 Won't stay in my ear May 13, 2010
speedbird57 (High Plains, North America)
Sound quality is OK but I'm not an audiophile. I can tell it's stereo. I use this with a Motorola Razr for MP3s and phone calls. It has a little bit of static when paired with my Razr sometimes, nothing crazymakingly annoying, just slightly noticeable once in a while.
My external auditory canal is size medium on the right side side and slightly smaller size on the left, and these buds will barely fit into my ear on the right side, not at all on the left, so I have to hold them onto my head manually to get the sound, and even then, after a short while they hurt.
The USB port is not compatible with the USB charging jack on my phone, so I'd have to bring two chargers with me if I were to travel with this.
I'm unimpressed by the ergonomics of attaching the standalone earpiece to the earbuds. It takes a lot of force (relative to how small the items are) to get the two to latch together, and because they are so small, you can't get a good grip on them to control them while you are cramming them together. Because you can't get a good grip on them, I think they might be prone to twisting out of position and breaking while assembling by a klutz such as myself.
There are two really tiny latches to lock them together, and they are unnecessary and extra possible failure points. USB connectors are a press fit, no need for latches.
I could see this connection snapping very easily if it was in the bottom of a backpack or a pocket, because:
The thing is, this connection is not robust structurally or failsafe, either. You have to look at the connector or feel a little raised triangle on one side of the joint to make sure you have the polarity of the connectors lined up. It should be designed so it obviously only goes together one way, and lock together using the structural strength of both sides of the joint, not the strength of the mini USB connector.
I bought this to replace my lost Motorola S9, and it's not filling the bill. I didn't buy another S9 because the earpieces were too vise-like in their clamping action on my head.
If only this product had earbuds that were larger diameter so they would rest in the ear as opposed to having to insert them.
 Good device for the price April 18, 2010

The first thing we look for in a product is to see if it does its job well. This one does. So my money didn't go down the drain. Call quality is impressive for the price. I actually prefer to use this for important calls even when i am at home and not driving.
The problem the other reviewer mentioned about waiting for a couple seconds is true. But other than that i have not had any problems with it. I have found the battery life to be good enough for my use. My primary use is when driving, usually a couple hours per day, after which i switch it off. I was able to use for 4-5 days in one charge using it this way.
Verdict: Good product that i will buy again.
Great sound quality but a couple of quirks April 15, 2010

I rated this headset 4 stars because it does some things very well, you can get it on sale at a very attractive price, but it has some quirks, some of which may be specific to using it with an iPhone 3GS.
Pros
1. Physically, the device is very well made. Sound quality on both sides of a conversation is VERY good. My wife has complained about every wired handsfree I have ever used, including the original iPhone headset and others that were supposed to be better. She says this one sounds great. It has noise cancelling that seems to work. Because the mic pickup is so good, voice dialing recognition is great.
2. The device is very small and light. Sometimes I have to check to make sure it is still there.
3. The sound from the clip-on stereo earbuds is very good. I don't use them often because for some reason my ears have difficulty accomodating the sound-isolation style configuration. It's not a problem with this set in particular, but all with this design.
Cons/Quirks
1. I use voice dialing all the time. When I press the button to voice dial, there is an immediate beep. At first I would start speaking a command at that point and could not figure out why the device seemed not to work and sometimes wound up starting music as I kept pressing the button to try to cancel. Then I could not stop the music without taking the phone out to stop it. Eventually I realized that there is a delay of 2-3 seconds between the initial button-confirming beep on the headset and the phone's double beep to start speaking to voice dial. Since I figured that out I have been happy with voice dialing.
2. I still manage to start music inadvertently as mentioned above, and button presses will not stop it. This was really aggrevating, particularly when driving. To me the whole purpose of a headset is to not have to fiddle with the phone while driving which is why I voice dial. I couldn't figure out how to control music with the headset, but here is was starting by itself! One day as I was jamming the button to try to stop the music in a situation where I really could not take the phone out, I heard the voice dial double beep. That gave me an idea. I pressed the button again and at the double beep used the command "Pause music.", and it worked! I then tried all the music voice commands, and they worked.
If I had paid a lot for this headset I would probably be really irritated with these quirks, but I am pretty happy with it since I figured things out.
 so close April 13, 2010
Blue Tooth (Rochester, NY)
I really like the flexibility of this headset. The headset itself works fine for me. I can answer and end calls. Music that is playing fades out when the call starts and resumes smoothly when the call ends. I can return calls and give the iphone commands using voice control. Nice. The earphones work surprisingly well considering in ear headphones are not my favorites for this use (too isolating) and for times when I am in noisy environments, work very well. So, what are the problems. Two show stoppers from my standpoint. First, you cannot start and stop music from the headset. That defeats one of the real advantages of bluetooth stereo headsets. Second, you cannot substitute your own headphone because the connector is microUSB. What is more annoying is that there are microUSB to 3.5mm converters that in theory should permit the use of regular headphones but they don't work. Samsung seems to have made it proprietary. Too bad. I could have lived with one of these two problems but both makes this a much less desirable solution.
 Great bluetooth stereo headset sound! April 1, 2010

I use this product primarily to listen to music and sports audio on my computer while my wife monopolizes the TV. I get great sound from a D-Link DBT-120 bluetooth adapter, and pretty good range to the kitchen and bathroom in our 700 sq.ft. apartment. Have also paired it to my LG Env3. Pairing to D-Link is tricky because there is no software or drivers for Windows 7 for D-Link. However it works very well as a cheap, excellent wireless stereo headset solution. I do recommend it to others.
