I use this product coupled with Skype as my primary phone. I have had no problems and great call quality every time. Any degradation in call quality is because other applications on my computer are using most of the bandwidth needed by Skype.
I use this product daily with voice recognition software. In fact, I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to type this review. These two products work flawlessly together.
I use this product almost daily to listen to MP3s while I work in the garden or work around the house. I have a concrete block house and I can get about 50 feet away from my base station. The only degradation in quality is when I walked near the electrical panel leaving my backdoor or when I'm near the microwave while it is on.
The battery life for this product is as advertised. I can use it all day long before it needs charging.if, on the day I don't use the headset much, I do not need to charge it at night.
overall, I'm very happy with this product. If this company ever creates a wireless headset that works as well but doesn't look as stupid I will buy one.

I bought this headset for daily use at work with my Skype business line. Has a good battery life, great sound clarity, good microphone settings. Comfortable to wear, even for extended periods, both sides move up and down to adjust. My only negative is that it will sometimes get a little buggy when I plug it in to charge while wearing it (which you can do). The usb dongle has a 2 foot wire to the antenna, then a 2 foot cord to plug into the headset. Works with Vista 64bit.

I've had this headset for a couple of weeks now so I figured I have enough experience to write a bit of a review.

The sound quality on the earphones is actually quite good ... music and voice come through with good fidelity. I was pleasantly surprised at how well music sounds with these ... no problems there. The range, in the house, is good ... I can go to any room around the house (~30 feet or so and a couple of walls) w/o drop-outs becoming an issue. If I go outside, it seems to drop-out more quickly. If I turn on the microwave, interference causes major drop-outs unless I stand at least 10 or more feet away from the microwave.

I did have a problem recharging the headset the first time. Here's the thing ... if you run it all the way down to the point that it starts giving the low-battery warning beep, it seems to need to be connected directly to a USB port on the computer to successfully recharge. Connecting it to a USB extension cable or a USB hub seems to work it you're recharging before the warning beep starts but connect directly to a computer if you hear the warning beeps. Don't ask me why ... this is just what I've found from experience. Battery life seems to be good ... close to if not at what is advertised (~ 5 or 6 hours.)

Comfort is reasonable. Don't expect to wear it for marathon sessions of 5 or 6 hours but wearing for short periods ... an hour or two ... is comfortable enough. Longer than that and it starts hurting my ears. Probably could use some thicker ear-padding to wear it longer.

Now, here's why only 3 stars ... the reason to buy this particular unit is to be able to go wireless with both listening AND talking. The problem is that, while the mic works fine the majority of the time, at other times it sounds like I'm talking through a fuzz box or drops out almost completely. That sort of defeats the purpose of using the unit for Skype-ing or other input/output systems.

So, if you want a reasonably priced set of decent sounding wireless headphones, you could do worse than these. If you're wanting a reliable wireless mic system, however, you may need to look elsewhere.

I am not a techie, so I don't know all the expectations some could have about an appliance like this. I live in the desert close to several other houses and feel funny playing my weird music for all to hear. I live with this contraption every day; I am completely in love with it. I can work around my house, dance around my house, lie comfortably in bed, listening to whatever I want, as loud as I want, for a long as I want. It just doesn't get any better than that.

These headphones are great. I got them mainly for gaming and listening to music. the sound is pretty good, not the best i have ever heard, but plenty good for the price. Its awesome being wire free and just being able to walk around while talking to people and listening to music. They fit just right, not to tight and not so loose that they fall off whenever you bend your head down. One thing I don't like about these is the volume button. I really wish they had made it a wheel instead of a clicker button (if you know what i mean) also when you adjust the sound on these you are controlling the computer volume and not the headphone volume which isn't that big a deal. Definitely recommended.
