Pros:
This headset connects easily to all bluetooth devices and is seemless with both music and phone calls.
Cons:
NONE!!!
I bought this headset to allow me to listen to music while in the gym working out. The first day I was on the weights I received a business call and it went seamlessly from music to phone and back without me doing much except pull my blackberry out of its holster.
The sound quality is excellent and I am impressed with the range I get in the gym.
If you have tried other headsets (I own a Bose) without Bluetooth I would say this is the top of the line and I recommend it to everyone.

Pros:
Audio Clarity, Signal Strength
Cons:
Fragile frame
The Sony DR-BT50 is a great Bluetooth Stereo headset to own. I've had it for 10 months and have no regrets of purchasing this at Sony Style year when it was on sale refurbished for $60. Its crisp, clear sounds and its balance with its base are great attributes.
My only complaint is that the frame going to the speakers are fragile. My headphones fell off once in class and it collected a series of cracks, 2 months later one of the four legs broke. So now it is super-glued and taped together.
I'll still rate this five starts for its quality, however if Sony revises the DR-BT50 I hope they'll use a more durable plastic material or use a metal frame.

Pros:
17 hours/charge, and very comfortable.
Cons:
Nothing.
I bought these 3 years ago after my Kenwood KPM-610's ear pads disintegrated. Back then I was afraid wireless audio wouldn't measure up, but it does. The ear pad's on DR-BT50's are about 10x more comfortable than my Kenwood's were. Positioning the drivers at an angle means they can be worn long hours without constant pressure on the ear lobes.
I use them for TV, movies and music. All sound great. These headphones show no wear at all, after 3 years of heavy use.
The only thing that would make them better is if they had an option for corded operation, so I could use them even more.

Pros:
Good sound quality when it works.
Cons:
Difficult to connect, works on some systems and not on others, expensive
I bought that set because it was the best wireless set available and was willing to pay premium for a good brand. What a disappointement. Most of the times it does not connect. If I sit next to the computer and when it connnects it is nice sound.

Pros:
Great sound, good fit, wireless performance
Cons:
controls on headphone small. hard to adjust
These headphones sound great and are very comfortable. I purchased these wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my I-Pod touch and Playstation 3 and I am very happy with them.
The only complaint I have is the volume control on the headphone is very small and it is hard to adjust the volume with them on my head.

Pros:
sound quality, bluetooth, battery life
Cons:
Buttons REAL small
A real treat to use. Works well with my bluetooth laptop and with a Verizon Droid phone. Now if they would only make a noise-canceling version..... Not the most well built set ever, then again, they ARE light and foldable for easy carry in the laptop case...... I'd buy them again.

Pros:
Good Bass and Treble!!!
Cons:
Noise Cancelling feature in the future.
Got this for a week! I can't believe these headphones are actually wireless, the sound quality is so excellent. I've owned several bluetooth stereo headphones like those from motorola, iogear and wirevo, these headphones were way superior in sound quality. Bass are so rich, trebles are very crisp and clear. The best part is that you don't hear any hissing sound at all which were very noticeable in most bluetooth headphones if no song is playing. Overall, it's also very light and very comfortable to wear. Except for being pricey, you really get what you paid for!!!

Pros:
Set-up, audio performance, appearance, versatility
Cons:
Too small ear pads/cups, too narrow design fit parameters
The SONY DR-BT50 is my first Bluetooth device. I received it on the same day that I installed the internal BT adapter in my DELL Inspiron 1520, particularly to eliminate more cord and cable clutter.
By the time the chip was installed, so was the DR-BT50 charged and shortly I had stumbled through the configuration - all new to me.
As a stereo headset the performance is better than my 60 y.o. ears. The balance between the headset controls and my VLC media player's control allow convenient operation.
My ears, my auricula are large enough that the ear cups sit do not enclose the auricula. The clamping force of the headband is strong enough to press the ear canal, auditory meatus shut. Larger in both diameters, major and minor ear pads will cure both ills.

Pros:
Sound Quality, Battery Length
Cons:
Durability
I had these headphones for about five or six years (whenever they first came out). The sound quality and noise reduction is excellent. The battery life is amazing and lasts far longer than I ever needed it to. I never ran the battery out before I had the opportunity to recharge. The big drawback comes in the durability. The plastic arms and everything plastic that supports the actual cans broke over time. Every single support arm degraded and broke over time. I was broken hearted when I had to throw them away. I will not be purchasing this item again for that reason (too pricey to have something fall apart)
