Are these reliable in bluetooth terms? I never had bluetooth (wireless) headphones before and wondered if they are good or sometimes cut out?

They sound really good and most of the time the connection is flawless, but it is not infallible. For example, when using them at home, if I turn run my microwave to heat something up, it causes significant cut outs while running. This is similar to how microwaves used to interfere with older cordless phones (prior to them 5.0+ GHz phones now common). That's the worst of it. Also, if you try to stray too far away from your bluetooth source, it will start to have cut outs periodically.

Absolutely. Although my Blackberry Torch phone is only bluetooth 2.1 capable, I could pair them in seconds without any trouble. All funtions are working fine, inluding receiving and initiating phone calls, listening music with volume control, jump to next / previous music etc. After updating the bluetooth driver of my Dell Latitude laptop it is working also fine with that. So I can listen to music coming from my laptop and stay connected to my phone and receive calls. All that wireless and in top quality.

It's not any worse than any of the other wireless headphones I've had. However, I've mostly had lower end headphones... So far these have been the best headphones I've had, would definitely reccommend them.

Mine work great and I'LL have not noticed any problem like yours. Have you ensured the settimgs on your bluetooth device are balanced?

So why do they have to be charged if they are not wireless? What happens if they are not charged? Can you explain, Why must I charge these headphones?

I returned these headphones. The volume is VERY LOW and the reception is very poor. I can't recall for sure, but I think they use an IR signal which is very directional. I would look at something with BT. Even if you need to add a BT Transmitter, it will be a much better option.

As long as your device has Bluetooth connectivity ,there should be no problem using these headphones. The headphones also have a wired option too. As far as Bluetooth connectivity it should work. I use mine with multiple devices and have not run into any problems so far.

I use these headphones with my iMac, iPad and iPhone via bluetooth. They work quite well. I wear them when cooking and doing chores around the house. They're a bit heavy if you're wearing it for eight hours a day, however.

From my experience they are beyond amazing sound. But the reliability of the headphones are questionable. The wiring inside the headphones break extremely easy if the main wire connected to the pc isnt taken care of.

Hello Mark, I like to use these working out or doing outdoor work. They have decent bass. I like think chunky bass, and these provided good quality. My only gripe is that headphones ( after a while ) stop working. I have tried Beats by Dre ear buds and they provide better base. The price is key factor in that equation. If you need them for travel, or around the house, either Bose or Beats (Over the Ear) are the best ones on the market. But for outdoor needs, these are the right price.

Hope they have. However recently within the last week the earphones have been shutting off for no apparent reason. BTW, I've owned them for about 2 months & really enjoy them. But I'm a little concern about this shutting off & hopefully it was just a one time thing.

Diane, no they are not. I specifically bought them for that reason because I have heard from owners of wireless headphones that the battery does not last that long and in order to keep using them after the battery dies, you have to buy another battery (which aren't cheap). Hope this helped.

I thought it was just me! I got my pair in summer '07, and they failed less than a year later. I had them replaced via Shure, and now the replacements have failed again. I don't use them excessively - they just seem to wear out. Other than the high probability of failure, these headphones are awesome.

I think its pretty good, if I have it on me it works all the time, the only time it seems to cut out is when my phone is upstairs and I go downstairs and forget to take it with me. There are very very rare cases where it cuts out briefly when I am in range but it happens so infrequently that it doesnt bother me. I love these and wouldnt trade them for anything.

I think they're pretty good at noise isolation. If I'm playing music at normal volume through my phone speaker and put the headphones on without plugging them in, I can't really hear the music at all. I do this every morning when I'm leaving for work, and I'm always surprised that it works so well.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

Just checked and mine is no longer working either. I have them connected via cables to my pc so it's been a while since I used the bluetooth feature. Talk about disappointing. I can no longer recommend this company. I'm also having problems with my udac-2 which is luckily still under warranty.
