It worked well once connected.The headset needs some additional padding for comfort.I used it with my iPod and it worked well if the comfort was better.But the main purpose I purchased this for was to connect to my computer and Skype phone. The bluetooth connection to the Motorola phone doesn't connect easily. I haven't figured out how to get the mike to work for this purpose.
July-Aug may be a different story. The other reviews are correct-the signal is still strong at 30 feet. The price is good. The phone calls are clear on both ends. I've always wanted cordless headphones but I didn't want ear buds because I wanted a better sound.
Only negative is that my ears get a little hot with the headphones but its winter now and I welcome it. Ive been using them for a month now and they are still in excellent condition. These headphones are great. I bought this based on reviews. The sound is good.
The adapter also works for my tv so I can watch a movie while my wife sleeps and she doesnt have to hear the sound.
As a headset for bluetooth.well I tried to pair it with my htc touch pro and it didn't show up but well I would not even dare to step outside wearing these things, I could just get a sleek ultra cool little bluetooth headset even if its on one ear only. The audio is "bearable" in total because depending on your position from the laptop is a huge factor, and you can't move your head alot. For the cost of about 120+ I do recommend if the most important thing is having a wireless headphones. I did so and was able to listen to itunes. Still if you are gonna fork over some cash you should look for something that is the best.for recommendations look at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php.t=235484 For some reason I could only use them to listen to itunes and when I tried to listen to any web music like on imeem or youtube I got nothing.
Blueooth capabilities are a shame but with the adapter then they are well worth it. After an hour of trying to use the headphones with my Macbook Pro 2.16 ghz using the bluetooth feature I almost gave up but found a forum that mentioned how to change the sound setting on the laptop. The audio was least to say "bearable" but really I would rather use my little walmart earbuds that aren't wireless if listening for a longer period of time. Other than the bluetooth problems if you use the universal adapter the audio is actually pretty good, along the lines of any $20 earbuds or wrap around ear phones (which is the only things I can afford and ever used.except for these which i received as a gift) and I could use any application and surf music all over the web and go as almost 30ft away from the adapter/laptop.
A great buy. The blue light is not a problem at all, which is something I was concerned with due to reading other reviews. The sound is awesome. His friends at work were also impressed and wanted more information on it. Bought this gift for my husband for Christmas. He is a driver and loves to listen to music. My husband uses it with his Ipod and cell phone and says it was his favorite gift.
Once I downloaded that, rest was easy.- The universal adapter works well too.Some of you may be confused as to what the difference is between 590 A and 590E. What everyone is saying here is true.This is a real good stereo bluetooth headset and a must have.I got myself the plantronics pulsar 590 A a month back after doing a lot of research on stereo bluetooth headsets.- Paired it easily with my HTC cruise.- Took me a while to pair it with my Toshiba laptop, but thats only because I didnt have the latest toshiba bluetooth stack on my laptop. 590A includes the universal adapter which you can plug into any 3.5mm output while 590E is just the headset.The only thing that falls short is the styling - Plantronics could have bettered the styling a bit - this has been around for more than 2 years now.(n thats y I'm giving this a 4 star n not 5)But apart from that everything else is great - Sound quality is pretty good for music (deep base n crisp mids), and Ive also chatted for long hours with the headset on and roaming all over the house without any voice issues even once.To sum up - great value for money.
