IOGEAR Wireless Stereo Headphones

An all-in-one bluetooth solution

Strengths: Pairs with both your laptop or music device AND your cell phone at the same time.

Weaknesses: Not much if anything

Summary: Being a data center technician who works in a very loud enviornment I've always had 2 frustrations. One was that I would never hear my cell phone ring and the second was that listening to music was very hard because of the background noise. This device completely solved those frustrations. I paired it with my blackberry pearl as a headset device and then once that was complete I paired it with my MacBook as a headphones device. This device stays actively connected to both and I can start music in iTunes but if my phone rings the device will pause iTunes and allow me to answer the call. Once I end the call (or reject the call) it unpauses iTunes and returns me to my music. Having the audio controls on the earpiece is also extremely handy. If you team iTunes with iScrobbler (last.fm) you can listen to a radio stream and just click a button on your ear if you don't like a song and move on to the next.

The audio quality of these are also quite impressive. Sure, they may not be on the level of a noise-canceling Bose system but of the normal consumer level products I think this has got to be toward the top for audio quality. The battery life is also quite impressive. On a full charge I have gone 9+ hours before needing a recharge (this, of course, will vary depending on connection, distance, etc). Aside from all of this they are very comfortable to wear and they can reach a loud enough volume so that I can clearly hear my music even standing behind an entire rack of servers and routers.

Much more than I was expecting.....

Strengths: Small, light, good range, good sound

Weaknesses: Blinking blue light!

Summary: This bluetooth headset was extremely easy to set up, pair, and start using to both listen to music and make/receive calls with. The controls are clear and precise, and the music quality is actually much better than I expected. Way better than the included headphones that came with the phone. Overall, for $30 with shipping, I can't think of a better deal in a bluetooth headset. Highly recommended.
