(4 out of 5)Awesome idea, most phones incompatible
This is an AWESOME bluetooth headphone set, but the technology is far too new to be compatible with most users' devices. For example, I have a Nokia N80, so I wasnt able to enjoy the AVRCP or A2Dp bluetooth technologies. Basically, A2Dp gives you high quality stereo audio, and AVRCP lets you control your phone with the headphone buttons. My phone doesn't support either, so I was left with disappointing audio that was not in stereo. I'm sure the quality is much better if you have a compatible phone, such as a Nokia N95.
Additionally, the volume button does NOT change the volume on the device, it can only change the volume the headphones play at, so you will have to use your device to change your true song volume (in my case, my phone).
I was very surprised at the dimensions of the actual unit itself, its about the same as the dimensions of my thumb, so if you want to keep it underneath your shirt, you will be able to see the outline of the unit.
A (very stylish!) charging dock is supplied, with extra earbuds for the earphones and a small case to keep the earpeices in.
All in all, I recommend this product for those that want a high quality wireless solution for their audio devices, but please DO check if your device supports A2Dp and AVRCP bluetooth profiles.
(4 out of 5)Sony DR-BTNX20 in combination with an HTC/Qtek S200
I've used this very nice device for over 2 weeks now in combination with my HTC device.
My overall experiences are possitive.
Comment on the sound when playing music:
Possitive: Overall sound fairly good, bass is perfect!
Negative: If you listen carefully, there is a very soft (but clearly present) highsound noticable when playing music at a louder volume.
Moreover, sometimes my mp3 files have a sudden pause (half a second or so) and entering information or accessing programs on my device, is extremely slow while listening to music. I guess do to limitations of my CPU, but it is worthwile knowing in advance for everyone.
Comment on the sound when calling:
Sound quality is good enough and the volume is perfectly addaptable, but a slight cracking noice in the back every-now-and-then. Sometimes when receiving a call, it takes a while before the caller actually hears you.
When receiving a call while listening to music, it is fairly impossible to use your HTC device, since it will be very slow.
The speed of my device is fine however when receiving at a time when mediaplayer is switched off.
In crowded places, its harder to communicate since the BTheadset pics up a lot of surrounding noice.
(5 out of 5)drb-bt20nx with SE K800i
Recieved product yesterday and was amazed at quality of sound.
In refrence to other review there is no time lag/slowing of my mobile with use of these headphones, large java apps and camera work as normal whilst using headphones.
Only used for a total of 4 hours well worth the money, will come back with more info soon.
(5 out of 5)Amazin Product, good quality and long battery life.
I got my headphone on April 1st so i've had them just over a month now and i have been using them with my Nokia N70. I can say that they are of a good sound quality, the battery life is superb (lasting as long as my phone i think), and the features look pretty gd but haven't really tried them.
Bad points include:
A) The price, i paid full whack when i got them, now that it's gone down i'm a bit gutted but they're still worth it.
B) The next and previous buttons do not work with my nokia, so i cannot change track without going to my phone.
(5 out of 5)Overall fantastic headphones
These headphones produce great sound quality, easily as good as the equivalent wired sony headphones and they are extremely convenient as you simply wear them like a necklace. There is a loop on each headphone to stop them dangling about when not in use and all of the functions are on one button.
A word of warning to anyone looking to purchase them, make sure your phone supports A2DP bluetooth as you need it to hear music in stereo and while it isnt compulsory AVRCP bluetooth helps as it lets you change songs with the device but this is more of a convenience than a necessity.
Oh, and to the guy who said his headphones have gone quiet, it's a gathering of ear wax in the cloth bits covering the hole in the headphones themselves that are probably causing loss of volume as it happened to me with a previous set of wired in-ear ones. You can cure this by taking off the rubber bit and prying out the cloth bit with a pin or sharp knife, they should work good as new afterwards, in fact I do this with any new headphones I get straight away now.
Overall these headphones are well worth the price as they offer great sound quality without all those blasted wires.
