Awesome Sound
Cons: Uncomfortable, the plastic covering the wires comes out and rubs against the back of your ear ALOT. If I set my phone down somewhere while working, any large metal object between my phone and the headset causes interference.
Pros: Stereo sound. Great microphone, the people who have called me while using this didn't realize I was using bluetooth. I was very impressed with that!Battery life is very good |

Cons: Some comfort issues but works okay with a little adjusting.
Pros: Quick easy connection to bluetooth devices. Sound quality is pretty good and the microphone works well even in a moving car. Comment:

Works exactly as Advertised
Cons: Sometimes when you pair it, it sets the headphones to the BT profile for a phone instead of Audio. You can tell right away when this happens because sound quality is (sensored by new egg). Just a quick re-pair and it comes up right as rain. This could be my phone though.
Pros: Pairs well w/ my LG EnV Touch. I can have it in the center of my house and reach every room (caveat: I have a small house!). I can plug in my phone, and set it down w/in a 30ft or so and listen to the headset while I'm working in the garage! Comment:
Decent sound quality (FAR better than my phone to my sony BT5700 sitting right next to it when set up as an audio profile)Takes calls well. Again sounds better than my car. Either the BT5700's BT sucks, or they got this product down pat. (though my honest opinion is the former & the later!) |

SBH500 for my Ipod touch 2G (3.0 and 3.1)
Cons: little tight fit, maybe because of my big head.
Pros: works well with Ipod touch. Sound is very clear and loud. Battery life is also very good. Comment:
Mic function does not work on the Ipod touch, however, this is the limitation on the Ipod touch. |

Good sound quality, but easily broken
Cons: Very tight fit. Kind of squeezed my head after putting it on and headphone is not for big people... The first headset arrived broken as the right earphone was broken off from the plastic headset itself. Newegg sent me another one right away without rmaing my old one. BEWARE, don't sit on it.
Pros: Paired this headphone with my laptop and the sound quality was great, even better than a pair of average headphone. Didn't have a chance to test out the mic though. Definitely good pair of bluetooth stereo headset for this price. Comment:
Thanks Newegg for the great service for sending me another headset without much fuss. Definitely great service from Newegg! |

Great Quality, kind of tight fit.
Cons: Tight fit (not so much the arch as others are complaining about, but the ear hooks on mine make my ears hurt). After an hour or so of wearing the headset, my ears have had enough. But I suppose that's true of most headsets/headphones. The only comfortable headphones I've had are huge ones that go over the ear lobe and rest on my skull rather than on my ear. Also not good for laying in bed and listening, unless you are face down. On the side and the set presses into your ears, on your back and the over-the-neck arch gets in the way. During charging, the AC adapter makes an annoying high-pitched resonance noise. I have another Samsung headset (mono) that uses the same adapter, and it makes the same noise when plugged into this device. You also can't use the headset while it's charging. I also wish it didn't use a proprietary power connector. Mini-USB would have been better.
Pros: -You have to listen to the bass on this.-Works very well and has excellent range. -Easy to use buttons on the right speaker. -Excellent battery life.I'm very happy with my purchase. Comment:
There is some slight background noise and high-pitched anomalies while listening to high notes (like flutes), but I haven't been able to determine if it's from my phone or the headset. Even if it's from the headset, it's not very annoying, but some audiophiles might disagree with me.My phone (Touch Pro) will recognize it as both a headset and wireless stereo. When in a call or using voice command, the speakers switch to mono and quality goes down to typical mono bluetooth levels (not so great). When using it to listen to music, the quality goes back to stereo (does a good, but not perfect job). I haven't used it on my Windows PC, so I can't comment on how well it works there. Others have suggested it can't pipe in stereo while using the mic. That would be what I have observed on my phone. Gamers may have to look elsewhere if they want an all-on-one solution. |

Amazing
Cons: They made the band that goes across your neck a little to low and it will hit the collar if you wear them with a coat on.
Pros: These things have awesome sound. You can actually feel the bass of music in them. The mic isnt too bad either. Haven't had any complaints from people about how I sound on the other end. The buttons are laid out in a way that takes almost no time at all to master. Has outstanding range for a bluetooth headset. Never hear any static in music or phone calls. Comment:
Got them on a shell shocker but now that I have heard and experienced them I would have no problem paying the full price for them. Newegg used DHL/USPS for the delivery and I think it is something that Newegg needs to rethink. It took 7 days for me to get them instead of 3 like the supersaver UPS used to. |

Thanks for the broken product Newegg
Cons: Arrived broken. Very cheap plastic connecting earphones to the frame. Not sure why somebody at newegg didn't look in the package to clearly see these were busted in the package? I could tell that when I opened the box.
Pros: Free shipping? Comment:
Pretty irritated that these were shipped to me for free and now I'm going to have spend my money to ship these back when it's not a fault of my own they are broken. |

Fragile
Cons: Fragile. Plastic 'headband' broke with 1 week. Glad I only wasted $30 since these were on sale. I'd be rather displeased if I'd paid the $80 sale price.Wouldn't work with older Dell Latitude D820.
Pros: Good sound quality. Fit wasn't bad. Easy to configure with Samsung netbook. Comment:
Pass for a better fit/studier bluetooth set. |

Great for masocistic audiophiles
Cons: Volume could use a few more increments. Can't turn off flashing blue light around call button. The pain, oh the pain.
Pros: Great sound quality. Like, really good. Can use for music and calls. Volume placement is intuitive. Battery life is spot on. A real on/off switch, no holding a button and hoping it's on standby. Though not advertised as such, they cancel noise almost too well. Comment:
I love these. Got them after Christmas for $25. They're light enough to go everywhere normal headphones can and are well built too. But unless you have very small ears or are prepared to do some unusual workarounds, I'm afraid I can't reccomend them. As they come you cannot wear them for more than ten minutes without losing all feeling in your ears. They don't have any padding on the band, and the part that attaches to the speakers has a knife-like edge that gouges straight into where your ears meet your head. Bending the speakers out can help a little, but the edge is solid plasic. If you have long hair that can work as padding at the expense of looking a little weird. This is a really great product, and I wish I could say otherwise, but the pain is too much to justify the price of admission. |

product matches price
Cons: Within the first 4 days I received the headphones, the SAMSUNG logo on the back cracked. Possibly by the flimsy plastic. Sometimes, the music pauses and then continues.
Pros: Great sound clarity.Nice design.Light weight.Good battery life.Great bargain price for 25 dollars! Comment:
I would recommend a better build material for the headband part. Otherwise, the product is very handy and useful. |

Sound is Good !
Cons: It took me a couple of days to get used to the hard plastic against my ears.
Pros: Price is low. The sound is great with this headset. I like the music controls, and the connection time is fast. They fit snug, which is a plus for outdoor activity. Comment:
If you are going to be wearing these for hours at a time you may want to shop for something else. |

Nice set, tight fit
Cons: I must agree with the review that state this set fits very tight and after a 30 minute period it becomes uncomfortable. Moving the head forward and backward will change the position of the head set. So, I have to regularly adjust them.
Pros: Price, On/Off switch (unlike most head sets I've had), Microphone, media player controls (pause/pay, forward/rewind), very good sound. Very useful for iphone/ipod playback music and phone calls! Comment:
It is better suited for children or people with small head circumference. I use it with the iphone and it sounds great. I have not had anyone complain to me yet about poor microphone sound during phone calls. It would earn 5 eggs if were not for the tight fit. |

Product is a disappointment . . .
Cons: After 30-45 min of puttering to get this device to work on my PC - I was able to make two determinations: 1) you can use this to listen to audio; or, 2) you can attempt to use this as a microphone. These are mutual excusive events. In other words, you cannot have audio from a game and use this as a headset via Teamspeak at the same time. Perhaps after hours of tweaking you might be able to find a work around . . . but in short its not worth the time. You want somethign like this device to work seemlessly and with relative ease. Do NOT get this device to work with a PC; you will be disappointed.
Pros: None. My intent was to use this device for online gaming (e.g. audio and teamspeak) which was an epic fail. Comment:
Akin to another reviewer, I should have done more research. But, I was optimistic that I could finally cut the cords and go wireless via BT. I guess the BT tech is just not "there" yet . . . maybe in a few more years.A little disappointed that Newegg has a no refund policy on this device. Probably should have been a sign, but at 25 bucks, I'll give it to the wife to use with her iPhone I guess . . . |

Nice
Cons: doesn't have a usb charger. Instead the wall charger uses a tiny pin-type connector. If it had a usb type I could charge it off my pc or my car accessory jack.
Pros: Good sound, excellent sound for this price.Comfortable and secure fit.Good battery life.Pairs easily. Comment:
I find them to be quite comfortable. even when worn for over an hour at a time. I imagine if you have fleshy ears, they may pinch between the arm and the ear-cup. My head is probably average size for an adult male (7-5/8 hat size), and the arm tension feels about right. It's snug enough that they don't bounce around while active, but not too tight.Somewhat bulky to stow as compared to ear-buds. |

Could be the best
Cons: NOT A CON-Some people say they hurt thier ears,some headsets are uncomfortable at first your ears need to break in somtimes, even earbuds can be uncomfortable at times.I have large ears I can can wear mine up to 6 hrs.
Pros: Sound is close to a wired headset-Can't get any easyer to pair-Controls are very accessable-Depends on what you are connected to for distance ,my memoir phone I can be more than 40 feet away and still has great quality of sound,my mp3 player I have to keep at arms length or it will cut out ,of course this is not the headsets fault.It does everything you could want, voice call as long as your phone is capable,mutes,put on hold,switch between calls,pause music,turn off music turn on music,whatever.Here again it depends on what you are connected to.If you are buying sound quality you can't beat it.-Batt. charge is great at 11hrs.-Tight fit, woud be hard to shake lose.-Got mine on speacial 25 eggs.-Egg saver shipping is getting better 4 days. NEWEGG AS ALWAYS IS THE BEST TO DEAL WITH FOR INTERNET PURCHASES,KEEP IT UP NEWEGG AND YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY OF CUSTOMERS. Comment:
Some phone calls echo a little,but this is not a problem for me beacause my purchase was for music, which it delivers very well.-Bought a motorola 900H for my son at christmass also a great headset,batt charge not as good 5hrs.,comfort probably better. |

Impulse buy, Egg Saver Deal
Cons: Horrible fit. I wear a 7½ fitted hat size... these are way too small. Best fit for women and children. It syncs with my Samsung Alias2 phone, but calls are loaded with static and the person on the other line indicate it echos. Also, I use my Alias2 with a MicroSDHC card loaded with music... Sound drops frequently during playback. I'm not impressed.
Pros: Decent sound quality (when it works)... Works well syncing to laptop for Skype and multimedia.I re-learned something I already knew... research before you buy; not after. Ugh. Comment:
Well, I got two for the price of one on the EggSaver... Not worth returning. Avoid these, research, and get something better. |

Ouch!
Cons: it can be somewhat uncomfortable. it seems that I have to wear it just right, or after wearing it for 10m or more my ears will hurt. but, it doesn't always hurt.
Pros: great sound quality, pretty good battery life, works great and very easy to pair with devices. wonderful headset as far as quality goes. Comment:
I give it 4 eggs because of its great build and sound quality. could have had 5 if it was a bit more comfprtable |

It may just be my phone, but when listening to music if I want to switch to make a phone call I have to pull my phone out because it wont turn on voice activation when in MP3 player mode. My phone is a Samsung R450, and it pairs nicely.Overall it is very useful to me, just not very comfortable.
