this is the same headset as the previous kyocera direct deal, but even cheaper with free shipping and google checkout instant rebate (after which it'll be 19.99!). I got a pair of these and they work very well, with impeccable build quality. It's also stylishly designed IMHO. At the price, there's just no competition that I know of.
Kyocera is apparently putting them on clearance. Good time to snatch a pair.
Ooo darn you fatwallet. I don't really need them since only my laptop has A2DP but I feel a real need to get them.

How easily do these fit on your ears? I hate headphones that constantly fall off. I also see 15 hours talk time or 300 hours standby... any input on how long you can listen to music on them?

I should guess you'd be able to listen for 15 hours or longer since talking on them would require signal in two directions while listening only requires that it recieves a signal from your source.

Any one has experience with this headset in Linux?
I also got this from the Kyocera direct deal. I'm pretty satisfied with it. It fits ok on my ears. It's not snug fit like those in-ear mono headsets because it feels loose when I tilt my head in every direction but forward. It's fine for indoor environments and I wouldn't use it outdoors.
I have a pair I ordered from the original thread. It works well with my computer. I haven't had much luck with my cingular 8125 cell phone, but I haven't tried too hard - I already have a mono headset for that.
I had a set of the Logitech bluetooth for Ipod headphone and were very happy with them in terms of music and battery life. But they were so inflexible and my head is so big that they eventually cracked right in the middle, almost like a wishbone. I think I'm in for one. I hope they get here before my trip to Florida on Friday (6 hours of traveling). I'll put a bunch of Samurai Jack episodes on my Fusic.

I got a pair of these from the first deal and I hate them.
They're cheap, but the darn things are bulky. The biggest problem, however, is the connectivity. The signal cuts out whenever a large/solid object gets in between the receiver and your phone.
e.g. I generally keep my phone (LG VX8600) in my left pocket. The signal cuts out every time I take a step (when my torso is between the phone and the right earpiece). If I want to listen while I'm in the move, I have to resort to holding my phone in my hand. Not good. Just letting everyone know.

P.S. if anyone wants to buy my pair, let me know.
The receiver end is not the problem. The tranceiver from your LG phone is class 2 bluetooth (weak stuff). If you have a class 1 transceiver, then you wouldn't have this problem. I don't get cut offs on the headphones at all unless I literally walk away from the transceiver to a different room
