Geek squad design, weak soundAs I do a considerable amount of traveling, I thought that I would treat myself to some incredible headphones to use with my ipod and treo. Researching the market, the product description can lead one to see these earphones as a real possibility.
The reality is that the design is quite bulky and not discrete to wear, in short, geeky looking. The sound lacks any kind of richness that one would expect from a premium earphone. God bless the 30-day money back guarantee ;-)
Great quality though could be better designedThe pluses are what you would expect from Shure headphones; exeptional sound quality, great sound isolation, durable cords.
The negatives were much less expected. Unlike the photo on amazon, the connector which switches between headset connector and headphone connector is very large.
I was also disapointed with the functionality. I had hoped that It would automatically switch to the phone when it rang, or at least provide some indication that it rang. When you have two devices (iPod and BBerry in my case) hooked up to a long cord with large connector, you can't expect people to keep their phone on their belt or in their pocket so that they can feel it vibrate. You also can't expect them to hear the phone ring given the excellent sound isolation that these headphones provide.
Ultimately I think I need to wait for an integrated phone / mp3 player that automatically switches over as calls come in and that supports a standardized headset/headphone adapter with built in mute and volume buttons.
