 For the music lovers March 4, 2010
John Vincent Castro (tx)
i love this product the battery life is awsome i can go 2 days before charging it :) only complaint is that sometimes the sound cuts in and out but other than that all i do is disconnect-reconnect. so yeah good buy
Work Great, When They DO, Which is About 60-70% of the Time February 21, 2010
SanjeevP (Michigan, USA)
Bluetooth headphones are one of those things that once you get used to, you can't live without. In car they are especially useful, and then while exercising or going about the house and being able to use phone or MP3 player. The advantage of stereo Bluetooth headphones is that you can use them for music and phone both, not to say the good sound quality. After using Plantronics Pulsar 590 590A Ultimate Stereo Sound Innovation Bluetooth Headset for almost 4 years I wanted something low profile that is easy to use while exercising. Here is what I found about these BackBeat headphones.
PROS
1. Low profile and and nice design.
2. The accompanying users guide does not really explain how to place these headsets. But they just sit over the ears, outside the canal, and you do not insert the silicone ear buds inside the ear. Once you place them, these are very comfortable in upright position. But finding the right location for ear buds takes some time and fiddling around in both axes, verical as well as rotation. It took me a while to find that and I wish company had explained in literature or had a video demo on their web site.
3. Easy to pair.
4. Good, clear voice quality and noise suppression.
5. Good quality music sound in entire frequency range.
6. Ubiquitous Micro-usb charger.
7.. Pleasant audible tones let you know when there is a new call or when the unit is turned on and off.
CONS
1. Bluetooth connection keeps disconnecting. For example you use in one phone call and and for the next call the headphones are not working. For me, this was the biggest drawback which made me return these headphones.
2. Although they say you can connect two devices simultaneously, in practice it does not work well. To give you the example, say you are listening music on iPod Touch, you get a phone call, and when you hang up the iPod Touch is disconnected.
3. Short range, the sound quality drops after about 9-10 feet and Bluetooth disconnects after about 20 feet.
4. Accidentally pressing the Call and Play/pause buttons while adjusting the headphones in ear is very easy and happens all the time. But volume button nicely placed and works well.
5. Track forward and back does not work with iPod Touch.
6. Microphone does not work on iPod Touch.
7. Does not work for music on Palm Centro, only the phone part.
8. On Macs, you pair it as headsets and it will work well for a while. Then mysteriously the Bluetooth audio profile changes to Headphones and Headsets and it will stop working in either profile. If you pair as Headphones, the microphone does not work.
9. While it is comfortable in upright position, you cannot use in lying down position because the back cord is thick, moves, and the headphones come out off the ears. Same while exercising on treadmill, keeps coming off the ear.
10. Poor battery life, about 4-5 hours use. You have to charge them for 3 hours to be able to use them for 4 hours!
11. No indicator light to let you know when it is on. Blue lights comes on for a second when you first turn it on and then goes off.
There are a lot of nice things about these headphones but they need to improve the software so it does not disconnect, thin the back connecting cord, explain how to place the headphones in or over the ear, and make that telescoping and rotating mechanism a little sturdy so it holds in the same position. Since the Plantronics Pulsar 590 590A Ultimate Stereo Sound Innovation Bluetooth Headset rarely disconnected, the repeated disconnection was really the clincher for me, which made me return these headphones and replace them with New Samsung WEP870 Mono + Stereo BT Headset which I found on sale at Verizon Wireless web site, lot cheaper than here.
Good Phone Service, Acceptable Stereo, 6 Month Failure February 19, 2010
Mark C. Meier (The Great State of Oklahoma)
Worked well for phone use, stereo was acceptable but not outstanding. The unit failed after 6 months of use following an easy workout. I will order another one, but...looking for something more reliable.
