 Dead on Arrival. January 9, 2009
The headphones were sadly dead on arrival. They didn't work at all. I will be returning them for a replacement and if they don't work again, I will try to get my money back. br /br /
 Almost perfect January 8, 2009
Just took it out for a 1 hour ride on my road bike. Only problem I had was when turning my head to the extreme left it would cut out. My iphone was in my rear right jersey pocket. I moved it to my front jacket pocket and received zero cut out's after that. Apparently the human body isn't a very good conductor of the bluetooth frequency. :(.br /(I also had a balaclava on over the headphones and the iphone in two zip-lock baggies)br /br /It is plenty loud for me even on a noisy city road. br /br /I left it playing to see how long it would last and it went for around 4.25 hours before beginning to "beep" every 60 seconds. It finally gave up at the 4.75 hours. The iphone was still at over half battery remaining. (that included some web browsing).br /br /I even spent 20 minutes in a steam room while continuing to listen to music. very cool.br /br /I will report back after a few months of use and see how it stands up to 200 miles/week of riding.br /br /By the way, the headphones weigh just over 25 grams together and the adapter is about 5 grams.br /br /2009/01/08 Update:br /I have upgraded my rating to a 5 star since I worked out the drop-out-during-head-turn issue. I discovered that if I orient the phone horizontally with the dongle pointing to the outside I get almost zero drop-outs (2 short drops during a one hour ride). This is very acceptable for $120!br /br /My one new nitpick is that the dongle does not lock into the phone so it can get dislodged too easily when I am fumbling around in the pocket. br /br /Also on this ride I tried it out with SimplifyMedia (iphone app that streams music from your home computer over edge and 3g). It worked perfectly. Now I can wirelessly play my entire library during my rides.br /
 My son loves them! January 3, 2009
I wanted to get my college son wireless headphones for Xmas and they had to be sweat resistant. The jaybird ones got the best reviews as far as durability goes so I bought them knowing that if the earbuds weren't a good fit (the most common complaint I read about) that I could return them to Amazon. To make a long story short-- my son absolutely loves them! He says the earbuds are more comfortable than his old wired ones were. He doesn't find the buttons on the headphones difficult to use. He says he can walk all over the room away from his ipod and that it doesn't cut out. I asked him if it ever cut out when he wore his ipod in a armband while jogging, and he said once in a blue moon it might cut out for a second or two but that to him, it was no big deal. His only complaint was that he wished it didn't have a microphone in it because then it would be totally waterproof and he could wear it while swimming laps. Not only will I not be returning these to Amazon, but I saved money because they were $30 cheaper on Amazon than they were if I had bought them from Jaybird directly.
Look No more tangled wires! December 30, 2008
My biggest frustration when I work out is wasting time untangling my iPhones headset wires, and when I run I don't like the wires dangling around! I was wondering if anybody made a decent bluetooth headset, and found these. I like them so much I asked for Xmas the 3.5mm jack for my Mac's "Creative speakers". I would have given this product a full 5 stars but it does have drop outs if your passed 10feet, and esp. behind walls. But if its right next to you or if your with in 10ft it works flawlessly. I've had mine now for a month, and it takes some getting use to. The right ear piece there are 3 very small buttons. One to turn on and the other two adjusts the volume plus if you press and hold for about a second it shuffles the song fwd and backward. You just have to get the hang of it and you'll be rockin no problem. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that works out allot! I really haven't used it so much for my iPhone to answer calls, but it works. Just ignore the pop up on the screen that says "This accessory is not made to work with the iphone", because it does, again you just have to play with it and see for yourself.br /Just pair the bluetooth up to your iPhone and it will sync right away!br /The charger is stange and you have to fiddle alittle when you connect the left ear piece to it, just connect it until you see the red light flash on the right ear piece. You'll get the hang of it and realize how cool this thing is. I like it very much and don't regret the price I paid for it. A very good investment, best bluetooth headset I swear!
Read this review if you're on the fence December 28, 2008

If you are like me, you've SCOURED the web for reviews of bluetooth headsets (in my case, primarily for working out). You've probably found some of the more common headsets like the Jaybird, the Motorokr S9, its update the HD (it think it's called) and so on. You have probably wondered if the new S9 is more "sweat resistant" than it's predecessor. Like me, you might have even vacilated between wired options and wireless, but you probably don't want to be "that guy/gal" at the gym whose cord gets caught on the handle of the elliptical, thereby sending the MP3 hurtling across the room.br /br /So, here's what I've found and did. From what I can tell, the Motorokr S9 HD isn't being touted as more sweat resistant than it used to be. I haven't worn or heard it, but from the zillions of reviews I read, I would have expected it to sound better than the Jaybird. Folks seem pretty pleased with it. But the deal killer for me was that the design doesn't allow you to exercise in all positions (i.e. like lying on a bench or on a mat) without it popping out of your ears...plus the worry I'd always have that I wasted $$ if indeed it broke due to getting too sweaty.br /br /As for the wired options, I canned those pretty quickly for two reasons. The cord-getting-in-the-way issue and the fact that I'd need a second MP3 as I mostly use my iPhone and it's a bit bulky to strap on for working out. The appeal of having the iPhone sit quietly on the sidelines while working out wirelessly was just to great to pass up.br /br /So the Jaybird seemed like the best fit for me, but here were my concerns:br /br /1) Bluetooth range. Many negative reviewers were really critical of short range connectivity. I figured this would just have to be a gamble. Enough other reviewers didn't have an issue with this that I thought I'd at least give it a try...especially since I'd be working out mostly indoors (where there's less of an issue).br /br /2) Sound quality. I'd consider myself an apprecionado of good-sounding music, but not a sound snob. I have a reasonably high-end stereo setup at home because I like music to sound good, so I was worried that these might sound like the green transistor radio my parents got me when I was 5 years old. Again, this would have to be a gamble and one that seemed a fair bet since lots of folks seemed very pleased with the sound.br /br /3) The price. This was easy to overcome. I'm worth it, right?br /br /So I broke down and got the 200i at my local Target. Sorry Amazon...your site said "usually ships in 1-2 months". I don't think so. The quick answer is that I LOVE these headphones. If you can tolerate the long review, here are the few details I can offer:br /br /Issue #1 - Bluetooth Rangebr /br /Seems to be a non-issue for me. While it it sensitive (as published) to obstacles between the earpiece and the transmitter/MP3, indoors I could easily go 10-15 feet away with no interruption. Maybe not 30 feet, but definitely far enough for me to workout comfortably without interruption.br /br /Issue #2 - Sound Qualitybr /br /Totally fine for me. Maybe my expectations were just too low, but they sound totally fine. Certainly no comparison to my $2,000 speaker system at home, but I never expected that. They sound clear and the bass was fine. Not like those awesome sounding, gigantic, padded, bowl-over-the-ear headphones with the 1/4" jack, but still totally fine.br /br /Comfortbr /br /I really wasn't too worried about this because I've used Jabra's over-the-ear bluetooth earpiece and found it to be insanely comfortable, so I expected this to be fine...which it was. They are fery comfortable, not at all hard to get on, and easy to forget you're wearing.br /br /The behind-the-neck wirebr /br /I wasn't sure what to expect with this. I couldn't tell if this was a stiff wire that was supposed to hold the earpieces in a fixed position or what. Actually it's just a plactic coated wire that's plenty flexible. It doesn't at all get in the way and I don't notice it at all.br /br /The buttonsbr /br /Many reviews complained about the buttons being hard to press. I didn't find this a problem at all. Again, maybe it was low expectations, but I can press all 3 buttons no problem with one hand. I do have to use my right thumb to brace the back of the earpiece while using a finger on my right hand to press the buttons, but that works totally fine. Also the buttons are easy to find as the raised bumps are prominent enough and spaced far enough that you don't mistake one for another.br /br /So, all told, these babies are a grand slam home run. Not nearly perfect, but then nothing out there is. Until I can buy those futuristic, wireless in-ear buds that Ryan Reynolds sported in the movie Definitely Maybe, these are the best combo available.br /br /Just decide that you are worth it and go buy these. I sincerely doubt you'll be disappointed.
