Nice....the Logitech looks cooler though. But of course performance is more important than looks.
How about reviews for keyboards and mice? They are two most-used input hardware.
Reviews might be useful.

I think the concept is great and it is definitively getting better however something more discrete or less bulky would not hurt. If I wear one of those things people are going think that Vince Vaughn had me wear my ear muffs!

Typical useless CNET review. I want to know how the SQ compares to wired headphones. How does it stack up? I've had wireless USB headsets and the quality is far behind wired headsets.

Own the Logitech unit and they work pretty good. They definitely have better range than the reviewer experienced and the clarity is much better than the bluetooth unit (Jabra) I had been using.
I like the fact that there is no software install, but that means it limits the capabilities to a headset, so where the Jabra has lots of media controls, you only get volume and mute. The LED in the boom to show you that you are on mute is very nice touch.

Audio quality is mixed, the Jabra seemed to have a fuller response, but experienced regular dropouts while the Logitech's are rock solid, but seem a little thinner. Compared to my Sony V900 wired headphones, the audio for both is definitely lacking.

These look really comfortable, but they are a little stiff and after a couple hours fo conference calls get tiring to wear.

Biggest pet peeve is keeping up with the dongle. Logitech should have built a clip into the unit to hold the dongle.

A real report would include pricing and a comparison with the "standard", i.e. wired headsets.
