I use these headphones at work to listen to itunes via Bluetooth, When I get a call on my cell, the music stops and the call comes through to the headphones. The headphones are very clear with the music and the phone, They are much better then I originally thought. Would definitely recommend, Great product.

This is the best set of head phones I have ever owned. There is no interference from static producing machines such as vacuums, sanders, microwave ovens and on and on. Plus the range of travel one has from the sending unit is very good and again, no interference from usual sources such as metal roof tops, electrical wires etc.This set fits well on my head so I can work in them, has a very far range and is not affected by static sources. The Rolls Royce of wireless head phones. If their were six or seven stars or ten stars, I would give this all of them.The best of the best.

I bought this to use at work, hooked up to my computer. I work in an area where there are LOTS of computers all around, and even though my head is only about 3 feet away from the base, depending on how I move, I get horrible bursts of static. When it's clean... it's not bad. But the bursts of static hurt my ears to the point that I gave up on them.

I was worried these would be uncomfortable to keep on my ears for a long period of time...they are not. I lay in bed and watch TV without any discomfort. They do not completely block out all the outside noise, as I'm sure a more expensive pair designed for that purpose would, but they block out enough that I can easily hear the television. Just make sure the TV or electronic you are going to use them with has an "Audio out" or "Headphone" jack.

These headphones were a bargain compared to what I was quoted at the dealership I bought my vehicle at. They are good, basic IR headphones, easy enough for my 8-year-old to operate. The sound volume is not as loud as the one's that came with my car. However, they are comfortable and do the trick.

Good Quality Sound, Quick Setup, and they WORK. I use them when I want to tune out the other noises in my house that annoys and distracts me when Im trying to watch TV.

These headphones are very disappointing---they do work, but just barely. Buy them if you like to listen to the radio on top of your tv, and static with your ipod.

I purchased these for my computer as there are often many different activites going on in my home at the same time. I liked them because they cover the whole ear and block out noise from these other things. The sound quality more than exceeded my expectations especially for the price. The range is very good. I was able to go upstairs and still get clear reception. The only drawback I can see is that they are not adjustable to smaller heads. So they do not fit the grandkids.

We like the headphones alot as it allows two of us to be watching two different shows in the near vicinity of one another.
It is a little bit of a process each time to turn on the headphones. Turning on the base for the headphones and then setting the TV to switch over requires going into the menu system and then after you have to re-enter the TV menu system to switch back off the headphones. It would be nice if you just turned on the headphones and the TV would automatically make the adjustment, like my Blackberry does when I plug in headphones.

The microphone gain on these is very low. You will have to yell for the other end to hear you! They are also not great if you plan on using them during active workouts since they are a bit too heavy to stay on the ear. THEY DON'T USE A STANDARD USB connector to charge! I HATE that - yet another cable to carry around. Forget about it!
Look at the Kensington bluetooth stereo headphones with microphone to solve both problems. Don't buy the Motorola ROKR S9 - they are flawed and will break! I had to return two sets.

I bought these for use in the car. (Yes, I know you're not supposed to wear headphones while driving, but I decided that this is daft. You can legally conduct a conversation but not listen to music through a bluetooth headset? Ridiculous. Talking is more distracting and thus more dangerous to yourself and others. As for the emergency vehicle argument, I usually listen to my music loud enough with my normal car speakers that I sometimes don't hear the sirens on an ambulance, police car or fire truck until they are close by, and that is perfectly legal)
The sound quality is definitely up to Sennheiser standards for this type of earphone. That is to say, they are as good as all the other types I have ever tried, and that is a lot. I have some $400 in-ear earbuds (Shure E5c) that are better, predominantly in the bass tones, but that is, in my opinion, mostly because they are right inside my ear canal!
I also have some very good traditional cans, including the Grado SR225 and SR80, and those

I've tried countless stereo (A2DP profile) Bluetooth headsets and this one stands out from all the others for several reasons. Other than being a tiny bit flimsy feeling, this headset takes the prize for just working, virtually all of the time, for the common use cases for a wireless headset: 1) Listening to music/podcasts throughout the house/office 2) taking and making calls seamlessly and untethered, and 3) as a PC/Mac headset and headphone (and yes, it works great with Skype).
Here's how the DR-BT22IK/B breaks down:
PROS:
- The included iPod/iPhone dongle to add A2DP (stereo Bluetooth profile) to the Apple device requires no battery or charging, it actually draws enough power from the device itself through the dock connection. And it does NOT increase the rate of power drain noticeably. Just one less device to charge, an incredible feature by itself. And it's tiny, the smallest A2DP transmitter I've seen.
- Works just fine with the iPhone 3G, though you'll get a message that

These headphones have very, very low volume and transitively terrible quality music. You can't expect much from low end wireless headphones but I would suggest you order the Insignia Wireless headphones, whether you get them for 10 bucks used on here or retail for 25 bucks more than this pair. It's worth it even in that case. These headphones are just no good.
They do everything they claim to, and maybe the maximum decibel capacity is even listed here, but I didn't see it, and I was very disappointed. You cannot passionately listen to any music at this volume, and volume aside the music gets fuzzy during any slightly loud part of a song. Might be okay volume for talking on the phone, but even then I suspect I'd keep asking my friends to repeat themselves. Really-- the max volume is THAT low on these bashful little wastes of money.
Go with these if you want low-end wireless headphones for music: Insignia Stereo Bluetooth Headphones NS-BTHDP With those, you can't switch between phone and

SHORT STORY: The price for these is excellent and aside from a few minor annoyances and minimal 5.1 surround, six months later I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend these to anyone.
Rating: I gave it 5 stars because I think these have a 5 star "value" rating. There are flaws but what they offer for the price is worth 5 stars in my opinon. If they were any more expensive, I'd lean towards a 4 star rating.
Quality: There's only one pair reviewed better and they are kind of ugly (the Pioneers). They're also much more expensive. I thought hard about them though.
I bought these about six months ago. The confusing part was the dual manufacturer name. It seems like Acoustic Research (AR) is carried in retail stores, but online retailers list this product as an "Audiovox". The cool thing is, online these are half the price of retail stores! I saw these on the Best Buy website for $399!! After ordering these from here, everything came labeled "AR" - funny.

I am past 60 and for my age, my listening is worsening day by day that too after a surgery on my right ear. Earlier I used to enjoy TV programs (like Discovery, National Geography, HBO, Star Movies etc) almost till midnight.
Nowadays the TV programs are becoming more and more garbled (to me !) and couldn't enjoy the music and understand dialogues. I thought I have to settle down for the rest of my life with this deficiency.
I heard about wireless headphones which can be used for listening to TV programs. I read all reviews about Sennheiser wireless headphones and the almost unanimous recommendations by users.
Earlier days it was difficult to get these world class electronic devices in India. However things are improving and to my surprise I could get this headphone slightly above the international price (Rs. 3,500 equivalent to about $ 75).
I have used this for the past 2 weeks and I think I have made the right decision to go ahead with Sennheiser. Once I wear this and listen to

These little cans are absolutely superb. I just got them, charged them up and listened to them. Within the first few seconds I heard sound wirelessly like I never thought was possible. Simply stunning reproduction. I also own what I would consider (as well as others) as "reference standards" audiophile wired headphones, Sennheisers HD650 and while not quite as flat or with the rich bass as the HD650's, the MXW1's are very, very close.
I was very nervous about spending $500 on theses, but you will definitely hear the $$$ difference between these and the $200 hi-end bluetooth alternatives. I am sure the Kleer technology used by these (vs. bluetooth) is the key difference in the sound reproduction (uncompressed vs. compressed transmission).
Other perform points such as distance and comfort were very good to excellent, although I can imagine possible less comfort for those with very small ears. The "twist-to-fit" mechanism seem large even for me, but after 2 hours of continuous use,

The sound was awesome on the headphones, but after wearing them for just a few minutes my ears hurt. The band that connects the two earphones isn't flexible at all so it isn't adjustable to my head/ears.

Bought to use with my Dell laptop, but was not compatible. Tech support was worthless. Gave headset to my daughter who had no problem connecting within minutes to her sager laptop. The price is right, but don't expect them to work with everything.

While in the warranty the head set broke just above the yoke holding the right can. I drove 100 miles to a authorized customer service site and was told to call California. California said to send the head set in after I described the problem. The head set was returned in the same broken condition with no explanation. I called Customer service in California again and was told the warranty didn't cover breakage. I explained there had been no abuse but they didn't care and would only offer to sell a new head set for almost the price of the complete new unit. I used tie wraps to put the thing together. Yesterday the other side broke in the same place. It appears to be a severe design flaw. It also would be nice to have a stand to store the headset when not in use that would keep the batteries recharged.

Everything excellent . The installation was simple with clear and accurate instructions. I use the headset with my desktop. It allows remote control of media player and excellent for VOIP applications such as skype.
