    Yeah, I bought a pair. They have good reviews and a 2 year warranty, for $23 you can't go wrong.

    Alright...if you can do it..so can I. :D

    I like these...last week they had the Sennheisers for nearly the same price...and took the price down, right after I postd the deal.... :eek:

    There's something about these! ;)

    Will you let me know when you get yours? :cool:

    It's got some great user feedback and priced very attractively too.

    Looks great, Cin!

    Too bad the iPhone cannot stream music through Bluetooth. I have read about some hacks for the iPhone but nothing I'd want to attempt.

    These headphones seem really nice.

    Iphone's version 3.0 should be able to do this. I suggest you buy this and just wait for it.

    Did you end up ordering? :D It's such a good deal! What about Built's suggestion of the Adapter? And, ronnieb's advice on Iphones' Version 3.0 coming out?

    Got my headphones! Fantastic choice. They are comfortable, look nice, and work well. They charge via USB port, which I love because I would rather plug them into a computer since I travel home on most weekends. I haven't tried the mic yet, but I am happy enough with the headphones for $23 that I don't care if it works, let alone well.
