***UPDATE***
This company is amazing. I am well outside of my 1 year warranty and the top band snapped when I was putting the headphones on recently. I have an older generation and I use these headphones every day, so they take considerable wear and tear. Contacted Meelectronics and they sent me pretty much every component that could wear out that I can easily replace myself. Truly a company that backs its products.
When I finally manage to wear this headset out completely, I will be purchasing another from Meelectronics without a second thought.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't say enough good about this headset. Purchased based on other customer reviews and I'm glad I did! I won't usually purchase a brand that I've never heard of before, however after a little research I discovered MEElectronics is a large player in the wireless audio playing field. Having been a DJ for 13 years starting on Vinyl, and a trained Studio Engineer, I expect a lot from anything that emits audio.
The Pros:
1. Com-for-table. At work I sit in front of a computer screen for hours at a time. I wear this headset for the entire time and I don't feel discomfort. Some headphones I've used in the past will make the crown of my head ache after long exposure, not these! Also, the ear pads have a ton of cushion to add to the comfort level.
2. Sync is a breeze, just hold the power button till you see a red and blue flash, discover it with your device, and sync. I've never had to enter a pin code, however that may just be the devices I'm using.
3. Battery life = amazing. I can go days of extended use without having to recharge. They do take a while to get a full charge after dying, and they will annoy you to plug them in once they need a charge, however when starting from a full charge you can go a long time without plugging them in. Also, in the event you just have to listen to that next song, you can hard wire them with the included cable and it bypasses the Bluetooth feature completely.
4. The side buttons are a great feature. Both the power button or the pickup/end call button will start/stop playback when listening to music. The advance or go back buttons are a big help as well, you don't have to wake your device when you find that track you have to hear over and over! Unfortunately (and this is a common theme among my Bluetooth headsets) the volume buttons only control the volume on the headset. I generally max out this feature and forget about it, using my device if I want to adjust the volume.
5. The most important Pro is the SOUND!!! Bass response = yes. Treble = yes. Do they sound amazing = YES! I was surprised when I put these on and heard them for the first time. I had expected a lot of grainy, screechy sound to emerge from the headset like the first time I heard an MP3. The headset is (mostly) clear, and has great range. Not to say there isn't any interference from time to time, however I would take these over (almost) any of my wired headsets on a regular basis.
*one thing to note about sound quality, it has a lot to do with your source. if you bake a cake with sour milk, the cake is going to come out sour. the same can be said for sound quality, if you listen to a poor source, the sound experience won't meet your expectations.
The Cons:
1. The headset has some discoloration after prolonged used. I choose not to purchase the black headset as other users mentioned that it had finger smudges, much like the screen on a smart device. I figured this would drive me crazy so I opted for the white, feeling it wouldn't have that problem. The texture on the headset absorbs dirt, and, where I touch it on a regular basis to put it on, has become a reddish color. I figure a good cleaning will fix this, however if you're a stickler for perfection it might drive you crazy (which is exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place!)
2. When using with my Android devices, I noticed a considerable delay (like 2 seconds) between screen touches and audio response. When used with my iPod touch that has Bluetooth 4.0, this delay didn't exist. I have recently upgraded my phone which now has Bluetooth 4.0, and my tablet which doesn't have Bluetooth 4.0, but is running the latest Android version, and this problem has gone away. I have no idea what caused it, however I wanted to mention it here as a forewarning.
In the end, I rolled the dice on this product and ended up hitting the jackpot. Great price, great sound, more than I expected out of a manufacturer I've never hear of makes this a 5 star product!

Great headpones for the price, excellent sound, and they last!
The sound is excellent for these headphones, they are great for the price. Good bass response, and I like that I can fold them up and put them away in the cloth bag that came with them. Also they are comfortable for extended wear, the pillowed ear pads are a plus in this respect.However, the reason it only gets 4 stars instead of 5: Occasionally, when I turn them on and they connect in my iPad, I don't get proper control from the headphones for some reason. Either the song won't start, or there is no volume when the song is playing. I'm not sure whether to blame the headphones for this, or the iPad, or maybe it's a compatibility issue? I didn't have this issue with my Go-Groove Wi-Fi headphones, even though the sound was not nearly as good as these phones are. At any rate, it doesn't happen too often, and I'm hoping there might be some kind of a firmware fix for it, if it does become a recurring problem.Would I recommend these to a friend? Most assuredly, I would, and I bought a pair of these for my wife for Christmas. When I paired them to her iPad and listened to them, I was so impressed with the sound quality that I bought a pair of these for myself when my Go-Groove phones finally started to give out.EDIT: Dec 30, 2015After having these for over a year, they still work great, and a couple of iOS updates later, they connect better with the iPad. Also, for those worried about the materials used in constructing these headphones, have no fears- I have dropped these on the concrete probably a hundred times, and they are no worse for the wear. The ear-pads are still as comfortable as the day I got them in the mail, too. It finally gets the 5-star rating!
