Great wireless solution

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much. I wanted a wireless solution for my ipod (and other bluetooth audio) so that I could walk around the offices without taking off the phones or grabbing the ipod. I did get the ipod dock adapter, but I also have an audio jack adapter.

I have read much about the quality of bluetooth audio, and have so far been discouraged. I expected tinny, scratchy audio but this was not the case. I am a hardcore audiophile, and regularly wear the bulky but awesome Sennheisers, only reverting to the earbuds when mobile. I can say, without hesitation, that the S9 headset is nowhere near as great sounding as the Sennheisers, but nowhere near as bad as some earbuds I've tried. Better sound and fit than the bundled apples, and almost, but not quite, on par with Sony's MX series, although, still, better fitting. For me, I was always irritated pulling a wire wrong and losing an earbud. Apple's seem to require replacement often.

These are NOT adjustable, and it may be annoying for some to tilt your head all the way back and feel the rear of the headphones. However, they are incredibly light, and you will not feel them at all unless you try. They stay put, and, most importantly, I have yet to lose an ear during any activity. I ride bikes, workout, and they are tremendous audio partner's for this. They also come with 3 sets of buds, so adjustment shouldn't be a problem. I have read complaints about not being able to lay back or launge with them. I use them when I'm up, walking around, working out, or working, and when I'm, lounging I use my Sennheiser's, so I don't have a problem. If you're looking for great stationary sound, spend the money on a good set of wired phones.

The buttons on the ears can be frustrating at first, because as you're getting used to them, you will adjust the ears and inadvertantly hit a "previous track" button. I quickly adjusted to this and after a day of use, this is no longer a problem for me, and, in fact, love the ease of the buttons for volume and track selection. They are easy to find by feel due to the design. I cannot comment on how well they work for use with a phone also, as I do no use them with my phone. Battery power is true to description, I fully charged them, drained them fully, charged them fully (according to instructions), and got slightly over 6 hours with them. Not 7, but over 6 isn't bad.

For those who don't find them loud enough, adjust the volume on your audio device BEFORE you insert the adapter. I have had no problems with audio volume. The ipod doesn't seem to push enough for my Sennheiser cans, but these are powered well.

Pairing was incredibly easy, much easier than previous BT headsets for my phone. Turn on the ipod or audio device, play a song, press pause, hold the power button on the phones to light it steady blue, plug in the adapter to the dock (or audio jack if you have that adapter), unpause, and wait about 5 seconds for the music to start playing through the phones. Anyone who has had trouble pairing I can't understand. Worked great for me the first time, and I could (unlike the sets for my phones) pair again without refering to the instructions.

In all, I am incredibly happy with this purchase. They sound better than most earbuds, are so light you won't feel them, and put just enough pressure on your ears to keep them in place, but not make your ears hurt like most earbuds. They aren't adjustable, but I find this minor compared to the convienience of wireless with my ipod. I had also used these with a stereo bluetooth adapter for audiojacks, and they work quite well. I can't complain, I love them and they fullfill their purpose completely.
