Customer Reviews:

great sound but clumsy design [Posted on 2008-01-26]
The sound on this unit is great, but you'll need to get a better pair of earbuds to notice it. I have Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones. The transmitter's sound quality is much better than the BluNa Bluetooth Ipod Nano Adapter but...

...the design is klunky. The transmitter's ipod connector falls off very easily and is bigger than a v1 nano. Also the power button must be held down several seconds to turn it on. The BluNa unit has it beaten in design, with a snug fit and auto power on but the sound is crackly.

Yes the only thing pictured on this amazon listing are the earphones but you'll want to throw them away. The package also comes with a clip-on bluetooth receiver with ipod remote controls and the transmitter unit.

not bad for the price [Posted on 2008-08-02]
I decided to give these a try with the iphone 2g that I have even though the Panasonic specs does not list it as compatible. I am happy to report that it is compatible but with a few caveats. Here are the pro and cons;

Pros:
-great clarity. As per specs, I can get 30-40 feet and through a wall before audio dropout.
-receiver lasts 4-5 hours of constant ipod/internet radio play.
-handsfree/mic quality is quite good. So, basically, when a call comes the ipod music will stop and you can accept or reject the call from the transmitter/mic button, and then resume from previous point on track.
-can be hooked to either stock buds or a aftermarket set or even to an external audio device such as stereo amp, car stereo, or tabletop radio with aux input. I have ditched the O.K. Panny earbuds for some B&O earphones.
-receiver unit can be charged by usb(mini cable included) or outlet(also included).
-receiver unit remembers previous pairings; even from different bluetooth units(saves time).

Cons:
-transmitter unit that attaches to my iphone 2g, as per previous reviewer, does not fit snug but is acceptable. Also, for the design enthusiasts, the transmitter that plugs into the iphone dock exudes 1/8 inch per side.
-receiver unit cannot charge and simultaneously receive signal. This sucks for me as I initially bought this unit to leave the receiver plugged in all the time and connect various devices(ipod ) on the go. But no go...
-initial pairing is a *itch, but once established is good to go.
-minor point=incoming calls whilst on internet radio or Pandora or Lastfm, does cause havoc by resetting system pair....

Conclusion
All in all, for the price, you cannot complain(at this point in time) the inherent features that this unit possess.

Awesome Product! [Posted on 2008-09-21]
Seriously a good buy and shipping was insanely fast. I recoomend these head phones for anyone looking for a good, cheap, bluetooth headset. The best thing now is that, I don't have to worry about chords when I am working out.
