Hi, I purchased this device from J&R in NYC for $100. I was looking to connect to my MP3 player simultaneously with my bluetooth enabled cellphone.
This headset is packaged with a wall charger, USB cable for charging (updating the firmware if needed), a dongle thingy which connects to any devices headphone jack to stream audio (music or tv etc) to the headphones.
If I was going to buy this kind of product I would avoid this one as it will likely disappoint.
The biggest problem is when streaming audio there's always a hiss. If you're looking for these to cover background noise forget it. The higher the vol the more the hiss is apparent. If the volume is not an issue during casual usage the hiss is not noticed especially for non-music sources.
Wireless range is good.
Additionally, when charging the bluetooth streamer dongle which connects to a headphone jack it powers on. If you shut off your PC while it's charging the the battery will be dead when you want to use the thing.
Bluetooth to my cell phone is poor. Audio steaming doesnt work and voice dialing which was built into my phone also suffers.
