well, I'll start with the pros first. To start off, I was very happy to find that i could pair both my Ipod and the head set to my PS3. Basically, it comes with 2 bluetooth devices. the head set and the adapter for the Ipod. from Amazon.com I use my wireless headphones to run/jog, and have to say the Motorokrs are a terrible option -- my current set suddenly refused to charge any more, and when I say "current set," they are at least the 4th pair I've owned. That's how fast Motorokr's break -- if they work at all. I have faith that Sony did a better job on durability. These also paired in a snap and controls are very easy to work. from Amazon.com This is the first head set to last me more than five months and I use them for 2 to 10 hours per day every day. I'm really bad on headphone cords no matter how careful I try to be. Hence the reason to go bluetooth. My biggest concern has been the folding hinge at back of the headset. from Amazon.com I've used many corded headsets, a wireless headset from Logitech, and none of them can compare to the quality and ease-of-use of this Sony headset. My main use for this headset is for working out at the gym. from Amazon.com These headphones seemed like a great deal at first. It's true, there are many nice features. The iPod bluetooth adapter is small and simple, the headphones sound decent, and the controls on the ear are remarkably convenient. That said, I was still disappointed by these headphones. from Amazon.com re: wireless capabilities--> it completely stinks. when you analyze the purchase, the only reason you're getting these headphones compared the more capable units is because of the wireless feature. Thus it was a complete dissapointment when I realized that you could only reliably hear audio only if nothing obstructs the bluetooth transmitter. even having the ipod in your pocket will inevitably result in episodic audio drops. from Amazon.com I have been looking for a good wireless headset and I feel I found it in this model. Sound is great and bluetooth functionality let's me use my cellphone and ipod at the same time, the included microphone seems to be ok as well, people can hear me clearly. The only thing I don't like so far is battery life, which barely lasts two days of office work so I hope it takes many recharge cycles before any malfunction from Amazon.com The Sony DR-BT21IK/B Wireless Transmitter and Bluetooth Headset for iPod was a utter dissapointment. If you're looking for a Bluetooth Headset to use during any type of physical activity then you need to keep looking. from Amazon.com The only other thing is that I was used to in-ear headphones and I have to say that when it's very noisy outside (metro) you barely hear the music. But I guess it's the same for all behind-the-neck headphones. Laslty I would like to mention that you can hook up 9 devices to each of the 2 (the transmitter + the headset), and if you simultaneoulsy hook up the iphone with its internal BT and with the BT transmitter to the headset, you will be able not only to listen music and control your ipod; but you will also be able to answer calls with it (music will shut down and you just have to press a button on the headset). from Amazon.com The behind the neck earphones are moderately comfortable. They have a cheap plastic feel and are awkward to put on and are bothersome the way in your ear/bud earphones are not. Which brings me to the Sony/Ericcson DS980 Stereo Bluetooth Headset.
