I think he's got the headphones one?

I'm looking at the one that's just a bluetooth unit with a 3.5mm out...

My two-cents worth here is that I recently purchased a pair of BH-501s and am very satisfied with them. Around $US40 on ebay.

Wasn't aware this device but can certainly see the attraction if you don't mind wires.

I have got a set of BH-500.. I love them! Absolutely great, with very nice sound.. But i dont use the earplugs that came with them, as i get better sound using the earplugs that come with the Sony Ericsson W660i, better bass and higher quality in my oppinion.. I also have a set of BH-604 and they are great to.. I tend to use the 604 when im driving and the 500 when im working, walking or doing something active as they are lighter and more discreet..

Hrmmm thinking about getting it... How much worse is the sound than using a cable connection?? and I've heard of latency issues at high speeds (eg, when on the train...) ever heard of this happening??

Sound quality is in my oppinion very good.. Very close to what you get with cable.. I would say even a tad better then the BH-604's.. They handle cymbals and treble very good, where many bluetooth sets make a weird scratchy sound, thats close to unnoticable in the 500's.. I dont remember really how it sounded with the original plugs, as i replaced them with a set of plugs from the SE W660i as mentioned earlier, cause they really have better sound. I have not heard any latency problems during high speed.. I have used them while driving and havent noticed anything unusual. I dont see how travelling at high speed should affect a bluetooth set..

Really wish there was a way I could try 'em out first...

It could very well affect it if the speed you're travelling at is so fast that the stream of data couldn't keep up and gets left behind so to speak...

Well.. As long as the distance between the phone and headset is constant, i dont see how it will be affected as long as we are not talking about light speed.. hehe.. radio waves travel at a far higher speed then a train, so i dont think a train could have outrunned a bluetooth radio signal.. I havent had any latency problems whatsoever or any ill effects by speed using a bluetooth headset no matter what speed i have been travelling in.. including airplanes.. :)

Yeah I have the BH-500 and I find it great, even on the train! Terrible earphones bunded with them though, defo throw them out.
