 great, when it works....but I'm on my 3rd... November 16, 2008
Pros: I gor this headset about 10 months ago and I loved it. It was great for working out, battery lasted for 4 or so days before I had to charge it and the sound quality was excellent.
Cons: It kept on breaking! Every 2-4 months it would stop working! Since it was warranted to a year, I kept bringing it back to the store and getting new one. Personally, I think that moisture was entering the electronics through the charging mechanism. Would definitaly not recommend it for working out.
Stay away November 14, 2008
I picked these up to exercise with. Well, after a few uses the microphone stopped working intermittently. A few days later the right speaker cut its output to like 1/2 that of the left speaker. In short, they became useless after 6 or 7 uses. Do not buy.
 wireless headphones for ipod November 3, 2008
With a device like the Sony bluetooth wireless transmitter for ipod (not included), these headphones work great. I can listen to music on my ipod without wires! The ipod itself can be hidden from view, they say "within 30 feet" which is plenty of room to put it in your pocket, backpack, wherever. The basic music functions work fine: play, pause, rewind, next song, volume controls. The ear buds themselves are not the most comfortable I have ever used, but overall the product works great and connects within seconds to the transmitter.

Good product. Works well with Iphone and the Sony Bluetooth Wireless Transmitter for iPod (Black). Recommended
Motorokr-Good for some things, not so good for others October 29, 2008
I've been using my MOTOROKR for about two months now and am normally using it on my 25 minute ride on an Express Rapid Transit bus to work. I have had very few dropouts in that mode since I am sitting and not moving around much. However, if I decide to walk and listen, the whole scene changes! I get dropouts about every 10 feet. I have the IPod in a carrying case attached to my belt loop and have even tried it in my shirt pocket, but that does not eliminate the dropouts, just reduce their frequency. As has been stated in some reviews here, the Bluetooth standard is 30 ft but on a human body that range is evidently reduced to less than two feet for a consistent signal. Prior to purchasing the MOTOROKR, I attempted to question Motorola customer service personnel about the effect of wearing the IPod and sender on the body and they said there "could" be interference generated by the body which would cause reception problems. Since there is an IPod arm band furnished with the MOTOROKR kit, you would think they would have designed the unit to be less sensitive to human "interference", but I guess that was too much to ask for product perfection prior to marketing. These days, as clearly evidenced by Bill Gates and Company, the user is required to Beta test product at full price and then submit faults and design flaws to the company for possible inclusion in future releases. Let's not qualify a product to work properly the first time, that would be too expensive and cut into our bottom line!
As for phone capabilities, I have a Motorola Razr V3 which pairs every time with the MOTOROKR. Using it for phone conversations is another thing. When you receive a call, the phone rings in the left earbud. You then press the highest raised button on the left side to answer the phone. This does not always work. Several times I have inadvertently disconnected the call before establishing communication with the caller. Even if communication is established, reception is poor at best especially on the caller's end. A bus is a rather noisy environment and this noise competes for your voice so I sometimes use my right hand to "channel" my voice to the microphone in the right earbud area. That still does not guarantee a quality phone conversation.
Bottom line: The MOTOROKR works fairly well for its intended purpose, but for the cost is not a good value. My intention for buying it was the elimination of the standard earbuds and accidental pulling of an earbud out of the ear when turning the head, which the MOTOROKR does accomplish that goal. If I were to attempt to jog with the IPod located any place but strapped to my head next to the MOTOROKR, it would probably have more severe dropouts.
