    The product received was not the one ordered on the Amazon website. Hence, the product was returned to the seller for full refund.

    I think I used it maybe 3 times before it froze up on me, could not turn them off and had to wait about a week for the blue led to kill the entire battery. Then when the headphones finally died, I was so excited to get more use out of them but when I charged them, they were dead, no lights no nothing. Anyone else have the same issue?

    If you buy this product solely to listen to music in stereo, your going to like it. If, however, your want to use it as a phone headset for calls, put away your credit card. A complete waste of money. You can’t hear them and they can’t hear or understand a single word you say. Simple trash.

    I purchased this product based on my experience with Plantronic Voyager 855. Seeing as they are sister companies I expected the same or better performance, however this was not the case. Some positive points:

    * The headphones fit and feel great.

    * They are light and comfortable.

    * Pairing is easy and quick.

    * The sound is good and loud when working.

    This is where all the praise ends:

    * The product constantly goes into “Shutdown mode” as Altec Technical support put it. You have to reset it while holding the power button inserting the charger. This is ok occasionally but after or even during a use is not acceptable.

    * When the headphones do become functional again the next crash is only about 20 min away. The headphones then disconnect from the phone.

    * The person on the other end of the line cannot hear you (or hear very faint as you are speaking from a room away).

    * Leaving the headphones connected to the phone causes it to activate voice dialing on random. Based on the amplified ambient noise in the room your phone may detect a name and call.

    * If you are listening to music via the headphones the headphones will pause the music repeatedly and activate voice dialing.

    * The buttons for pause and call fail only 20 min after playback or talking.

    I have tried these headphones on blackberry flip, 8700, and Nokia N90. All the phones had similar problems with the headphones. I may have had a faulty set but the problems from other reviewers tell me they are just not quality headphones. If you do buy hope you have better luck than me!
