"Brand New" OEM packing from factoryCustomer Review: Wow are these fun or what!!
I enjoy watching videos and listening to music on the train as I do my daily commute. I use my Asus Eee PC 1000H which has bluetooth built in. Bought it on Amazon, Great Deal! Now back to the Insignia Headphones. Well I was using a wired headphone set and the wires would get tangled etc. I started reading on Amazon about these bluetooth headphones and thought why not give it a try! Especially at bucks. Well I am so pleased! These headphones can really play loud and clean. I cannot tell the difference between my wired headphones and these bluetooth headphones. They handle the bass very well. Using Microsoft player, I turn on the SRS WOW effects and it is so enjoyable!!! Videos and movies sound great! It was easy to set the headphones to connect with my Asus automatically. The range was over 30ft from the PC, without walls, also you can use the AC charger or your PC USB port to charge the phones. I did not use the USB dongle transmitter that comes with the unit, so I can't comment. But if you have a Bluetooth ready PC or MP3 player these headphones are great! I have purchased 4 complete sets from the Amazon stores as holiday gifts for family and friends. Lastly, I wanted to mention that the headphones hold a charge. My commute is about an hour each way and I can use them constantly with no problems (2 hrs) then I come home and use them to listen to music. The manual says 10-12 hours constant. I've never ran out of battery. Just ordered a bluetooth MP3 player to work with these phones! I'm into it!!! I should point out that my model is the NS-BTHDST , I notice there is another set model NS-BTHDP. They look identical, I don't know the difference.
Customer Review: My Dissipointing Replacement
• The Good - Great Stereo sound on my Verizon XV6900 White Smartphone (Verizon Wireless) • The Bad - Not as good as my old headset Motorola Bluetooth Headset for Cell Phones and Music - Black (HT820) • The Ugly - Sound quality I had my old Bluetooth headset, similar in style to the BTHDP, stolen from me at work. I went to a Best Buy store to pick these up for around $58 some dollars, thinking it would be a great deal since my old ones were around $99. Unfortunately, some times you really do get what you pay for. • BAD • I have had a lot of complaints from people who say they get a bad reverb on their side when talking to me. There have been many times that when I talk on the phone, it gets choppy, so I do not hear every word. It has gotten so bad that many times I have to stop my connection and just talk on my speakerphone. Also, while the battery is better than any BT mouthpiece I have had, it is poor in comparison to my other BT stereo headset. There is suppose to be a warning when the battery is low, and while I have heard it a rare few times, more so than not I end up pressing talk on my phone to find my headset is not sync with my phone (due to it being dead). Pairing this up with my Gateway P-7811FX laptop, I have terrible sound. The sound is in such a low bandwidth that there is absolutely no reason to even attempt to use for music from my laptop. The fact the sound is wonderful with MP3 songs on my phone indicates this could be more a driver issue than headset. Another problem when listening to music on my phone, and increasing for voice calls, is a rattle sound heard in the left speaker. It is a sound one would hear if they cranked up the bass extremely loud and put a piece of tin foil over the hole of the bass. The problem does not always happen, and I was able to recently get this noise to spot by pounding the earpiece with a battery a few times, possibly knocking something... unloose? :) This tells me the construction of the unit on the inside is not the best, or at least, not for the one I have. As for the touch buttons (vol, play, forward, back) I found for the most part this worked, but gets a "bad" since one thing that does not seem to work, is after I press "play" to pause music playback, pressing "play" again to resume activates voice resonse instead. Since most people are going to use this for a mobile phone, I imagine they will have the same problem. • GOOD • Music on my phone sounds wonderful. I very much enjoy using my phone as a MP3 player when doing snow. My ears even get slight protection from the wind. The biggest problem I had with my old headset was the foam covers would screw off a lot. Eventually, one of them got lost and I had to use the hard plastic. These do not have the same problem. The foam ear buds are not going anywhere (unless my son should get a hold of them). Also, I find it is comfortable. Now keep in mind, the behind-the-head fit is not for everyone. Some people, especially those with long hair (mine goes half way down my back), will not enjoy this design. I find many times attempting to take this off when my hair and headset get caught up, and I lose a hair or two. Another thing, while some people have had pairing issues, I have had none (or it was phone/computer related). The pair-up process was simple: hold the power button until it flashes rapidedly, tell the device to search for BT devices, put in 0000 passcode, lather, rinse, bake, and serve. • OVERALL • Doing some research, I see even my old headset that was $100 is way cheap now. With that in mind, I really cannot recommend this headset to anyone. I will continue to search for a nice BT headset that really takes advantage of what this technology has to offer. PRO • easily paired with my phone and computer • longer battery life than normal BT earpieces • great stereo sound on XV6900 as MP3 player • one touch answer (standard with most BT headsets) • USB rechargeable • unlike former headset, can use while plugged into USB to charge (a plus) • better volume than any headset I have used before (see "rattle" under CON) CON • horrible phone quality both in and out (XV6900) • shorter battery life than previous stereo headset • bad sound quality on Gateway P-7811FX laptop • unable to really crank sound many times without rattling noise (some songs and calls not all and the song does not require heavy bass to happen) • "play" button while in Media Player does not resume music, it activates voice command (and if this feature is not on your device, there is a good chance this will then work)
