Customer Reviews


Paired right up to my iPod Touch and lets me roam around without catching the durn headphone wires on everything. Hard to find support to get any questions answered but I want to tell you here and now - when you turn them on, keep the button pushed down until you see the red and blue lights flashing alternately. THAT's when they can pair. If you just hold down until the blue light flashes, you won't get it to work. Just so you know, southerntelecom.com (and yeah, that com is twice) has the support pages but this model must be hiding over there.

Pros:
1. Good pairing with Play Station (though PS3 wont allow Bluetooth as a sound device only as a communication device).
2. Good pairing with Android phones.
3. Great sound for Bluetooth but not as great as similar priced wired headphones, though that will always be the case with all Bluetooth headsets.
4. No wires.
5. 3 sets of silicon ear pieces for different sized ears.
Cons:
1. Hard and slow to turn on and off (if you hit the button in the wrong way it will take twice as long to turn off cause you'll have to start over again).
2. Won't work under Windows 7 (needs special drivers which Emerson doesn't make) I don't know if it will work under any other standard OS but probably not any versions of Windows.
3. Made for medium and small heads, bigger heads like mine will have a problem with one earpiece unseating itself and slightly uncomfortable angling of the ear shaft.
3. No support site for this head set yet, no online manual yet.
4. The headset reception has blind-spots, I found that if I turn my head a little to the left while the phone is in my right pants pocket the reception breaks up. The blind-spots also show up while peddling a bike, the reception cuts out every pedal.
5. Silicon earpieces are easy to loose in your ear canal cause they don't stay put on the shaft very well. You may need tweezers to retrieve them.
Other notes:
Bluetooth reception is supposed to be nearly flawless up to about 20 feet assuming there are no walls in the way and should still be good reception to 33 feet with the same assumptions. This headset clearly has bad reception compared to 3 other Bluetooth headsets I have owned with some limitations at as little as 2.5 feet. There is no excuse for poor reception given the shape and dimensions of this product, there is plenty of room for a robust Bluetooth antenna.
