an hour, but I tilt my head back, which readjusts the set and they're fine again. I can't play MP3's from my i870 through them, but that's due entirely to the deficiencies of the phone.
Other Thoughts: When I first paired them to my PC, they sounded terribly overdriven, but then I realized that I had left the EQ function of wmp11 on. Turned it off and they sounded great. I wish they could go a little louder...

Problems with Bluetooth Dongles
Pros: Comfortable; works well with Motorola E815.
Cons: My first pair would only play telephone-quality audio; high-quality audio mode would only play a second or so every 30 seconds, even with the “E” version (this could be fixed with a firmware upgrade for prior versions, but not after the “D” version. Returned for replacement and now I'm not able to get any sound. Tried several different computers with several different bluetooth dongles.
Other Thoughts: I had an IOGear headset that worked really well, but they broke. I thought I would "upgrade" with this brand/model, but they are a total disappointment.

great price, great sound, and very durable
Pros: great sound quality, great convinience compared to having an ipod and getting a call and having to switch in a hurry, i just listen to the number or name [if programed in my phone] and touch a button on the headphone. call quality's great as well. and quite durable, had them as long as my phone and my phone's already torn up. definately reccomend to anyone who has to juggle lots of calls and music in their life. not to mention, i can go for days without having to charge them in most cases =]
Cons: it's a little quiet, especially in calls, and tends to pick up odd sounds as well as my voice, such as a car passing by, the ac in my car, and quiet tvs. not to mention it's kinda odd walking around with fading off/on motorola "M's" on you in a low light area.
Other Thoughts: could have made them louder for music listening, but otherwise they're pretty amazing. definitely worth the little fee if you have to deal with calls interrupting your music life alot

Good Quality, but Big
Pros: Good music quality, easy to pair with phone. Great battery life.
Cons: A little big... feel heavy and uncomfortable after a few hours of listening. Mac OS X Doesn't support the A2DP (Stereo) profile... music sounds like a 1920s Recording if not using the Stereo profile. Reception can be a little flaky sometimes (Phone has to be on the right side of my body to avoid interference)
Other Thoughts: I like these... good quality, and it's great having wireless headphones. They are pretty thick (Read: Princess Leia). Make sure your device supports A2DP before purchase.

Rocks for Headphones, Litteraly Stones
Pros: They don't sound to awfully bad and are some pretty snazzy looking headphones. It was pretty easy to connect them to my laptops internal wireless bluetooth card too, just make sure you set it up using the "connect to a phone" instructions.
Cons: These are the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever worn. The rough plastic edge sits right on the top of your ear, and they become uncomfortable after only a few minutes of use. I don't think I'd be able to suffer through an entire movie.
I bought these to game with, but to this end these are useless. There is just enough lag between something happening, and you hearing it that it ruins the gameplay. My laptop only cones with three seperate options for headphones (like low, medium, premium sound or something) and it was the same with all settings
Other Thoughts: My laptop X206 s9349
I suppose if these things are comfortable to you then you could use them as headphones to listen to music with. The lad wouldnt matter for that. The sound quality was pretty good.

Very nice indeed
Pros: Very decent sound, for the technology. Works well, even on my i730, which shouldn't support A2DP... (thanks, Verizon)
Cons: Occasionally acts a little flaky switching between audio and hands-free, but it's a hacked driver: whadya want? A little uncomfortable on my tiny ears.
Other Thoughts: With just a little finagling, and Superdave's WM5 A2DP drivers, I have them paired with my Samsung i730. Have had very little trouble. High-bitrate mp3's seem to cut out more frequently, but think that's a processor or bandwidth issue.

Far exceeding expectations.
Pros: Easy setup and use. The buttons are well placed and function perfectly with my phone, as well as with my laptop computer. The fit is comfortable and they've held up quite well against my less than ideal usage conditions. Outdoor/recreational, perhaps a bit more damp than most hardware is designed for. So far no issues at all in that respect.
The sound quality is nothing short of superb, every bit as good as the wired earbuds that I'd been using prior to this. Clear sound with surprising strength of bass tones, and the microphone noise cancellation is second to none. I've made calls from the crowded, noisy food court of the local mall and been understood clearly on the other end.
Cons: They are a tad bulky over the ears, and as such don't make for a very professional look when you're around the office or such. People often refer to me as Leia when I'm wearing them.
The glowing bluetooth lights are a bit silly-looking as well, illuminating a Motorola "M" on either side of your head.

Just Awesome
Pros: These headphones are just outstanding for being a bluetooth product. Audio is crisp and clear with my laptop. The hands free calling features work very well. Range is also better than I expected. Worked out of the box with Vista Ultimage x64.
Cons: Audio from my phone does not sound as good as my from my computer, but it is a phone.... Hands free features take a little getting used. I could not get the headset to work with Windows XP x64, but that might be due to an incompatible bluetooth adaptor.
Other Thoughts: For the price, these are just outstanding.
Anyone complaining about sound quality is probably using a lower quality blue tooth adaptor.

Disapointing
Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: Horrible sound quality. Sounds like a very low bit internet radio stream.
Other Thoughts: I was expecting more from a name brand such as Motorola. This product certainly wasnt worth its high pricetag.

Teh Best!
Pros: Best headphones I have ever bought. Great sound. Paired with the Belkin F8t012 bluetooth dongle, and you can't lose. I exclusively use them here at work to listen to music, it's fun to go to the printer half-way across the office, while wearing you're headphones.
Cons: The only concern I have with them is the ear-pads are pretty loose - but it's not that big of a deal, they go right back on.
Other Thoughts: none - pick them up. You won't be disappointed.

Great headset
Pros: it is great. Seamless integration between my LG VX8300 and these headsets. No problems playing my music, then answering calls with this headset.
Cons: None yet.
Other Thoughts: To anybody saying these will not work with phones, (and that phones do not support music) are simply wrong. It is all in your phone, but my phone has no problem. Please keep uninformed reviews off of here.

Very Impressive!
Pros: Good sound, very comfortable, easy to use controls, can answer calls when used with a cell phone.
Cons: If you leave the set at your desk when you go to a meeting, your phone will lose it's Bluetooth connection. And then the music will start playing from your phone. And then your boss and everyone else will star at you while you frantically try to turn it off. This can be very embarrassing. Trust me! I know! :-(
Other Thoughts: I cannot vouch for the reliability since I have only had these for a few weeks. But so far there is no sign of wear or tear. If I lost this pair I would deffinately buy them again. Very nice!

DO NOT BUY HT820
Pros: Worked for as long as it lasted - one month
Cons: Poorly made and designed - uncomfortable to wear and prone to easily break - no warranty against breakage
Other Thoughts: I had this headset for about a month and my main complaint originally was that it was somewhat uncomfortable to wear. I then dropped the computer case in which I was carrying it and one of the two earpieces broke off. I called Motorola service and was told that their policy was not to repair or replace these headsets under warranty - PERIOD. There was no question of how it happened or why it broke - they WILL NOT REPAIR or REPLACE any of these headsets with physical damage.

Very Happy
Pros: Great Headset. I have both Plantronics Five-Ninety-A and the Two-Sixty and prefer this set over them. They stay on while I am walking or running, where the Five-Ninety's tend to slide off, and the sound is awesome with both the music and phone. For my computer, I use the MSI Star Key and all controls work flawless for pause, next chapter etc. Battery life is excellent. Pairing has never been an issue with the MSI, Cell phone or the Plantronics Five Hundred. I do not get the delay while watching a DVD, or television on these that I get with the other 2 headsets I own, which makes these even better.
Cons: They do take a while to get use to, you wear them as you would a pair of glasses, so you may get sore behind the ear, but a little adjustment of the headset will clear that up. (at least with me) Will not work while a charger is hooked up. I have the Tekkeon myPower 1500 to keep my other headsets charged, along with my MP3 player, in case the battery runs low while they are in use, but the 820 will not allow me to charge and play at the same time. Honestly, not a con yet since the battery life has gone for more than 10 hours on any given day. I would have liked them to be able to play while charging like the other bluetooth headsets I own.
Other Thoughts: I have paired it with my cell and use it with my Plantronics 510sl land line, the calls are clear and I'm able to move about the house in all rooms, even outside a good distance, to my surprise without issue. I use the adapter that came with my Plantronics, and ordered an extra adapter to use with 820, since the one DC800 isn't self power, the adapter works great without issue. If I had to use the DC800. then the Teekeon would power it and allow me to carry it without a power outlet, but that would be more to lug around then. I use them everyday and would buy another set if these were to wear out. So far these are the best I have ever used.

Great Buy
Pros: Performance is solid. Speakers are surprising and sound really good. Pickup from my *luratek adapter is very stable
Cons: any con with this headset is going to be something small. Yes they are a bit bulkier than some, but again the speakers sound really good.
Other Thoughts: Highly rated buy. Just realize these are more for entertainment/voip calls. I love my pair and have nothing but good words. I don't walk around the store with these things on I use them in my home and outside only.

Excellent Product
Pros: Excellent sound and easy to use, although I have not run into many problems with Bluetooth items. Work well while jogging.
Cons: You can't wear glasses with these, it really makes your head hurt. No glasses with the wrap arround ear pieces, Oakelys or something that has straight ear pieces are fine.
Other Thoughts: Excellent sound both ways, hearing and talking. I like the seperate controls for music and phone, works great with my UPSTAGE from Sprint.

overall good product
Pros: works with all my BT equipment (PDA, laptop, and cell phone). The play/pause, prev, and next buttons are really handy if you are listening to music and cant reach the source device. When making phone calls, the sound is in stereo. It comes with a cable that allows you to use them as standard headphones.
Cons: sound quality is lower than expected, but still acceptable. I had some driver issues at first with windows vista, but that cleared up with patience and several restarts. Documentation is a little thin, but it gets the job done. None of these cons were severe. I like this product very much.
Other Thoughts: this product and my BT mouse dont play well with each other. It's an issue with the computer, not the headphones. Any BT activity other than the headphones causes the headphones to cut out or never connect in the first place. so until I find a better solution, I just turn off the mouse and use the touchpad instead.

Sound great for the limited time I can wear them.
Pros: The sound of these headphones is great, very clear, crisp audio.
Cons: Maybe it is the shape of my head, but these are the most painful things I have ever worn and after 45 minutes or so I have a raging headache. Maybe my sister was right when she said I had a "big head". If they are comfortable for you then you have hit the jackpot but if your head is on the larger side you may have a problem

Nice, but don't lose the earpads
Pros: Does everything everyone has said. Easy to use. Remote controls work great with my LG8600 phone. I can leave the phone in my pocket and cotrol everything from the headset. The range and connectivity is much better than my single ear device I use in the car. Sound is very good.
Cons: 1. you will look like a space alien. 2. Because the earpads are neither over the ear or in the ear but are kind of "on the ear" they don't really fit well enough to isolate outside noises. I've used these at the gym as well as doing yard work and they stay on well enough but you can still hear a lot of background noises.
3. This is what I find amazing though.... as another reviewer mentioned, the earpads are removeable and will, somewhat too easily, twist off and fall off by themselves. That's what happened to one of mine and I lost it. Now the amazing part, Motorola says there are no replacement earpads available so they want me to send back the entire unit and they'll send me a new one. This is ridiculous but I have no choice and I have to pay the shipping to them..FedEx so it's trackable.
Other Thoughts: For stationary usage in the home (TV, Stereo, computer)or maybe on an airplane, etc. I think these are great. For activites like the gym, running, etc. they're not well suited. I'm looking at the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 based on other reviews I've read but I'll keep the motos for less noisy, more stationary usage where you are not also walking around in the general public looking like a borg.

Stereo bluetooth no_wires sweet
Pros: This device is comfortable, clean and sturdy play mono or stereo sweetly and with little noise or hissing or poping. I has lot of capability connects to my ppc 6700sp without a hitch but i had to down .netcompact framwork and BTAudio free v1.0 to get both my MMedia sound to play on it because they are separated on my ppc6700sp but after that sweet for both my ppc MWin Mmedia Player and my smart phone functions. they even both charge off the same type car adapter
Cons: Becarfull you make sure the ear pads are lock in tightly or they wil pop off when you play with them. It would be nice if it had great volume but it probably my ppc6700 but my computer was only a little louder with window media player 11 install same P3-100ghs with all the finer amenitys
Other Thoughts: be nice if it had a 100yard range like the new msi usb 3m adapter I pruchased to uses it on my desktop with will see tomarrow

noiiice
Pros: Great signal, good bass response, lets me switch between low quality headset mode and high quality headphone mode, allows for remote control of winamp (fast forward, pause, back) and overall works just as I expected. Does not cut out unless I am out of range or transferring data via bluetooth to my phone using up all 3mbit bandwidth of the USB bluetooth radio transmitter I also bought on here. Works great with Skype too.
Cons: Treble response is not the best but to be expected. Slightly uncomfortable around the ears, but you get used to it after wearing them for a while. Microphone is fairly quiet, but if you speak up then there are no problems. Microphone uses the SCO audio device only, so do not expect better than telephone quality microphone input.
Other Thoughts: Listening to music while in another room and able to switch over when a someone calls my cell is very nice to be able to do.

Motorola HT820
Pros: I found it comfortable, but it is a bit bulky. I have long hair so I dont know if putting the headset over my ears look better or under all my hair... The sound quality is much better than I expected. I dont have too much experience with headphone/headsets but I certainly have no issues with the quality.
Cons: I have a bluetooth adapter for my notebook but every second that its playing a song or an sound through bluetooth, it skips. Ive searched other forums about this problem and its not too common but it happens.
Other Thoughts: Apparently there is a firmware for the HT820 to fix this constant skipping, if any of you guys find it, help me out. Thanks... Otherwise I love it.

Excellent!!!
Pros: Great product, works perfectly once you get used to the settings. I am using with an Starkey 2 bluetooth adapter and it works great using the headset for messenger and the speakers for Warcraft. Not having wires is excellent.
Cons: Not a suggested product for the tecno-challenged if you are using it for voip or pc use. Ears will get sore after extended use but it's worth every penny.
Other Thoughts: The batteries last longer than my ears :)

Great!
Pros: Absolutely cordless. Battery length is incredible. Sound quality great (not exceptional, read on to see why). Absolutely perfect pairing ability and features.
Cons: Slight rasp in background sounds (such as cymbals on the drum. Not all high sounds or anything just a few). It's quiet, but noticeable if you're an audiophile. Blue Lights alternate (left to right, then right to left) every 6-10 seconds. Not extremely bright, but noticeable in the dark and looks ridiculous to those around you.
Other Thoughts: Overall very impressed with these headphones. I'm an audiophile, so obviously sound quality is the most important thing. As long as you're using an A2DP device (my Samsung Blackjack and my laptop+gaming rig all work perfectly as long as I use my BlueSoleil drivers on the laptop/gaming rig and not the standard Microsoft drivers) you won't have any trouble getting it all hooked up and working fine. Battery life is exceptional (rated at 14/17 hours. I'm currently at 13 and haven't had a problem yet. Listening around 1-2 hours a day between classes and walking around). Only noticeable problem is a few sounds (such as a tophat cymbal or other background sounds) produce a SLIGHT rasp but although noticeable it IS quiet and it's not for specific frequencies it seems. Great headphones for a great price.

nice headphones
Pros: Excellent conectivity and battery is durable. Have this connected to my motorola q and the hands free works well so does the music interface. Distance is also very outstanding.
Cons: Clarity is great but not perfect you can notice very slight crackeling with the treble.. hardly noticable but its there. Oh and it makes you look like a space man.
Other Thoughts: Design could have been better. I get strange looks wearing this around.. Looks awesome around your neck but when you put it on properly.. i get many "space kid" comments.

Best all around good A2DP Headphones
Pros: Charging is fast (even first charge). Battery life is good (one charge can easily outlast 2 full charges on my cell phone (Samsung D900). Music comes through very crisp and clear. Headphone controls are good and intuitive. Call quality is good and handoffs between listening to music and taking a call are done well. Amazingly compact given battery life and sound volume.
Cons: Volume doesn't go as quiet or loud as I'd like. Headphones might become uncomfortable after extended use or for some head shapes. Some lag in turning on, connecting to cell phone/bluetooth device, and using headset controls. Definitely drains battery on cell phone much faster (though this is more of an issue with Bluetooth/cellphone).
Other Thoughts: I looked around at A2DP Bluetooth (Stereo Headset profile) headphones before I bought this pair which were consistently the highest rated. Frankly, I set my hopes rather low considering the dearth of alternatives. Bluetooth adoption continues to amaze me by its slowness. That said, the HT820's achieve their goal admirably. They are reasonably priced, compact, and get rid of the wires! The fact that they have good battery life, deliver crisp sound across most frequency ranges, pair well with my Bluetooth devices, and look pretty good (IMO, of course) is very nice.
These are the most compelling A2DP headphones I've found and I'm very happy with my purchase. Newegg processed quickly and shipped as advertised.

Definitely worth it!
Pros: +Comfortable +Great Battery Life +Great Sound Quality +Easy To Use +Overall Great Quality Product +Linux/PC/Bluetooth Phone Friendly =)
Cons: -Somewhat New Technology (a2dp) (all bluetooth headphones will have this same issue!) Macintosh computers currently do not support a2dp (os x 10.5 leopard will) but most Windows XP bluetooth adapters will through a driver disc.) -Without A2DP sound quality is low
Other Thoughts: For the reviewer who thought this product was "misleading"-read about what you're buying! If your music player doesn't have integrated bluetooth it won't connect to bluetooth headphones! *You do NOT need to buy anything "special" to use this product. *To the reviewer who commented that the audio controls do not work in windows-They did for me.

Nice headphones
Pros: Wireless headset that syncs up with my razr phone with no issues. Also parties can hear me speak without any issues even though there is no boom. Sound through these headphones were better than expected.
Cons: Like everyone else is saying, the comfort level after hours of wearing them is hard on the ears. Also the headset sticks out far on your head as if you were princess lea. It seems windows default is to stream Audio in a low quality and you will need an A2DP program to adjust the quality to something higher. There are different ways to adjust the quality just look it up on Google. Not really the fault of the headphones though.
Other Thoughts: While using the Mic and headphones at the same time the headset uses a lower quality sound while on a call. I am guessing to split the bandwidth up from talking and listening which is fine. At first i couldn't get the high quality Audio while only listening to Music from my computers. This was fixed when I downloaded Bluesoleil, which made a higher quality stream which sounds great.

Great for what they are
Pros: Light, good quality sound, good battery life, convenient buttons, easy to use, comfortable
Cons: They get a little hard to wear after 4 or 5 hours in a row of constant use, but that's nit picking.
Other Thoughts: Let's be blunt: you compromise certain aspects of quality in order to get wireless headphones. That being said, if you understand that premise you will love these headphones. They are light, they don't weigh on your ears or drag you down. I use them at work most of the day while I am doing audits and I love them. The buttons most certainly do work with a PC. On the right side you have "Next," "Previous," and "Play/Pause." On the left you have the power/pair button and volume controls.
I had issues using them with the built in bluetooth on my Dell D620 and M$'s drivers, but as soon as I used WINCOMM drivers and my bluetooth dongle they worked perfectly the first time. It easy to set them up, but make sure if you use them on the PC to set the audio output device to BT High Quality audio. If they are disconnected your computer *should* default back to internal speakers (if it's a laptop). When you want to listen to music, make sure you connect them when WMP is closed, then open WMP.

Great device, if a bit clunky
Pros: Good music sound quality, good voice pickup even in my crowded cubicle farm of an office. Long range, nearly 50 ft. line of sight.
Cons: Heavy on the ears, not very flexible for large headed types such as myself, but they stretch as you wear them for a bit.
Other Thoughts: Works great with my Alltel branded Samsung u520 mobile phone. Also works with my Dell Latitude D620 and media player. Auto-pausing music during phone calls is a nice touch

misleading
Pros: bluetooth, pretty light for what they are
Cons: heavy on ear, only works for a couple of motos phones and that is it. no software for pc to use all the buttons, finily got to work with pc and worked good for about 5 min then it would play music for 3 secs n then nothing for 3 secs.
Other Thoughts: just over all doesnt stand up with motos standards

Just whats expected.
Pros: Does exactly what its intended to do. Range is more than needed. Easy to pair. Works as Headset/Headphones for computer. Long battery Life. Good Sound Quality.
Cons: Short Computer battery life, it gets cut in 1/2. Next Tract, and Back Track buttons dont work with the computer.
Other Thoughts: If you want wireless headphones get them. I should use the wire to connect to my computer on air planes. My phone V3i, isn't A2DP compatible.

misleading
Pros: it's bluetooth so there's no wires
Cons: just another bluetooth phone device. Motorola leads you believe you can listen to music right out of the box. NOT TRUE. You have to buy the DC800 another $50+ to use the music feature and then you carry yet another device around with you.
Other Thoughts: carry two devices and headphones or one device and headphones with a wire. Wish I would have know all this before buying. Now you do.

Stereo Bluetooth has arrived!
Pros: The headphones look great and are comfortable to wear. They charge with the same USB charger as my phone (HTC Apache) and will hold a charge for about a week of regular usage.
Cons: Occasionally when listening to music the audio will drop for several seconds at a time. This is really a risk with wireless audio in general however and not indicitive of these headphones on their own.
Other Thoughts: Great value. Easy to configure. Built in volume/track controls for music (assuming your device supports them) and decent (if not super hi-grade) sound.
These headphones make my daily bus commute a joy.

Awesome
Pros: Awesome Headphones. Light weight, long battery life, sound quality is great, microphone is great. Top quality product
Cons: Is not adjustable, so it may not fit on smaller or larger heads. Takes a while to get used to having on ears. Keeps your ears warm, but can make your ears sweat.
Other Thoughts: Great Product, awesome with the A2DP profile

Good Headphones
Pros: These headphones work great with my VX8300 - play music, answer calls, you can do it all. Good audio quality and AVRCP works great. Anyone disparaging the quality of these headphones must have had them on headset and not A2DP – on headset function the sound quality is not as good. A2DP also works well with Dell x51v and A2DP and headset both work with my PC – AVRCP can control WinAmp.
Cons: They aren’t the most comfortable headphones out there – there will be pressure points. My main critique applies to all Bluetooth headphones (as far as I know) – you cannot have stereo audio (A2DP) and use the mic (Headset) at the same time with a PC. I was hoping to use this for BF2142 but you have to choose between high quality audio and the mic. For gaming one still needs wired headphones. If there is a wall between the source and the headphones there will be dropouts - two walls = no luck.
Other Thoughts: You *can* turn off the flashing blue lights... they still look a bit funny (at least on my head) even though they are small enough. Not sure how the mic compares to other Bluetooth headsets – I’ve had people say I come in a bit less clearly versus not using a headset – but it does work.

Motorolla Bluetooth Stereo Headphone
Pros: These headphones paired right up with my Verizon VX8300 and with my computer via a cheap dongle running Blue Soleil software. I can listen to music on my computer whether on CD or MP3 and also listen to music stored on my cellphone's transflash card. The controls on the headset work great, e.g. when listening to music if a call comes in the music stops, the phone rings and you just push the left earpiece button to receive the call. When making calls just pust the left button and the voice command comes up. The top left buttons control the volume and the right buttons let you skip songs. With these headphones there's seldom any need to touch your phone. The sound quality is great for a bluetooth headset.
Cons: As with other reviews the headset gets a little uncomfortable after wearing for a couple of hours.
Other Thoughts: Ive been using this headset for many hours on their first charge since I got them so the battery life should be extremely good.

Headset is Great .. BUT!
Pros: This piece of equipment is great, it does everything that it is supposed to as well as being extremely easily synced with any of my devices
Cons: Headset is a little tight for my big head, but i'll get used to it, maybe with a foam wrap around the head piece
Other Thoughts: The motorola headset is only compatable with devices that support a2dp bluetooth technology. Some Motorola phones do support this, but only if the services provider is a GSM provider, not if they are a CSM. this means that the same phone from t-mobile, (razr, or krzr for example will work), however the same phone from verizon and cingular may not

The Good and The Bad w/ V3m
Pros: Good headset, comfortable, and they work great.
Cons: Despite Motorola website stating V3m compatible, along with some of their other stereo devices, the V3m only works for making calls. You can not listen to mp3s with these, which you maybe mislead to believe.
Other Thoughts: Better off getting a single ear headset, unless you have another need for blue tooth headset.

Works Great With Vista
Pros: Using the HT820 with a BTA-6030 USB adaptor and the latest Toshiba bluetooth stack(V5.10.01) on Vista Ultimate. Works great on both Media Player and Skype. Pairs up to both profiles at the same time just fine after a reboot.
Cons: Hurts the ears a little, but like all new headsets you just need to get used to it.
Other Thoughts: The range seems great. I can go anywhere in my house(3800sq.ft.) and it never gets staticy at all but part of that could be due to the BTA-6030 adaptor.

Good
Pros: works quite well paired with multiple devices (two cellphones, three computers) and switches between them seamlessly. Very good retention of sound (those around you will not be annoyed..at the music anyway..not having these headphones is their issue). Good support (WinXPPro) for media player and buttons on the headphones. Ear piece and rubber head band are both soft and comfy even for a shaved head. Range is impressive as well as ability to go through walls and doors. The 007 mini stereo jack was an extra bonus that, while it might not get a lot of use, is way better than digging out an old pair of phones to use with something not BT enabled.
Cons: They are a tad tight and slightly heavy but I say this only as a warning - it is not that bad. They are a little bulkier than I would prefer but given the functionality I am not that put off by it.
Other Thoughts: All in all these are shaping up to be a rather good set of headphones. Given the stereo av AND cellphone (call taking) support I see myself using these for a good long time before finding some form of replacement. Very worth the money and the time spent to write this review.

Not adjustable
Pros: Works as described. Good connection to my i607 blackjack. Sound quality good for both music and phone calls.
Cons: Not adjustable. As other reviewers have said these are too small for most people's heads (and necks). These headphones put a slow pressure on one's head that eventually hurts.
Other Thoughts: I am attempting to stretch mine out, by leaving them stretched over a wire frame. The plastic material of these phones may not deform easily though. I'll have to see.

Pros: Works Well (as long as you know how to use them)
Cons: Bulky and heavy on/around the ears.
Other Thoughts: To the T-Mobile guy/reviewer and all other people with the MDA: These headphones DO work with the MDA (that is - they also work with windows media player on the MDA). If you have an MDA, then you're a T-Mobile customer and you can log into "my tmobile". Then you gotta click on "support for my device" and then find and click on the "downloads" for your device (i.e. the MDA). Basically, the download upgrades the default operating system (the upgrade WILL ERASE ALL DATA STORED ON YOUR DEVICE, so back it up first). The upgrade includes new features, one of which allows "streaming audio over bluetooth" (or something technical like that), which was introduced only after the first MDA's were sold.

Problems
Pros: Great look, cool lit blue M logos...
Cons: Little heavy on the ears
Other Thoughts: I have the Tmobile MDA and you cant use these to listen to music (using Windows Media Player). They work as just a Bluetooth Headset... Works great with my computer (HP)! Wait for the techology to improve!

Greaaaaaat
Pros: Great sound works well with my Cincular 3125 smart phone. Best sound I've heard from "average" headphones and better than any bluetooth headset that works with a phone.
Cons: A little uncomfortable around ears, but keep bending gently and eventually they fit.
Other Thoughts: Had to return first set because when connected to a wire the sound was reversed: left went to right ear and vice versa.

Surpassed expectations
Pros: Surpassed my expectations for audio quality and ease of use. Works great with my Inspiron 9300 with built in bluetooth.
Cons: sort of heavy and bulky but what can you expect from wireless headphones.

Great Sounding Headset
Pros: This headset sounds great. Nice stereo sound, high quality. Works with non-stereo phones in mono headset mode too. Long talk time up to 17 hours, 12 hours with stereo music. Includes wire to plug into non-bluetooth devices and for use on airplanes.
Cons: I little uncomfortable. I'm going to try putting some rubber pads on the temples.
Other Thoughts: For all that commented here about poor sound quality you don't understand the technology. You need to use a phone or device that supports the A2DP bluetooth profile (see Wikipedia) in order to get high quality stereo. If your phone, PC or device does not support A2DP you will only get mono sound from the Headset profile. Many PC bluetooth dongles do not support A2DP but the Motorola PC850 does. I actually think that supporting both profiles is an advantage. I use this headset with my LG cell phone which supports A2DP and has an MP3 player. But at the same time I can also use it with my Blackberry business phone to receive phone calls. Although its only mono it still sounds better than my other bluetooth headset.

Great Headset
Pros: Lightweight high quality bluetooth headset that has a microphone. For calls: better than one ear headset because they are louder (using both ears) - however they may be illegal used in the car. Great for using phone as MP3 player. Can be used on the PC for Skype too!
Cons: Didn't connect with MSI Star Key 2.0 dongle but maybe Motorla and MSI have fixed that. Recommend getting it with the Motorola dongle if you are using it with the PC.
Other Thoughts: I work for Motorola devolping the new cell phones and have used these for over a year even before they were released. I'm impressed with the price here.

Very nice!
Pros: I think they look great, and actually, I think they sound great too. Very wide response range. I'm not sure if there are manufacturing defects that may cause problems with the sound in other user's sets, but mine sound great, and it was fairly easy to setup with my phone. Fit snugly enough that I will never worry about them if I am working in the yard, running or excercizing. Also includes a mic so that I can use them to talk on my phone too, EVEN if Im already listening to music!
Cons: Can be a bit uncomfortable for some people (I'm sure it depends on the person's head). The "over the ear" design can cause some discomfort on my ears, but its minimal and somewhat adjustable.
Would have been nice if they included a Bluetooth Adapter so I could use them wirelessly with my PC or other USB enabled device. They are cheap enough to include.
Other Thoughts: Overall, I think these are a great buy. In fact, Im buying 2 more sets right now for holiday gifts.

Painful on and to your ears
Pros: -wired option for 'legacy' connections -stays securely on head (might be able to run or bike without falling off) -comes with a pouch that features a hidden pocket for your BT adapter
Cons: -poor sound quality -uncomfortable -looks kinda funny when worn
Other Thoughts: These could've been awesome but were a bit of a disappointment. Firstly, the sound was poor; I thought maybe it was because of the bluetooth so I wired them up directly and they still sounded awful. I have a pair of ancient no-name headphones that sound better than these, ugh. Secondly, they are uncomfortable, and after 30min. they get PAINFUL, again, ugh. And lastly, though not Motorola's fault, I have a ton of bluetooth problems: WinXP BT drivers wouldn't show the HT820 A2DP profile, so I disable M$'s drivers and install the software that came with my Iogear BT dongle. I got it working, sort of... there's ~300ms delay and 3 out of 4 pairings I'd get an awful stuttering effect, and even when I got a successful pairing it would get ruined if I changed from one audio program to another (e.g. DVD<->Winamp<->UT2004). There's probably a fix but I haven't found it and I've looked. :( Disappointing.

Great!
Pros: I love this headset. I use it with my MDA and listen to music or my audio books at work.
Cons: These would be better if adjustable, little heavy on my small ears.
Other Thoughts: Newegg has great prices and excellent shipping!!!

Recommended
Pros: Good sound quality (better than I expcted), comfortable to wear, good battery life. Bought these to pair with my Gateway tablet PC. They connected first time and have worked great since then. Really cool to wear on the bus! Recharge through any USB port.
Cons: No way to know how the state of the battery. I carry my headphones in my backpack and it's easy for the buttons on the side to get pressed. Several times I have found the headphones turned on when I take them out. There's a very slight clicking noise in one earpiece if I listen really hard. Not sure if it's the headphones, the laptop or the software. Not really noticeable but can be picked up especially in quiet sections. They are comfortable to wear but let in quite a lot of ambient noise.
Other Thoughts: My Gateway PC insists on pairing with the headphones as a headset (i.e.e with microphone), so I can't pair my phone with the headset as well. I'm ok with that, and it's probably a laptop problem, but if you want to pair with both you may be disappointed depending on the devices involved. The headphones pair immendiately with the laptop but if I play music it then comes out of both the laptop speakers and the headphones - not good on the bus! I have to double click on the headphones icon in My Bluetooth Places to get it to "connect" and then the music just comes out of the headphones. I need to spend more time playing with them as I may have it setup wrong. The documentation that comes with the headset is pretty lite.

Just Not Worth the Cash
Pros: Looks pretty cool and is easy to use. Friends couldn't even tell I was using a Bluetooth headset.
Cons: This works just fine for phone calls. However, it's supposed to be for music as well. That's where it falls short - way short. I purchased this along with the Home Stereo Adapter DC800. Sound quality is awful despite the fact that the two products are made to be a pair. Audio sounds "washed out" like very low-quality MP3s or poor FM radio reception.
Other Thoughts: If you just need a Bluetooth headset for phone calls, try the HS820 for under $xx instead. If you're looking for wireless headphones for your home entertainment system there are much better RF options for the same price or less.

Works very well
Pros: Very good sound quality. Easy to setup. Auto connects when turned on. Can be charged with a usb cable. Seems well made. Has much better range then my previous bluetooth head set.
Cons: It can become uncomftable after about 2 hours.
Other Thoughts: This is a very good buy for the price.

You're Just What I Need
Pros: Great sound, good fit, easy controls, easy easy set up. Perfect for MP3 phones, if your phone supports A2DT Bluetooth.
Cons: The off button and the call button are the same thing so you end up making calls to people when you try to turn off the headphones. Ear got a bit sore after 5 hours.
Other Thoughts: Bought these to go with my LG Chocolate becasue the LG ear buds are horible. These headphones work absolutely perfectly with the my phone. Don't know about the mic and call features because appearing to talk out loud to yourself makes you appear insane. Efficient and futuristic yes, but insane none the less.

Great Design...
Pros: The best sound quality, Nice design, Works with non bluetooth(via audio connector). Phone and media buttons placed well.
Cons: Poor construction(ear covering & logo fell off)-Glued back on. Gets uncomfortable after an hour or so.
Other Thoughts: This item is great. If it had been put together right, I would've given it a 5. Motorola has always led the bluetooth market, they need to work on quality control.

Best Headphones I've Ever Seen
Pros: Best sound quality I've probably ever heard in my life, no matter how you wear them. Music has never sounded so good ever in the past. The phone quality is outstanding, I see no extra delay due to it being Bluetooth and the mic pics up your speech perfect. I've used them for hours continuously with no drop in performance; I only saw a performance decrease after using them for a while then leaving them on standby for days. The cushions on them are comfterable and help keep the sound in, and the bass sound is amazing for these headphones being so small.
Cons: This may just be my drivers, but with my laptop there is a minor delay in the sound, which may not make these the best for gaming. I also had trouble getting these to work correctly on my desktop, but this may have been due in part to my cheap USB Bluetooth adapter. It all depends on your hardware and software. With a commonly used Bluetooth management software on my laptop and a USB Bluetooth adapter I could not get this to work well, however on my laptop with built in Bluetooth and good software it worked flawlessly the first time in every aspect. They also get slightly uncomfterable after long periods of extended use, or at least they are the way I normally wear them.
Other Thoughts: For what I use these headphones for the pros far outweigh the cons. The sound quality is the best out there and the headphones work perfect. One thing to consider is that their Bluetooth security code is 0000, whereas some standalone hardware out there uses different codes such as 1234 or 8888. They also may be a loose fit on some people, but this can be overcome fairly well by positioning them so they are angled lower. I recommend these headphones to anyone; for being outstanding quality headphones with the best sound quality, their price is amazing.

Best thing since penny candy
Pros: I think they are SWEET. They round out my Q to a one device does all unit. You can receive or make a call while listening to music; the music pauses and picks up where it left off after the call. And simultaneously be browsing the web, working with email, playing a game or whatever. Good volume and sound quality.
Cons: I don't like the blue light show that goes on while they are turned on. I would rather be more discrete.

Great Headphone!!
Pros: Very useful headphone. Once connected you could use it with a click. One side conects to your media, the other to use with your cellphone or VOIP. Easy to setup, good for listen to whatever plays on the computer. Walking around the house is not a problem, you cand still do whatever you want listening to it without disturb nobody else around you, reason why I bought it (LOL).Now I won't be disturbed by my roomate in the morning anymore. He likes to watch morning news online and I like to stay in bed until late That's why "I" bought it for him. He loves it,and I can sleep! It's a great buy!!!
Cons: size not adjustable, a little heavy but not a big deal. If having more than one account on the same computer it won't work, unless you separate one ID for media, the other for VOIP
Other Thoughts: WHoever says it doesnt have good audio quality didn't setup correctly. You will need to conections: one to use as headphone, and another separate to use the the microphone that i didn't even know it had. Really discreat!

Cool and handy
Pros: Cool look, great sound, comfortable fit. Works even with BT 1.1 if used with BlueSoeil soft!
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: Doesn't work with VZW v3m - not Moto's fault, though. You HAVE to have a AV (A2DT) BT profile for HQ stereo sound. Ot it will sound like bad FM.

Gotta Love Wireless
Pros: Wireless of course! Easy to setup and use! Volume can get very loud, which is good for running at the gym.
Cons: A little crackle at high-frequency using 192Kbps MP3's, so I'm not sure if it's the headphones or the bluetooth bandwidth, or maybe something else.
Other Thoughts: I'm using this device on my Treo 650 with the SoftTick Audio Gateway. I was tired of using wired headphones and accidentally knocking my phone off the treadmill when my hand would catch the cord.

Excellent headphones!
Pros: Excellent sound quality, range, and battery life with both my Toshiba Tecra M4 and my LG PM325 phone. Was able to pair with both (almost) immediately, Tecra required application to turn of SCMS encryption requirement. Worked great afterwards!
Cons: When computer is paired with bluetooth keyboard/mouse and headset at same time, it would occasionally get laggy. After deleting and re-pairing the headphones, worked fine again.
Other Thoughts: Would definitely suggest these headphones. As one of the few BT headphones available, it's an excellent choice.

Mainly for PC Usage
Pros: Good sound quality on my PC in headphone mode. Alright osund quality on headset mode (yes there is a built in mic!) I bought this headset primarily for in game PC chatting. Read cons!!
Cons: If you use any other BlueTooth enabled devices this device may slow them down. I also bought recently the Logitech MX5000 desktop combo (mouse and keyboard). I also use those for gaming just like this headset... but when the headset is connected to the computer it makes my BlueTooth Logitech mouse lag really bad... and that's not good when you're playing high speed gaming FPS online! I prolly will not use this headset for in game chatting now due to that exact reason. Good thing I have an iPaq PocketPC in need of a good headset!
Other Thoughts: Not a good gaming headset when other BlueTooth devices are in use. Also, no PC connectivity help is included AT ALL!! If you intend to use this device with your PC you will need a BlueTooth enabled PC (or USB adapter.)

V3M Phone? DO NOT BUY THIS!
Pros: Recharagable wireless headset. Works to make calls.
Cons: If you own the V3M Multimedia RAZR phone, do not buy this headset thinking you can listen to music wireless. The V3m, as I discovered speaking with Motorola Tech Support, does not support A2DP bluetooth, which is required to listen to music on this phone. So despite the claim on the box "Enjoy wireless music without missing a call", all you can do is make calls, when you try to play music, it plays only through the speaker on the phone. NO Wireless Music.
Other Thoughts: A very negative experience with Motorola Support (long waits on hold, and they disconnected me twice while trying to transfer me to customer support). Newegg was great handling the RMA.

Great Price Great Product!!
Pros: Sound Quality from my Ipaq is amazing! Blows away the HP BT Headphones! Comfortable on my head!
Cons: Only thing, they stick out a little wide on the head.
Other Thoughts: The HP product cracked after very little use. Design is very ridgid. In comparison the sound is also much better. I did not try the microphone function.

Dont buy
Pros: Sounds good when connected using a cable or usb.
Cons: Horrible sound over bluetooth, HORRIBLE! Worse than am radio quality not kidding. You need bt 2.0 to use these, dont buy them for a cell phone they will only work as a headset as no cell phone out in the US has bt 2.0. Not very loud.
Other Thoughts: stick to wired for now, or if your bent on wireless go with logitech's version. RF headphones also work allright, just dont buy these!

Never buy this headphone if you want to listen to music
Pros: Stereo headphone and headset 2 in 1
Cons: The sound of music is unbearable for me. If you connect the enclosed audio cable to your audio player, you can tell this headphone is not too bad. So I believe Moto has limited the bluetooth transfer rate and compressed the music bitrate! There are unbearable noise at high frequency, just like a 64kbps mp3! I owned the logitech bluetooth stearo headphone also whose sound is much much better than this pair.
Other Thoughts: If you need to make phone call, you don't need stereo headphone. If you need to listen to wireless music, this headphone is noising (for me).
Also, their's no sound notification if you turn the headphone on or off while Logitech's BT headphone has very clear hints.
Overall, I totally suggest you not try this pair, esp. with such a high price.
Also, newegg don't allow online RMA for this headphone.

Sounds Like I'm R2-D2
Pros: Wireless! Works w/ Skype, Ventrillo, and MSN Messenger. Battery life is great for my gaming needs.
Cons: I sound like a robot to my audience. The wrap around headband is murder on the ears.
Other Thoughts: Wireless is convenince and out weighs the crackling output my friends hear. A more comfortable headphone material should have been used instead of the skin blistering plastic mold.

Pros: Wireless!!! You gota love BT! Sound is AMZ'n I have use this on my E1705 w/ TM350 BT card. Sound has improved since I updated my BT Stack. You can't sound. I also have played CS, CS: Source, F.E.A.R., Doom3 and Battlefield 2 on these headset and they sound just as good as my wired xxx$ Sony's.
Cons: Alittle hiss at the end of each word when using it with a cell phone. Tested on a Motorla V3c. Also they get in the way if you have glasses... just a bit. Ear's get sweaty when using them for along time.

Bad for PC
Pros: Easy to set-up and mic is very clear.
Cons: Bad for PC or gaming. I have tried these with Counter-strike and WoW. It sounds ok but faint. If you are a gamer I would suggest trying the plantronics bluetooth over these. Has a slight hum in the speakers from time to time. I even played music over these and they just seem like cheap speakers. Not very good sound quality in my opinion.
Other Thoughts: Slightly uncomfortable. Really wish I did not purchase these headphones. Seems like they should be used for cell-phones only. I wouldn't suggest purchasing these.

Sweet
Pros: These rock, simply put. Myself and a co-worker got Ericsson K750i's and wanted to listen to our music from them, we got these only to find out the phone doesn't support it. We bought BT USB adapters for our PCs, works perfectly. I got an iPaq, supports stereo audio while i'm on the bus etc etc, and when i get home, connect to my computer, and I have full stop, play, pause, and skip controls for Winamp!
Cons: Little heavy, the little rubber bits that go just behind the peak of your ear were hurting at first, and I couldn't wear them for more than a few hours without being in pain. After breaking in, they're fine.
Other Thoughts: Make sure what you want to use these for supports the bluetooth protocols for what you want to do with them first. You won't be disappointed in these headphones. P.S. I got over 2 weeks in lifetime out of these with random usage for a few hours at a time, and even left them in standby for almost a week of that time.

Execellent Headphones
Pros: NO WIRES!!! Works with every bluetooth device I have tried to pair it with. Comfy design, can be worn with glasses. Good sound, great for gaming, or cellphone. Possibly the last set of headphones you will buy. Ablity to swap between cellphone and music rocks. Great Price.
Cons: Not all devices support the A2DP Profile in bluetooth, therefor you need to upgrade the bluetooth stack or be content with mono sound. Poor documentation. Wish they were a bit lighter and less thick. You look like a controler from star wars whering them. Better volume controls would be nice.
Other Thoughts: These are about one of the coolest pieces of technology I have come across in awhile. Can't beat the price and the quality out of them is great. Highly Recommended.

Worth it
Pros: Clear sound. No tickiness. Works well with Pocket PCs using Widcomm BTHQA-enabled stack (A2DP/AVRCP), including iPAQs, and even Dell Axim X50/WM2003SE with HP's SP3003 BT driver. Night and day difference between this (good) and the HP BT phones (terrible).
Cons: Wasted a C note on the HPs, which are useless.
Other Thoughts: Nice build quality.
