Conclusion

I love using these for music. I'll say it again, as a wired solution they are simply the best headphones I've ever used. As a wireless solution, they are enjoyable as well. I'll wear these around the house (the Bluetooth range is excellent) or plugged into my computer. As a headset, they are only fair. There are two options. When you pair the device, you can choose the wireless profile to be headphone only, not headset so you'll take calls on your Treo in the usual way. If you do use them as a headset, consider them a sort of back up, or convenience. Although the conversation is clear, the tones are not pleasant. If you can live with that, then this is a great combo. Also, the bulk of these headphones will get you a lot of stares if you are walking down the street. Sitting and working or around the house, okay, but the fashion police will be after you if you're outside. They may block out a bit too much sound for safe travel on foot.

Despite those limitations, these are well, well worth the money. $139.95 is a lot, but for the best headphones I've used, the ability to use them wireless or wired, and great charging options, track control and the rest, they are definitely worth the money. Think of the headset function as a bonus item, not the reason you'd buy these in the first place.
