Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone – Supports Wireless Music Streaming and Hands-Free Calling

just got these in today, and I've already got one extremely good pro with these, that not alot of Bluetooth "makers" do when it comes to their products.The first thing ill point out, and by far my favorite feature thus far, is the fact that while these charge u CAN use them still. I've had several BT headsets, and headphones where while it's charging you CANNOT use it, at all.Secondly, being a HUGE music buff, i need good sound. I don't have a full range sound system in my car for no reason. The sound quality of these, listening to more metal/black metal/rock/punk styles of music, is exceptional. It's not horrible, of course its not the best out there, but for the price its not bad at all. It doesn't hit the extreme lows of say some rap/dub but there is still a presence of some moderate level bass. The mid-high range is decent, it does get slightly "scratchy" at extreme volumes but its not horrible.Last thing ill touch on is pairing. It paired quick and easy with my phone, samsung solstice. I did have a slight issue pairing it to my BT dongle on my comp but i realized i didn't have the "official" driver installed for it, which shouldn't have been a issue but it was. Found the disk for it and it paired with no issues, its a SMK-LINK VP6493.As of now there are no issues with this device. I've only given it 4 stars for now to leave, room, for any "early judgement" on the device. I got this more or less for flights as I've been traveling a lot lately. I will update this within the next couple weeks to let you guys know how it does traveling/while working.Edit - 9/24/2012one thing i forgot to touch on, was how comfortable this was. At first it did seem a little small. it was a little annoying getting my hair around it. However after it was on it wasn't all that uncomfortable. A tad small but it fits and it doesn't "squeeze", and it doesn't yank on my ears. There is a video review for this item that touches on how comfortable this product is and he hits the nail on the head as some would say.edit - 10/13/2012after a couple weeks, these headphones are still rolling, in most cases they outlast my phone *Samsung solstice* when I'm listening to music. call quality is good, I've only had a few instances where the other person couldn't hear me but I'm not positive if it was the headset as the phones the company i work for use suck, horribly. i use them daily while at work and home, the distance around the house is about 15-20 feet going through 1 or 2 walls, i know of 1 wall in the house that is a solid block wall and any connection *even my routers going through that wall directly to the other side* has issues with thick walls. I've also been on 3 flights with them and had no issues. occasionally however when at work it will cut out for a split second but its nothing to major.I've upped this to 5 stars for now, will keep you guys updated as to full longevity of them in a single use.

I just got them yesterday. They took longer than most Amazon orders to get here, but not bad. Good news, I can hear calls on my Iphone, if any of you have an Iphone you know that the speaker is nearly worthless in a car or truck. With these I have at least double the volume that the Iphone provides and it is hands free. They do have a reach of about 30 feet. Within range it is perfectly clear and my friends say they hear me better than they ever have on speaker. I have a bad upper back and cannot hold a phone to my head for long and till now I have used speaker almost exclusively. I would have given 5 stars, but the instructions are only one page, written like a 1st grader, printed both sides and the description on the Amazon page is almost as informative as the instructions. Fortunately they are easy to use and the one page instruction got me going and everything works. If you are wearing them and a call comes in, you just touch the ear piece and and it comes through. I haven't tried the voice activated calling, the Iphone 4S that I have calls Dave when I ask for Bob, so I will ignore that capability and do it the old fashioned way. It hooked up to the Iphone as neat as can be, anyone who can't do that is retarded, I mean they made it simple as pie. I have a land line that is bluetooth and it wanted me to unhook the cell phone before I could connect to it, so it, or my land line V-Tech phone, won't do both at a time. Since I got it for the Iphone I just told V-Tech to take a hike, the speaker on it is loud enough for the house. If there are any problems I will re-post and let you know, but for the first couple days my friends and I are impressed. One thing. I had a Jawbone and I once fired a shotgun while talking and my buddy didn't hear it. It has amazing background suppression. Today I was talking and turned on the tap for a glass of water and my buddy asked if I was chewing glass, so this does not have sound suppression. I will see tomorrow how it works in the car as I have a Dr. Appt. about 45 miles away, and see if my friends can hear me over car noise. If they can hear me I will upgrade it to a 5. The Jawbone cost me around $100 and this was only $30, so I don't want to compare it to Jawbone for tech. One the other hand, the Jawbone was a pain in the ear and kept falling out and this is snug and comfortable. Update after field trial. fredtWorks great in truck. Friends think so too Loud and clear. Touch to answ. Touch to hang up. Apparently noise isn't a problem cause buddy said he could hear me better than ever. Comfortable too. Love it so far. Battery is good too. FredtSomeone asked if it has a microphone on it, it does and everyone says I am louder and easier to hear than ever. The insructions say to run the battery completely down the first three times and it took over a week to run the durn thing down. Great, inexpensive product. The background noise from my Garmin bothers a buddy of mine and they don't make a product with noise suppression. The cust. service is great. I have emailed them several times with questions and they answer me the next day with great explanations. They are working on better instructions, but I love it just like I got it. I will keep an eye for more Kinivo stuff, I like them.UpdateThe longer I have them the better I like them. Battery life is unbelievable. Music sounds like great stereo system.
