 Ok May 2, 2008
It works ok with my BlackJack II and my MacBook. However, here are few things to know:
1. If the phone is locked, you cannot control it with the headset. i.e. I can not skip track.
2. It is hard switch the music device. I will fiddle with the headset to have the MacBook as the main music device.
Great headset April 23, 2008
I use it with my lap top and two phones incuding the Palm 750 and work very well

This is a great concept, and everything is good about it compared to a wired headset, except two things.
First, there is a very little bit of static or fizzing sound in the background of listening to music with it from my Smartphone. And second, much less important to most except those like me, it doesn't capture the ultra-low frequency bass sounds that I like to hear. It has very good low bass and overall range from highs to lows. Understand the difference between low range bass and ultra-low range bass.
I don't know if the slight hissing sound was due to the Smartphone or the speakers of the headset, but otherwise it's excellent.
Pretty good start April 14, 2008

[Addition: I paired this up with my Mac. Good news and bad new.
Sadly, the sound quality was poor when i listened to my music (and no you cannot control (fast forward/rewind/stop the song you're listening to via this headset).
Good news is that the mic on this headset worked just fine with Skype.
Note when using this with your Mac: Go to System Preferences, then Sound, and finally the output tab. Select this headset as the output device otherwise, you won't hear anything.
Finally, the instructions for this device are written concisely, and clearly.
Finally, finally, thanks to those feel this is a helpful review.]
Seeing as how these devices are relatively new, I think it's a pretty successful end product.
The sounds is very good (still better than a lot of wired headphones you could buy for $50). Though i've noticed where it doesn't match the quality of my Sony MDR-CD580 headphones (the best i've ever listened through), I'm quite happy with the sound.
Usability is not an issue. It's easy to use. You can look at your address book, and navigate to the number you want. You can do the same for your "calls" list. You can change the volume, move to the next, or previous tracks, and check the time. I'd've liked to go to my list of songs that way i could pack my phone in my bag or something.
i like the way the earpieces don't snag because the plastic (or whatever) wire doesn't wrap around your neck. It's pretty cool how they make the length of the wires per piece adjustable.
I would've prefered the option to use my own headphones (which is available on other headsets from Sony-Ericsson). The get tired of having those things in my ears.
Wear and tear. I've had this at least 2 months and one of the wires is splitting open, and I've got tape holding together the casing for the mic/answering button.
Other than that, it's a good product. you'll be happy with it.

Used with a Treo 700p and Sony VAIO laptop with built in bluetooth.
Pairing is straight forward. When used with multiple devices you select the desired device from a menu on the headset.
Very comfortable to ware. The unit hangs from your neck via a lightweight cord, from which the wires to the earbuds sprout. The cord length is somewhat adjustable. It comes with three sizes of earbuds. I have small ear canals, and the small buds work well. they stay put when I'm on the elliptical trainer or working with free weights or machines. Depending on your ears, it may not be secure enough for more active endeavors. Comfort vs. security trade-off is about right for me. Unlike the behind the neck styles, these are good for snoozing on the couch or bed.
Small & inconspicuous it can be worn in public without looking like a refugee from another planet.
Range with the Palm is poor. It pretty much has to be on you, or next to you. Range with the laptop is good. I can be in the next room.
Sound quality is fair to good. About what I expected for the price & size. Occasional dropouts, not enough to disrupt casual listening. Ambient noise attenuation is fair. You won't have to turn it up to damaging levels to drown out Jerry Springer on the TV next to your treadmill.
Controls are small, but easy to use for my small fingers. Controls A2DP compliant device well. Display is somewhat small for 50YO eyes. Younger folks should have no problems.
Overall, the best I've used. Sound not quite as good as the Pulsar or Moto, but good enough, and far more comfortable and versatile.
