This headset at first appeared to be worth the price tag, but I was sadly wrong.
Cons: They are overpriced, not easily shaped for a normal head, and not as good as you might expect from sony. Not only that, but they do not include a USB charger for the $50. Battery life is no where near what is specified.
Pros: iPod Touch 2G compatible.
Overall: These headphones are Overpriced, Over-rated, and no where near worth the $50 Price tag. I truthfully wish I could return them for my money back. Do NOT buy this headset! Spend a little more and get a Jabra Headset, or a higher-class Sony.

I wish someone pointed that out before I wasted my time and money. You can’t use these for chat over the computer, just with cell phones and MP3 players. They work fine if you just want to listen to music from your computer, but the lack of clear warning forces me to give them one star.

The DRBT101 loks good on paper but save yourself some money and don’t buy it.
First off, it comes in one of those plastic packs you have to cut and destroy to get the product out, so you can never return it.
Once you do get it out of the pack the problems begin. First off, I don’t think these will fit anyone. I wear a size 7-1/2 hat and they are too big for my head. On my wife with a smaller head they just fall right off. So even if they were perfect in every way, what’s the point if you can wear them.
Second, they sound okay , but not great. I get much better sound from my cheap sennheiser PX100s.
Lastly, the bluetooth can’t hold a connection. They work for about 20 minutes and then the connection goes in and out which makes both listening to music and talking on the phone impossible. The only way to reestablish a good connection is to turn off the headphones and then turn them back on, and then you are only connected for about 20 more minutes.
If you feel the need to buy these take a $50 bill outside and light it on fire instead. You’ll enjoy that more.

I thought these headphones would be a great wireless solution to use with my bluetooth enabled laptop. It connected fine and I don’t hear any noise or interference. The problem is that there is no bass. Music and and hulu video sound tinny. By the way, the ipod adapter shown in the picture is not included with the headphones.

Bought these from a big box retailer knowing I could return them easily if they didn’t work out. They haven’t, so I intend to return them soon.
Pros: They look ok and the controls are pretty decent. Seemingly excellent battery life.
Cons: Main issue above and beyond all others is that they do not fit. I am a fat slob and these things are big on me. That’s never, ever been an issue. They fall off my head and never feel comfortable. After that the next issue would be the sound. Bass is pretty low, or bass is average but the treble is high. Adjusting the basic EQ functions on my Blackberry didn’t help at all. Second issue would be the Bluetooth connection. It seems spotty. I’d say 3 or 4 times per session the connection hiccups for a second or two.
I haven’t tried any other models yet but I’m leaning towards trying the Motorola set. Either way these Sony’s are going back.
