I got these to use with my iphone 3G. I researched stereo wireless headsets and this seemed to be the best for my needs, I've had these for a while now and think I made a good choice-the sound is good, they fit comfortably, the batt life is decent.
Like most things they aren't completely perfect. Here are some things to be aware of.
-They cut out if you move too fast..if I walk real fast sometimes they do.
-Since the microphone is way back by the ears, the few times I've used it to converse with people on a call, it is a bit hard for them to hear me as the background noise is picked up substantially.
-With the iphone I've noticed that sometimes when using them to listen to music, when the screen of the phone times out,the sound cuts out, constantly and the only way to fix it is to (my phone is password protected) log back in the phone and keep the screen from turning off. This is an i phone problem I think. Also (iphone limitation)-no song advance, no matter the brand.

I use this with iPhone 3GS. The headphones constantly lose and then reacquire the bluetooth signal while I'm running or walking. They work fine while I'm not moving but that isn't the use I purchased them for. Buds stay in my ears. I would pass buying these if you want to use them while running or walking. Stay with the wired set.

This is a good headset. My last wireless headset (CaseLogic) fell apart 2 weeks after I bought it.
I have had trouble fitting the headset in my ears. Also it it is not obvious how to turn them on.
Nevertheless the sound is good and they work well with my iPods and my laptop. Thumbs up!

My first set quit working in less than a week and had to be replaced. It is extremely hard to see the blue light on the dongle showing it it turned on. But I will say it's nice to be wireless. I do alot of walking and the cord on regular headphones drives me nuts. I still think they're a little pricey for all I get using them with only an ipod.
Great product, with caveats

I bought one and liked it so much I bought two more. This headset is magnificent when used with a BlackBerry or bluetooth-enabled computer. Pairing with the little box adapter (used for non-BT outputs) is no problem; with BlackBerry or BT phone, ditto. Pairing with a computer is tricky: to use it both as a stereo headset and as a phone make sure to install both drivers. Phone calls are nice to hear in both ears but the mic is almost useless if there is a lot of ambient noise. Range is good, battery life ok. If it briefly misses the signal it SPEEDS UP music tracks briefly - disconcerting.
