I'm hesitating to buy this new head phone. I will be curious to see your impression with Omnia.. I saw a lot of review but I can't decide at this moment

I bought these instead. http://www.jaybirdgear.com/ I like that they go behind the ears and stay in place while jogging, etc. They work GREAT with the Omnia.

Yes mine may not be ideal for action movement. The shop had both and we had a long discussion with the sales person. But since mine will be used mainly in the car or public transport the smaller size won the day. For jogging etc (I use a treadmill mostly), I have another wired set that fits snugly in the ear and clips to the shorts.

Charged and off to test it shortly.

$160 for 4 hours of music playback seems like a rip-off to me...

I have these headphones:

They are the best bluetooth headphones ive had yet...Battery life is 12 hours while listening to music, and they cost less than half of those $160 headphones.

Someone is ripping people off @ 160 usd. I got those for 117.

What's the battery life like? And does it use the standard SE charger?

Unfortunately no, the battery is hidden into the right earbud and and there is a slight notch which will assist with lifting it upwards. Quite easy to use once you get used to lifting a tiny cap.

First charged it last night in accordance with the manual - 8 hrs, though the green light comes on after 2-3 hours, charging should be allowed to continue since it takes a really long long time to charge the final 10-20%, just like our Omnia. A green light does not indicate a full charge.

Battery life - as advertised ie about 4 hours. Left it running playing music until it totally discharged.

Sound quality - excellent. The buds are quite large but a bit of a twist and they will fit snugly (for a while). One doesnt want total noise isolation especially when driving so an occassional twist is fine with me. But it is better to test with the other supplied buds as well some may give a better fit then the default one.

Cons - the tiny control means that volume and back and forth cannot be controlled from the unit. Have to do that on the phone.

Otherwise all works fine.

Personal opinion - there will be more of these units from other manufacturers who will no doubt rush out with their own creations. Waiting for the day for the wire to disappear, and fits unobtrusively just like those we see in the movies. hehe
