Just have to say after one day of use back and forth to work on the bus/subway these headphones are fairly decent with just a little tightness on the head with glasses. I tried the flip method but that somewhat "discombobulated" me as I am used to hearing the L-R speakers a certain way. Okay sound for playing music off my HP Touchpad (bought during the fire sale) of mostly Mp3's and some FLAC's. Pairing was no problem. The sound off my laptops are much better but I haven't used them much for that purpose. Overall, I would say it is better than the bad reviews I have seen but not a US$90 product.

Some have said Windows 7 is not compatible but I had no issues pairing and listening to sound through these on Windows 7. Perhaps it could be the bluetooth software I have but for me it was easy.

Chi. Yes, I want you to do something for me. I want you to go in my room, look over my suits, in the ceiling, up on the ceiling you'll see a key stuck there. I want you to take it down and bring it to me. Meet me at the Total Experience in one halfa hour. Can you dig it?

Got them today. Very happy with the speed of the shipping. Unfortunately the headphones themselves are crap.

These are some of the most uncomfortable pieces of junk I have ever had the displeasure to wear. Within 5 minutes of wearing them I get a pounding headache each time. None of the buds make them fit comfortably in my ear canal, and the sound is mediocre at best.

Is there any way to return these things? If not, it's the trash can for 'em.

Is anyone else having problems with pairing their headphones? I have attempted to pair with multiple devices, but the headphones never seem to show up in discovered devices. I 've turned the headphones on and off multiple times to no avail.

My s9's have never had an issue pairing with my Win7 machine.

I'm glad you're happy with them.

I think they do take returns, but you might want to allow time for them to get "broken in." Maybe put them on something wider than your head, during the times you're not wearing them.

Otherwise, I'd be tempted to take them off your hands, despite the 2 I have on the way and the various models we have here, already. (She'll kill me for even thinking this.)

If they're like the s9's, you pair them by pressing the power button for a long time (6-7 seconds, I think). They don't automatically go into pairing mode when turned on, like some devices do.

On all the models I've owned (all Motorola) I press the power button until the blue light comes on and STAYS on. That means it's in pairing mode.

Good luck.

I finally got a confirmation/tracking email. I hope that means it was shipped before today, but I'm guessing it just left the warehouse, some time today.

Maybe that's what I get for waiting as long as I did to order. I wonder if the first ones to order were the first to reach "shipped" status.

Looks like I placed my order on Friday at 1:44am MST. My shipping conf. was sent Saturday evening but they aren't here. I'm so impatient. :-/

I'm in the same boat. Ordered mine before noon PST on Friday, got my confirmation Saturday (which doesn't even give me updates on the location of the package), and have been waiting ever since. Anyone know where they're being shipped from?

Just received mine, tried all the tips that were included (each were in their own sealed baggie inside a larger baggie, and a set on them already), and found a pair I liked.

I do have glasses, but they are thin flat ear pieces, it does hold the glasses down so they don't move as much, but if I hit the collar of my shirt my glasses move. Kind of annoying with a high collar, but I'm sure a t-shirt won't be an issue.

Sound is fine for what I want, I just need a non-corded set of headphones. As for the feel, not sure yet, my head is a bit large, but it's not uncomfortable wearing them.

Going to use them most of the day and see what I think. But so far, they are decent enough for what they are.

Had no issues pairing with my iPod touch.

My tracking info says it shipped USPS, but when I copy and paste that number to Fedex, it shows as SmartPost. You might see if the tracking number shows up in the Fedex system.

I got mine, today. Charging, now.

The fit is a little different than I'm used to, but then, this is my 3rd or 4th different model.

I've got a big-ass head, but more in the Aliens-egg-in-the-back sense than in the Coneheads sense, so that may be why it just feels secure, not uncomfortable.

Of course, my opinion would be worth more if I'd worn them more than the past 60 seconds, but that's my first impression.

Charging them now, while using my 6 or 7 year old HT820's.

Mine is showing a delivery date of the 28th on FedEx's web site. From Dallas to NC takes a week? I think they should be called Pony Express, or PonEx for short.

Mine showed up today. At first I thought they were missing the extra earbuds, but they were hiding in the plastic.

As someone else said, to pair you have to hold the power button for ~7 seconds (the light will hold steady blue). Once I got past those two little snags they're up and running. Now the real test will be to see how the feel while jogging--they're a bit snug on my large melon but we'll give them a while before writing them off.

They pair just like I said. I had no problems with any aspect of using them, from what I can tell. My issues seem to be related to my sorry-@$$ provider.

Anyway, I've had a pair on my head for more than a couple of hours now, if I'm not mistaken. I noticed that they're much more flexible, where it counts, than the previous models. (That sounds filthy, but moving on...)

I can feel some pressure on my temples, but dayum that's offset by how closely these things fit in my ears. THIS is the fit I've always wanted. Whenever I'd push most other earbuds, including my Bluetooth headphones, into my ears more, the sound would be sooo much better that I'd wish they'd stay like that.

No such luck before, but now I'm getting just what I wanted. Also, I'm probably kinda use to that snugness a bit more than most.

Oohhh. I just took'em off and that's quite a relief after 3 hours.

Got my set yesterday, 24-April. Sound quality could be better, but then again these aren't Beats Audio or Bose. Build quality seems good. Excellent condition. And it came with 5 sets of ear buds. Great little device amounted for an even better woot. Glad I decided to purchase because they later sold out around noon that day.

If you are having trouble tracking your package I suggest doing what an earlier poster said. Paste the numbers into FedEx. Worked for me. Scheduled to arrive Saturday. Now that is more woot like in speed.

Just got these today, charged em for about 30 minutes, lasted my whole 2 hour workout.. First off the sound quality of these are horrible, I understand these are sweat proof, but damn these are bad.. The fit on my huge head was awkward... Might be trying some jay birds.. Dont even think these are worth the $30 I spent on them.

got mine today and charged them up to full in about an hour. The fit is a little bit tight (i wear glasses), but after about 10 minutes they loosen up and i don't even notice them. The sound quality isn't as good as my over the ear phones, but i wasn't expecting them to be stellar quality, but these'll work for what I want to use them for. I plan on pairing them with my work computer to listen to music during the day. If that doesn't work, i'll pair them to my android tab and listen to spotify via the wireless i guess... :-D

Got mine a few days ago and started using them on my iPhone and the first thing I thought was that the sound was GREAT! Maybe you got a bum pair.

BTW-I just paired with Windows 7 PC and pretty much plug and play.

No real problems with mine after a few songs worth of listening. I did have to do a reset (hold down power and "+") to get it to pair with my phone.

I haven't tried them for phone use, and my expectations are low since the microphone is buried in the right earpiece. But my previous headset was useless for that purpose too -- just good enough to say "I'm driving, so I can't talk much".

It came with the Hulk-sized earpieces installed by default, which I'll try for a while. They don't fit in my ears, but they don't block the outside world either, which is a plus for me. I'd rather hear the car coming *before* it turns me into a grease spot.

I had to email woot, but I finally got a tracking # that worked and they arrived today.

These thigs suck. What a complete waste of money. I've been wanting a pair of bluetooth headphones for a long time. I should have done some research rather than buying the first good deal that came up on woot.

Cons:
-They're really tight, and I'm a 31 year old woman with an average sized head.
-None of the SIX pairs of ear buds feel comfortable.
-The left speaker is MUCH quieter than the right, which pretty much defeats the purpose of headphones.
-My hair gets wrapped around them and pulled out every time I try to put them on. I guess that's my fault for having long hair.

Pros:
-Maybe my BFF's 5 year old can use them when she visits.
-Only took 45 minutes to charge the first time.

What a bummer.

i agree.. the person who designed these phones must have a really small head and huge ears..

Just got mine today and after about 30 minutes of trying the different buds decided that I would just re-list them on eBay.. because I could not for the life of me find a position that they didn't hurt.

...Then I realized I had them on upside-down. Just a heads up for those of you that think they aren't fitting right. The motorola logo on the back should be facing up!

Great woot! Glad I grabbed it in time!

Got my headphones in today. There's a hardware issue. Audio sounds tinny and volume won't go up all the way. Talking to Motorola as I type this and they're gonna replace them. Good customer service!

If volume is the major problem make sure you turn it up on the headset. Seems to operate independently of my iphone. Needed to use the volume button on the headphones, then use my iphone volume.

Have to say after letting them run for a while I think the sound has opened up a great deal. Maybe that is just me getting use to the fit or finding the right plugs but I am liking my purchase a great deal. And having used them for phone calls I think that works pretty well too. Only real complaint is the difficulty of use of the buttons on the headpbhones themselves but that has been pretty much true of every bluetooth headset I have used.

Like others, I have not received mine. ordered 4/20, now 5/15 and nothing. Agree that the tracking number appears to be fedex rather than usps but no status updates on either.

Have emailed woot customer service today, hoping that they are able to send new shipment/refund asap. Have enjoyed woot always, hoping this doens't spoil the experience.
