I've had these for about a month now, and have got a chance to use them quite a bit to see what I like, what I don't like, and the apparent quality of them. I bought these to get up to speed with technology, as my current wired headphones (Shure SE310s) simply wouldn't die, despite being used and abused daily for 11 years. I looked at getting Shure wireless headphones, but they simply didn't have the same apparent quality as their wired units based on reviews I read, and I was hoping to have whichever wireless headphones I ended up with to last a good long time. With that being said I'll get the one grip out of the way, and that's the sound profile of these headphones...they are very much like the Beats branded headphones in that they overly emphasize bass. If that is your thing, then you'll love these headphones as well, but I prefer a very equally-weighted sound stage with nothing being suppressed or emphasized. The Shure SE310s that I am coming from have long been hailed as nearly perfectly balanced in this manner, and perhaps I just got spoiled by them. This normally wouldn't be a huge deal as I could mess with an equalizer, etc, but being an Amazon Prime Music listener, I cannot find an equalizer for that app on my iPhone, and the iPhone's built in equalizer only works on iTunes...sneaky Apple. Maybe Amazon will find a way to put an equalizer in their app and this would fix my only gripe about these, but time will tell...I'm not holding my breath.
The first thing I noticed when I opened these up for the first time was the apparent quality that these buds have...they are substantial to feel, not being flimsy or cheap feeling. The headphone wires themselves going to the buds are rather skinny...I fear these are the weak point of the product and they seem like they won't hold up, but so far they have. Whether or not they can hold up to 11 years of abuse like my Shures have is a different test of durability all together, one that I don't necessarily expect from them (or any pair of headphones for that matter).
The buds are comfortable, and the tips that come preinstalled fit my average ears perfectly. the neckband is comfortable, and aren't overly cumbersome or annoying on the neck. I wanted this style of wireless headphones for the incredible battery life that they provide. These headphones do NOT disappoint in this at all. I'm averaging better than the 10 hours of battery life that they claim; I'd guess I'm getting closer to 12 hours or so of battery life per charge. The battery life indicator only updates on my iPhone in 20% increments which I find slightly annoying but again, this is a very minor gripe...before I bought them, I didn't even know tracking battery life of bluetooth devices was possible, so it's not like I can complain much.
the controls are very easy to use, and are very conveniently located. You simply press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn them on and off. Turning them on or off gives 3 styles of feedback to ensure you know they are on or off: first, they speak "power on" or "power off" into your ears (assuming you're wearing them), they vibrate (haptic feedback), and if you are not wearing them, you'd be able to see the status light blink several times. There is also a volume up button, play/pause button, and volume down button; all buttons are on the left side of the neck strap (when wearing them). The buttons are multi function much in the same way the iPhone's stock earbuds are. You can answer/hangup/mute/skip tracks/seek, etc, all with these buttons. The layout and functionality is extremely intuitive, and I didn't have to think about what I was doing; it was all very natural.
Overall, I think these are great headphones, and the sound quality is amazing, even though they are a bit heavy on the bass for my tastes. I highly recommend giving these a go if you're looking for a pair of wireless headphones!

Almost, One of the Best headphones Available
Everything about this headset screams quality.The packaging was nice. Simple, straight to the point. Borderline minimalistic. The look, the feel, the smooth leather, the chrome accents, shout "high quality"The sound quality is impecable. Strong base, clean mids and highs. The volume is very loud, leaves nothing lacking.The wiring to the headphones themselves may be a little too thin, just an observation. Pulling and tugging on external objects could cause damage.I can only assume if the wiring was thicker this could mitigate the potential for damage.I wish there were magnets on the back of the headphones so they could connect together and help keep the earbuds together while dangling.The ear buds aren't the best fitting, but they work.It comes with a case which is large but has a slim profile. It's big enough for me to carry a second pair of Bluetooth headphones or wired headphones if your battery ever runs out.The battery life, lasted over a days worth of use. I'm very happy with the battery life! A tap on the power button and it will audibly tell you an estimate of how much time you have left.Phone calls cause it to vibrate, which is a plus because other headphones only ring in your ear. This way if I am not listening to audio, I will still know a call is coming in, when I'm not near my phone, or it's on silent.My main issue with the headphones is the noise cancelation.I'm giving this 3 stars because there isn't any noise cancelation. That should have been a feature.I've received complaints that the microphone picks up too much background noise.Typing at a keyboard while on the phone with someone will be cause for complaintsthat our typing is too loud and is disruptive. Use at work will intolerable for anyone you are speaking to. All manners of distant noise will be picked up by the Omni-directional mic.This will not be a good choice for wireless headphones to use during the day if you are conducting business.You will need to use headphones with noise cancelation.It's a shame, because Sennheiser is great when it comes to sound quality, but they seriously dropped the ball on this one.They forgot to take into consideration that people use their Bluetooth headphones to communicating as much as they use it for listening to music.This is really a high quality headphones for listening to music that has a microphone added as am afterthought. As if someone said, "hey" you forgot to add the mic!Aside from that, the onni-directional mic WILL pick up your voice clear as day, along with your neighbors down the street!Unfortunately compared to other headphones, the sound quality of the person's you are speaking to, sounds muffled.It could be the deeper base signatures affecting the sound, but it's not the best quality.Other than that, music listening is a pleasure on these headphones which I believe is their main purpose.They are music-focused headphones WITH minimal communication capabilities.Hopefully they will realize the mistake they made and produce a better model.This is the 3rd sennheiser product I own but I don't think I will buy from then again.It doesn't take a genius to know you that Bluetooth headphones, will be used with smartphones primarily. Therefore people will be talking to each other on them and will want to have a pleasant conversation where they can hear each other clearly on both ends.
