Motorola S305

I treated myself to a little gadget while I was over in the states:

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US...adphones-US-EN

Ordered from Amazon, delivered to the hotel. I've been conferencing on the laptop a lot recently (pair programming with people on open source stuff), and my wired usb headset was getting a bit cumbersome, so I wanted something a little sweeter. It supports the A2DP and headset profiles, so they are still useful as stereo headphones on their own - I used them to watch a film in the airport coming back

They're working brilliantly with the Hero as well - Android detects the 2 profiles, and automatically sends the right audio to the right profile, so my music still sounds good, and I can take calls without any faff. And they both support AVRCP, so the play/stop/forward/backward buttons on the headset work.

It's also my PS3 headset in case I need that as well.

Not much point to this, just felt it's praises needed singing. Got it significantly cheaper over there and it's working really well

Sounds like they've improved a bit since I got my A2DP set (also Motorola). I found the audio kept breaking up on mine and gave up with them (still got them but I expect the li-ion battery is dead by now - as it is with my three other bluetooth earpieces which I also didn't get on with).

Looks cool, i've got a bluetooth headset but i can't take myself wearing it seriously. The stick out far to massive off my ears

Thats my only problem with them. Otherwise it would be perfect!
