I replaced the links with my dropbox pulic links. Do they work now ?

Yes they do now thanks, this would be a very great thing!
Instead of worrying whether the BT headphones will be good enough, you can now use your own pair of headphones on a BT unit:)
I think I'll be getting this one for sure!

Any news about about the release date/price?

Seems like they only have white left:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Son...73353481?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item3ccf251c09

There are plenty on Ebay though between $85 and $100
What do you want in the review?:p

Yes, but they're all from Hong Kong... i don't trust those sellers, that's why I asked for the one you bought yours from ;)

As for a "review", i need just a few simple things:

- How long does the battery last
- How long does it take to charge it
- Does NFC connectivity work without problems
- Does it work with other headphones attached to it
- Have you noticed any lags/stutterting during playback ?
- What's the actual range it works with ?

Cheers :)

Barely have it for 12h for now I can only answer:
- Does it work with other headphones attached to it
Yup, I use my Brainwavz M1

I will post a review in a week or something. Should be enough time to really test it out.

Is there any reason (except for NFC) to prefer this one to the smart headset? Just wondering?

Got mine from accessoryjack.com and arrived in the UK very quickly, excellent sound and in ear pieces. NFC works great and also Bluetooth, hand clipm to make hand free calls in car. Choice of sizes for in ear rubber pads included and charging cable.

How does the sound quality compare to normal wired listening? Lets assume you have some really high quality ear buds, would using them on bluetooth make their high price tag a bit pointless?
