Customer Review: not for traveling
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the first bluetooth headphone I have purchased. I travel a lot and find the best way to pass the time on a flight or waiting at an airport is to listen to music. "I test-drove" these headphones on a recent business trip where there I had a lot of stops, flight changes etc.
My first impression was that these were not very comfortable. The speakers are large and not contoured so they always seem to sit askew on my ears. More importantly, they literally fell off my head. This happened over and over again. A fair portion of my time flying was spent on my hands and knees, scratching around on the floor of the plane, trying to retrieve them. Furthermore they do not fold up so when stored in my bag, they take up a lot of room. I know that if I keep using them they will eventually break when my bag gets bumped or dropped.
Enough of the cons - they do sound ok - approximately as well as a $30-40 set of non usb headphones. Having a built in microphone is also great for skype or using with a cell phone. However, because of their size, you will not use them with your cell unless you are at home. battery life was very good - at least 10 hours so that's a plus.
In conclusion, great for Skype but because of their bulky size and poor fit, they are not much good for anything else.
