iMuff Bluetooth head phones.......2007-11-13

The product works as advertised. I can sync. the iMuffs to my cell phone while listening to music on my Ipod. The only thing I can complain about is switching between the phone and Ipod, there is a longer delay then expected. Otherwise this product works well and is a little pricey.

Not for running.......2007-09-03

I bought these hoping to run with them. They bounce around too much, and the music goes in and out. I also think it created some problems with my ipod. I sold them on ebay.

Some problems encountered.......2007-08-23

I purchased these last Dec. Sound good and comfortable though does not screen out any noise -- of course not designed to. Had much trouble figuring out how not to drain my iPod. If I followed their advice and just put the pod into sleep, it would be drained by the next day. Best was to turn off both the iPod and the headphones manually. Even with best management, you will only get about 5-6 hours of play from your pod.
After a few months, the LED blue light on my unit stopped working. Called them up, still under warranty so sent it back, insured, etc. They sent me a new one, though I had to call after 2 weeks as they still had not gotten to it. Most disappointing was that they insisted I had not sent back the charger with it, which I had. There was not a way to prove it other than that my shipment to them weighed 12 oz and was much too heavy for just the light weight iMuffs alone. So, they sent me back a new one but no charger. I can charge it from my computer through USB but this is limiting. They do not respond to my calls or emails about this. So. be careful. If you buy one and need repairs you may need a witness and pictures to prove to them you sent back all the parts. Bummer.
Later: Finally got a response from the company, after I had given up. Got an email, with apology, and a power unit sent out to me. Don't know what happened but was relieved to have a complete set.

Superb Quality & sound - the best money you'll spend.......2007-08-11

I can't be more pleased with these. I purchased teh Logitech ones last year but it was clunky and the plastic headphone piece soon broke. These are a little wobbly but I'm just so impressed overall and these are priceless. Give yourself a treat and enjoy!

Not good enough for the price.......2007-07-23

These headphones are OK but I have 2 main problems - the fit is poor and I have a hard time keeping them on my ears. Also, they cut out constantly. I think if you plan to sit still and use them it might be OK but I find them constantly cutting out when I am moving around trying to do yardwork, walk, ski, etc. Seem to have a conflict when they come near anything else electrical. Great idea, poor execution and quality.

No clear signal - had to return!.......2006-06-08

It's a great design concept, but after a few days, the electronics in my office seemed to get the better of this product. I could only get noise and hiss. No matter how many times I "tuned" the headphones to the base unit, I could no longer pull in the audio signal from my CD player. I wound up returning it to SI, requesting a replacement. They sent me a check instead. Now I'm shopping around. Very unhappy with Sharper Image.

P.S.--Bought a very affordable pair from Radio Shack and have been pleasantly surprised by the quality!

Not True Digital - Plenty of Hiss - Not for Audiophiles.......2005-12-23

Don't be fooled by the product name. I'm not sure where the "digital" comes in on these headphones. Perhaps in the SRS component? These headphones do not provide the quality of digital transmission.

The 900MHz RF transmission is definitely analog and that is immediately apparent. You can hear hissing, the audio gets fainter as you get further away, and interference causes the normal analog artifacts. Do not plan to get the crystal clear audio you'd expect from digital transmission.

If you plan to watch analog TV or listen to AM/FM radio and sit in the same room as the transmitter, then I guess these headphones are okay. But if you expect CD quality audio or plan to listen from another room, then these will be sure to disappoint.

Customer Reviews:

Terrific docking station.......2007-12-06

The Executive Docking Station is a top-notch piece of hardware that provides stellar sound that is very compact and easy to move between areas in your home or backyard. For such a small product, the sound quality is amazing. I switched to this from the boombox, and it just saves to much space and is a better product. As per the other reviewers discussing the inability to get a signal, it is my understanding that it has nothing to do with the radio but the area where they live (lots of trees means you won't get the best signal possible). I highly recommend this.

Sirius is phasing this unit out.......2006-12-08

Look for newer generation radios and docking stations. This one is built rather cheaply. The volume level shifts sometimes when I move the unit like there's a loose connection. The aux out level is weak and tied into the speaker volume so it's not too practical to connect to a home stereo. No headphone out.

cool little radio... if you can get receiption........2006-02-16

I bought this the other day. I can't get receiption at my house anywhere, even outside. I took it over to my mom's house who lives 30 mins away, worked perfect. I took it home, no receiption. The very next day I took it back to my moms, no reeiption.

Sirius works perfect in my car, so I guess I'll go buy a car antenna (which costs $35 new) and try and use that instead of the home antenna it comes with and see if that might work.

Great solution for my home!.......2006-01-18

I bought this last night, and I really like it. I have had absolutely no antenna issues, as I put the antenna on the window sill and it's been at a minimum of 2 bars and most times a full 3. The on-board clock works fine also.

I like the look of this much better than the sportster boombox I use at work, but I do feel that I could get the boombox a lot louder if i wanted.

Overall, this has been a great purchase, and completes all my sportster gear.

DON'T........2006-01-07

And here's why:

Got this thing to use with a Sportster.

My wife and I have been trying to get this thing working - meaning, positioning the antenna - for the last 2 hours. It would go to 3 bars for a second, then down to none - in the same place. It would receive ok in the exact MIDDLE of the room - held up in the air - but not in the window... It would work when hand-held, but not when in the EXACT location placed on a book or something, would not work.

It didn't work right in front of a window, but would suddenly spring to life in a position which made no sense - such as when I was standing in a ridiculous pose (making fun of the unit) and pointing it right at the ceiling.

It did receive fine.... out front of the house. I'm not drilling holes for a 50' extension antenna...

So as we were exasperated and a bit stunned at what seemed to be not-ready-for-primetime technology, I decided to try something....

I took the receiver that came with the Sportster... plugged it into the Sportster unit, and plugged that into the Docking Station... instantly, 3 bars. I moved all around the room and the least I got was 2; I covered it with my body, though, and that stopped the reception. But that makes sense, unlike the laughable and erratic performance of the Directed base unit.

So, it comes down to the antenna. Frankly, if the quality of the antenna is this poor, it doesn't say much for the base unit as a whole.

1 star because without the antenna, there is no reason to own it!

And guess what? Here's a bonus critique: the display on the base unit stopped working correctly >>three minutes < < after powering it up for the first time.

It's junk as far as I'm concerned, and based on the quality of the antenna that came with the Sirius unit I'll buy another one of those and look for another in-home solution.

Yes, maybe I got a bum unit. But I doubt it...
