Here's my quick review of this headset. I actually received it today, so I only have 1 day's worth of experience with it. I had it paired with my LG enV2 (VX9100) phone from Verizon Wireless. I had an 8GB microSD card loaded up with music.
I came home on my lunch break to open the package and charge it up. The manual says it only requires 2 hours to get a full charge. It also says that you can get 5.5 hrs of music time or 6.5 hrs of talk time out of it on a full charge.
The "docking station" is pretty nifty. I can see why they went that route for charging. They wanted to make sure they upheld their lifetime warranty against sweat damage, so they didn't have any plugs that go directly into the headset.
I took it to the gym tonight for my workout. It actually worked out pretty well. On their website, they have a video about how to get a proper fit. I did what they suggested and I got a pretty good fit from it. I would shake my head around and upside down and they would not move at all. I did take them out though when I did squats. I didn't want to risk the cable getting caught between my back and the bar.
The buttons on the earpiece were a little difficult to manipulate. They are little nubs that stick out that you need to press. I had to hold onto the earpiece for leverage to press the buttons. I just found that using the controls on my phone worked out easier than the buttons on the earpiece.
The music was pretty clear through the headphones. There isn't a great bass response though, but I didn't mind too much. I didn't have a good bass response from the last pair of headphones I had either (the Motorola S9).
I didn't receive any calls, so I can't review that part of the headset.
All in all, I had a good experience with the headset. It is very light and you barely notice it is there. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for some A2DP stereo bluetooth headphones. I've only had them for less than a day, so take it for what it's worth.
