Summary: Good Performance, Easy Pairing, Flimsy Construction
Comment: I have used these headsets for more than 2 years with my iPod classic and a variety of Bluetooth cell phones. They are easy to pair, feel comfortable and the sound quality is very good. Battery life is fairly long - for my use, almost a week. The Bluetooth adapter that comes with 590A fits very snugly into the iPod 3.5 mm audio jack (unlike many others). Telescopic microphone is unobtrusive, works well on cell phones and the listeners at other end don't complain of poor voice quality.
The main drawback of these headsets is their flimsy construction, cheap plastic. One of the cables became loose after a year and the plastic casing on one side cracked. So the sound from one side is intermittent now. Other cons include tiny and poorly placed controls - almost unusable while wearing headsets, very bright blue light and they do not cover the ears completely so there is no blockage of background sound.
They are not the perfect Bluetooth headphones but in my experience they have worked better than the other ones that I have tried - iLUV 903 and Logitech

Summary: Great bluetooth stereo
Comment: The bluetooth stereo works great with my pda phone. The distance is about 30 feet. Using it for a headset is great also but the mic is too sensitive. I put tape over the mic to lower the ambiant noise.

Summary: Works great, when it works.
Comment: When this headset works it's awesome. This is a great device for talking to foreign countries using Skype. I don't enjoy being tethered to the computer. With this device I need only stay within a 30 foot radius of the computer. Gives me more freedom to stroll around a bit if mood strikes me.
It can also be used as a wireless headset for music. My purely subjective evaluation is that these headphone sound great. And it gives me the freedom to dance, if the mood hits me.
One downside, the first pair I got failed after a very short time. Amazon arranged for a new one to be sent at no charge as soon as I informed them of the situation. They also paid for the old one to be shipped back.
This was a while back (maybe Jan 08 although I'm not sure) and I haven't had a problem since then.

Summary: A disappointment
Comment: I bought the 590E to use with Skype and Yahoo Voice. I am using an HP computer with windows XP-SP2. I also purchased the Linksys USBBT100 bluetooth adapter. Even though the bluetooth adapter recognizes the headset it would not work with media player, VOIP or any other audio from the PC. This was a big disappointment as the only other option is a hard wire headset. A google search turned up many unhappy customers with the same problems as I am having, some over a year ago, and these devices are still claiming suitability for use with PC applications. I tried he headset with my cell and worked like a charm. Blue tooth headsets do not interface well with windows XP and this should be very clearly stated in the sales material. I recommend you find someone who has made this headset work on a PC before purchasing for that service.

Summary: Love to listen to music
Comment: I have never been up with technology. My friend always had music on his phone and was listening to it all the time. I wanted to do the same. Going into this not sure I came out very pleased. I have a M520 phone and I listen to music all the time now. It has loud speakers and eliminates background noises. I haven't quite figured out how to answer the calls because when I hit the button on he headphones my phone freezes up. I really enjoy them.
