Great young product! READ FOR BATTERY TIPS!
I'm 25 and a carpenter that works for some high-end clients. I love music, but I can't exactly haul a beat-box into their abode. I also love these android phones on the market, and I avidly use pandora radio with them. If not then I'm using them with my iTouch. I had an HTC Hero, and these worked well with them. Now I have a Samsung Epic, and they sync up even faster now.
Okay, the point. I read all the reviews before I bought them, and it seems that everyone complains about the battery life. I use them for two full days at a time before charging them, and the life seems to just get better the more I fully charge them. I've been using them for a few months now.
THE TRICK WITH THE BATTERY is to let them die completely, then charge them completely. Don't break the cycle, and you'll be fine. It's just like a lithium-ion laptop battery, or the batteries on all these iPhones & Androids.
If you NEED to have working bluetooth headphones all day in and day out, then buy two pairs that you can alternate between. They're dirt-cheap for what they do. Another thing that's really cool is that I can sync these headphones to my iTouch first, and it reserves the 'media audio.' Then I can also sync them to my phone, and it reserves the phone audio. This was I can listen to music on my iTouch, and when a call comes in they automatically pause the Touch and the call comes through. When you're finished talking you press the call button on the headphones, and it automatically resumes play on the Touch. All with one button on the headphones. You can pause/resume, sync, and switch tracks all from the headphones. They RULE!
Overall: they sync well, and all works well. If you have any problems then it's YOUR device, or just a bad set that can be replaced with the warranty. You can't lose for a hundred bucks!

Cord Issues
I've owned 2 of these and both times the cord became tangled and eventually broke. I love these headphones outside of them breaking eventually. It's also unfortunate they don't allow you to purchase a warranty. I purchase mainly Sony products and this is my first complaint. Don't purchase.

BT Headphones
Nice phones but cord recoil is terrible. Sony seems to be going downhill in its quality control.

Had for over two years and still enjoying them
I bought these after trying quite a few stereo bluetooth headsets and these were the only ones that were comfortable and stylish enough to wear without looking odd. I was immediately impressed with the range and the battery life. I can listen to music all day. Also, I can leave my phone in one room and walk all around my apartment without losing connection. The controls are easy to work and haven't given me any problems with my phone (htc touch pro). Also, since they don't have a band running between them, they are extremely portable: just through them in my pocket. The only downside is that due to the relaxed over ear fit, when I exercise, I have to wear a headband to keep them from flopping around and falling off, but the benefits far outweigh the faults. I hope they come out with a slimmer version in the future.
