GREAT HEADPHONES FOR IPOD TOUCH, MACBOOK AND CELL PHONE

I WOULD BUY THESE HEADPHONES IF YOU CAN FIND THEM FOR A GREAT PRICE. I FOUND MINE FOR 63 BUCKS,NO TAX AND FREE SHIPPING. I HAVE BEEN USING THESE HEADPHONES FOR A FEW DAYS NOW AND THEY SOUND BETTER AND BETTER EACH DAY. YOU CAN CONTROL THE IPOD WHEN ......

SOUND IS GREAT. BLUETOOTH IS EASY TO SET UP AND USE. VOLUME AND STOP AND PLAY BUTTONS WORK GREAT ON THE IPOD. YOU CAN USE THE TRACK FORWARD BUTTONS ON THE MACBOOK AND SKIP THROUGH SONGS ; LONG BATTERY LIFE AND GREAT DISTANCE ON THE BLUETOOTH

BLUETOOTH DOES HAVE TO BE REDISCOVERED IF EITHER BLUETOOTH DEVICE IS TURNED OFF. A LITTLE BULKY ON THE EARS. TAKE A LITTLE GETTING USED TO. VOLUME CONTROL IS VERY SMALL

Very nice for the money

i don't like to give 5 stars unless something "knocks my socks off", but these came pretty close .....in my opinion.

this is my second pair of bluetooth headphones and the sound is great compared ; to the samsungs i had before these....once you get used to how they slide on, they work great. very comfortable if they don't fall off

i wish i didn't have to "connect" them to my i-pod touch everytime. i should be able to just turn them on and listen ; also you don't want run with them on or they might fall off your ears

Very functional and useful headset

I bought this headset to go with a number of my Bluetooth-enabled devices including my computer, iTouch and my PS3 (side note: PS3 Bluetooth capability DOES NOT INCLUDE game or movie audio! - bummer). The headset sound quality is very good which is...

Great sound... but you can't hear the bass

Most has been said already. The unit feels very solid and the range works well as well as all the buttons. It is pretty darn comfortable I must say, and I wear glasses and have had trouble with behind the ear headphones in the past. However, I would...

Best bluetooth headset so far

I used to have a Sony DRBT21G bluetooth headset which broke after several years of purchase. Since then, I tried different kinds of bluetooth headsets and didn't find a better one. But this Sony DRBT 140Q is a better headset that I finally encountered....

.

i prefer headphone bluetooths over the one-ear bluetooths. So far, this is the best bluetooth headphone i've had, mainly because it prevents me from breaking the headpiece that connects most bluetooth headphones. this one has a fabric string, so i just...

Stuck Gold

I have tried many, many bluetooth stereo sets, most of them more expensive than these and EUREKA! with this set I have struck gold! Pairing with my iPod Touch and iphone went off flawlessly. Sound is better than average; the controls are easy to...
