Great until it stops working Bought this headset at the Apple store to go with my iPhone. Worked great for 9 months, then the sound Stopped and I couldn't get it to shut off. Both the red and blue lights were dim. I ended up sending it to Sony's repair facility to have it fixed. For $30 they replaced it with a refurbished set. Now about another 9 months later the left speaker is not equal to the right and I'm having issues with turning it off again. I love this product when it works but I'm frustrated with theissues and possibly having to send it back again for another $30. May 10, 2011
Great Design and concept, needs noise cancelling Great concept, I shopped around and for me being a gym fitness fanatic I work out or ride bikes several times a week, the fit and weight is awesome and that I have seen this is the best wireless headphone set for fitness. Also I LOVE that it controls your Ipod song selection, so if you want to put your Ipod in your pocket, you can do so then just use the headset controls to advance to a new song, or pause. However- it is very hard to hear in a crowded area, like a gym that plays loud music overhead, or a mall or airport. This unit would be PERFECT if only it had noise cancelling. May 7, 2010
Good while it worked This unit is a dream came true for me - exercising at the gym without headphone wires connected to my iPod. I keep the iPod with the transmitter on the elliptical stand or in my pocket. In fact, I like it so much that I bought two sets for fear that the product may be discontinued in the future. Sorry to say that both sets now are no longer working. The first set broke down after 4 months of use. The second set broke down after 1 month. I could no longer charge the units properly; it just won't get into charging mode. Take my advise, stay away from this unit. March 25, 2010
