Not so good headphones
I was really excited about getting the jaybird 200 headphones after having no luck with the motorola hd9 headphones. Suprisingly, the jaybirds lasted me about 2 weeks before i started having sound quality issues and then a week later they will not turn on at all. I am now waiting for jaybird to get in the newest model in February so i can return these and get something else. Very disappointing. I guess i should have just saved money and stayed with the wired headphones.

Not worth it
I got these headphones because I was looking for a good quality wireless set to go running with and not have to worry about getting tangled in wires. While the sound quality is pretty good, the functionality of the headphones are not very good. The earbuds were difficult to fit in my ears and constantly needed to be adjusted while running. Also, I'm not sure if I got a defective charger, but when I would charge the headphones the red light would go off relatively soon after I placed them in the base and I wouldn't always have a full charge. This led to the headphones cutting out on my while running and I was often left with dead headphones on many runs. I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone looking for a comfortable wireless headphone set for exercising.

these are for sweaty exercize not critical listening.
I've had these since April and used them about 60 times for riding mtn bike or going to the gym. previously I found an incredible deal on some motorola S9's (3.99 at goodwill) the freedom they gave me was great until sweat shorted them out and they died. They came back to life after they dried but wouldn't work for exercise. this is how I found jaybird. I paired them with my new phone instead of my nano with the included transmitter. that proved to be the source of a lot of aggrivation. your device may be a2dp but not all bluetooth chips are necessarily good. I suspect many issues people have come from poor transmitters or device implementation. phone makers know were maximizers and the more features the better the value right? After I realized my motorola evoke QA4 was a steaming pile of doodoo I gave the JB's a shot with my nano and the included ipod transmitter on the 200i's. it works as advertised. good pairing, decent sound, sweat-proof (not submergeable) stays on and out of the way.

if I wanted to get in shape next year I'd have gladly waited for the next revision if they address some issues. the fit isn't great- they don't stay stuck right in your ear hole. that could be the intention so that sweat drains freely with out pooling and submerging the driver. the problem though is that on the bike the wind noise cuts the already weak volume in half. these lasted 4.5 hours the other day when I cycled the battery which is plenty for workouts. I suggest they boost the power for volume and range if possible at the cost of listening time. the charging dock should have a positive magnetic connection like the jawbone has. it comes loose easily. I also suspect that there's no circuitry in the dock that breaks the circuit when fully charged. the phones do "turn off" but I think after it's done recharging the charge reverses back into the dock. this might be why they instruct you to remove them from the dock after the red light goes out. who disconnects their stuff after it's charged? not only is it inconvenient it leads to dead batteries when you go to use them. take them off the charger they may sit for days and drain leave them on the charger they seem to go dead too. I don't know why but every so often when I have to drag myself to the gym my jaybirds are dead! this has made working out very stressful at times. as others have said the cord sticks to your neck which tugs at the earpieces. perhaps a different kinda insulator might work better or a coiled cord with some give. once the sweat starts rolling though the cord slides freely.

this all sounds really bad but they do solve a problem and the shortcomings aren't as bad as they sound. if you don't sweat much or exercise in the rain these are not for you in the first place. if you listen to classical music in the flac format you will be disappointed. when I exercise I'm not that critical I just need something to push me or keep me going. The range is short but comparable with my S9's. like they say in the manual that's the nature of stereo bluetooth especially outdoors. I give this 4 stars because it is great to have a wireless solution for intense sweaty workouts. I was killing wired phones almost monthly from the wires catching and eventually shorting. Now I don't have to slow down to deliberately unlock the ipod and skip a song. I just press the button behind my ear and keep my HR up. I've used corded phones since and realized I don't want to go back to that. this product is balancing lots of design factors for a niche consumer and they succeed at what they set out to do... now please make them better.

Garbage
I was looking for a good Bluetooth headset for my iPod when I commute to work on the subway. Using wired headphones in crowded streets is not always ideal as they caught with people and turnstyles easily. I picked up these Jaybird headphones and I have these negative comments:

1) Reception is horrible you have to have your ipod on the right side of your body in your lower right pocket at least or else reception cuts in and out
2) Track fwd and Track back does not work. Maybe if you are lucky it will
3) Putting on takes some getting use to but in the summer the cable on the back sticks to your neck and then when you turn your head you get pulling of the earpieces.
4) The in-ear buds don't work too well, I'm not sure who designed these but these are horrible.
5) Turning off the headphones is ok, but when you turn off your ipod, the transmitter still flashes blue and then drains your IPOD battery. Only good way is to disconnect the thing all the time. I found it drained my iPod battery when I put my Ipod away with it connected
6) Walking on the streets of NYC this thing doesn't work, it'll cut in and out. Too much interference.
7) Never got the headset for the phone to work. Couldn't use it for my iPod and then my blackberry. It sucked pairing with my blackberry

Don't waste your money with these crappy bluetooth headphones. Jay-Bird....Jay-stinks...it's bird droppings...
