Bluetooth Earphones Suggestions

[Khas]

Hi All,

I've been hunting for days, and I'm hoping some wisdom will come from the crowds on this forum

I'm looking for a set of Bluetooth earphones (not headphones or headsets, in-ear stereo A2DP buds). Which sounds simple enough, but it seems there's a lot of variability amongst them. Ideally, I'm looking for something with excellent battery life (at least about 10 hours music playback), MicroUSB charging (same connection as the desire, one less cable to worry about), microphone and call controls, good quality sound (I've got Sennheiser CX500s at the moment, I'd like at least that level of quality), and the ability to pair to two devices at once.

I guess the least important to me is the charging type, and most important to me is the battery life and sound quality.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? It's one thing to read specs, another to hear people's personal experiences!

Thanks in advance :-D

I'm using a Sony MW600. Charges with microUSB, has the normal phone controls and an FM radio. You can take out the supplied earphones and plug in your own headphones with a 3.5mm connector.

Those MW600's sure look the mutts

Nothing but good reviews. I've got the DS200's and the sound quality on those is superb...the only fly in the ointment is the inability to skip track and the very cumbersome workaround to adjust the volume by pressing and holding the Play/Pause button.

I've read one confusing (early) review that said that the track skip button doesn't work with the Nexus One....is this true?

If not - it's top of the list for Fathers Day

Thanks guys!

That was one of the ones that popped up, but the reviews on Amazon were mixed (Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews: Sony Ericsson MW-600 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones). What's the mic like on it? Is it easy enough to pair? I had problems with the DS970s where they don't pair with the phone part of the desire. Is the multi-pairing ok?
