DR-BT50, my first Bluetooth device

Pros: Set-up, audio performance, appearance, versatility

Cons: Too small ear pads/cups, too narrow design fit parameters

The SONY DR-BT50 is my first Bluetooth device. I received it on the same day that I installed the internal BT adapter in my DELL Inspiron 1520, particularly to eliminate more cord and cable clutter. By the time the chip was installed, so was the DR-BT50 charged and shortly I had stumbled through the configuration - all new to me. As a stereo headset the performance is better than my 60 y.o. ears. The balance between the headset controls and my VLC media player's control allow convenient operation. My ears, my auricula are large enough that the ear cups sit do not enclose the auricula. The clamping force of the headband is strong enough to press the ear canal, auditory meatus shut. Larger in both diameters, major and minor ear pads will cure both ills.

Best Bluetooth Headset I have ever bought

Pros: This headset connects easily to all bluetooth devices and is seemless with both music and phone calls.

Cons: NONE!!!

I bought this headset to allow me to listen to music while in the gym working out. The first day I was on the weights I received a business call and it went seamlessly from music to phone and back without me doing much except pull my blackberry out of its holster. The sound quality is excellent and I am impressed with the range I get in the gym. If you have tried other headsets (I own a Bose) without Bluetooth I would say this is the top of the line and I recommend it to everyone.

Great sounding headphones

Pros: Great sound, good fit, wireless performance

Cons: controls on headphone small. hard to adjust

These headphones sound great and are very comfortable. I purchased these wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my I-Pod touch and Playstation 3 and I am very happy with them. The only complaint I have is the volume control on the headphone is very small and it is hard to adjust the volume with them on my head.
