I a fitness instructor. I am just wondering if the transmitter being mounted in the headset be in the way when you lay on the floor for abs work?

I haven't used this particular mic, but I use one very similar at one of the locations I teach at. The extra weight/bulk on the headset does not get in the way when I do abs, because I generally don't ever lay my head flat. Even when I lay back to do some prone stretching, it has never bothered me. In fact, I've never thought of it. On the other hand, the weight takes a a little bit of time to get used to. I teach very high-impact aerobics (Turbo Kick, Zumba, HIIT). You'll have to make sure you fit it to your head properly, because if you don't, the weight on the back can displace the mic. I constantly have to adjust during class because of this. If it was a mic for only my use, I imagine it would be easier.

No. It is located behind the head and low enough the head is not affected by the transmitter/battery.

There are two great things about the lifter that a lot of people don't realize. 1) It makes it so you don't have to take the receiver off the hook. 2) It's like a tiny robot that sits on your phone and does your bidding. If you ever have any other headset questions, feel free to contact us directly. Cheers!

It was a VERY snug fit in mine (I thought it wasn't going to fit at first). Once I got it in though, I was happy with the firm fit because it keeps the transmitter firmly in place and keeps it from getting wobbly when someone inevitably bumps it.

Hello Erica! I am not sure where you are using the Headset. If you are in an office quiet environment and are having a problem perhaps the headset is faulty? Its not the best choice of headset from my experience anyway. If you haven't bought it yet - DON'T!

The headset is line of sight only. If you turn your head away from the base unit you will either lose the signal or have a lot of static. You can use them in another room but you would have to move the base unit to that room.

I have it plugged in under a desk and it hasn't lost signal even when I'm a room or two away. Double check the range on your headset to be sure and it shouldn't have any issues.

No I have not experience any problems using it in the gym. I actually love using it at the gym. I used it for Urbanathron which is a 11 miles race with obstacles. However, I would try not to use them so much at the gym. I don't want anything bad happen to them although accident can happen. It is a very expensive earphone. To answer your question again, I don't have any trouble using it in the gym or on a 11 miles race but I would be careful.

I have used this for over a year. I have the blue on black model with no microphone. Until I read some other reviews, I wasn't certain was was causing my probl;em with the volume being shifted as if I am holding the volume control button up or down (usually down). But now I'm fairly certain it's because there is sweat creeping in through the earbuds, and messing with the electronics. It only happens after I've worked up a sweat, they seem to be flawless until then.

Not sure wich transmitter you're using but I'm using a boscam. You can use the 90 degree elbow that came with the antennas so it goes out to the side.

You have to factor in the type of material between your headset and the transmitting device. My house has aluminum studs in the inside walls and concrete blocks and stucco on the outside, and I can go outside and still hear clearly, but it works intermittently in the garage. I suspect it would transmit further if I put the transmitter up high with a clear "line of sight." I am not a big Sony fan anymore, but I really like this product. It was recommended to me by a Samsung rep in my Best Buy store. Go Figure!

Hello Martin,The headset and mike are connected through a male & female plugging system. So if you fall of the bike, the wires would SNAP apart.Drive Safe Bro.

Yes it is Bluetooth and it does have an overhead wearing option. I have the model that has an extra fully charged battery on the side of the unit.I use the headset all day and it last most of the day but it's handy to have that extra battery when you need it. I find it an excellent unit.

I haven't had any issues with it so far and I keep and use a headset plugged in there on a daily basis. My friend also has this same case and hasn't had an issue either. If I remember right, the last case had the ground in an area that caused interference. I'm not sure if this is in the same place or not.

You should be able to hide/mount device. The round "ears" do flip up and that is how the reception is sent and received. I have mine sitting on the wall mount arm behind a 19inch flat screen so it cannot be seen. It works great and its upstairs while the transmitter is downstairs. The ears rotate, raise and lower to gain optimal reception.

My unit continues to run very quietly so listening to music or the TV while exercising is not a problem at all. I would contact Smooth's customer service folks to see if they have any suggestions to deal with the issue.

To work out sure yes have a blast. Sweat, rain wont damage the headset. Dont drop it in the ocean lol.

definitely. That's one of the devices for which I use mine. The headphones don't hurt your ears and don't fall off no matter what I'm doing.
