Great product if your after getting rid of those wires.

I think sound quality is actually better than the wired version I got with the W850. And the deep immersive sound out of these little is top notch.

Connects to your PC and phone at the same time with the Widcomm stack bluetooth driver NOT the MSXP SP2 BT stack driver, but the Widcomm is easy enough to install/configure anyway.

Battery life is only the main caveat for me, 6hrs is not enough and I could live with extra weight on the dongle since the adjustable neck strap takes the weight of it which only stands at 27g anyway.

The neck strap makes putting the ear buds in nice with no "head shifting" and not popping out like the wired one's.

The skip/FF button only skips tracks, no hold and fast forward through the tracks unfortunately which sucks on long unchaptered audio books.

No radio on your phone either since you've got no antenna as in the wired version and if you plug your wired one in it takes precedence over the HBH.

Bluetooth distance suffers to, Ive found about 10ft at the most with no loss of on sound with the PC, and this distance suffers ALOT with walls/routers/microwaves etc.

Should really have the time on the standby display instead of the track name on the dongle too, but overall, great for wireless music and is a promising start of things to come I hope.

Supported special features:

* Streaming music and call handling without wires
* Outstanding sound performance - for both music and call handling.
* Bluetooth 2.0, fast automatic volume adjustment, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)
* Multipoint - can be connected to two wireless devices simultaneously, allowing access to the music files in your computer, PDA or other Bluetooth equipped devices
* Ease of use with practical display - a music player as well as a wireless headset, easily accessible with the display attached to a neck strap.

Specifications:

* Operating Range: Up to 33 feet (10 meters)
* Weight: 27g
* Talk time: Up to 6 hours talk time – up to 6 hours music streaming
* Stand-by time: Up to 300 hours
