The JayBird Bluetooth headphones are the worst product I ever bought, bar none. Don't be misled by all the claims about good sound, sweat no problem etc. - while all that may be true, the headphones themselves are absolutely the worst quality possible. The first pair I bought died a few hours after starting to use it, first one side, and then no sound at all. Got the run-around from "customer service" requiring multiple mails back and forth from "tech support" until they finally agreed to take it back. Then the replacement set died too after the very first use (maybe it had already been "refurbished"?).
In short, a badly designed unreliable low-quality over-priced product, backed by matchingly abysmal customer service.
If I could give it no stars I would. DON'T BUY IT!.

I bought this product because I ride but need to be in contact with my office in an emergency. I use my IPOD when riding and this headset gives me great sound, with no cords. The fit is not supper tight and I can hear if an emergency occurs, but still get great sound. When a call comes in on my Palm Pre, I hear a beep and can answer my call. When I am done and hangup, I go back to my music. The fit is great and if I didn't hear music I wouldn't know that I am wearing a headset. The only problem that I had was figuring out how to pair it with my IPOD. I have to turn on the headset, then the IPOD and then insert the adapter into the IPOD. Sometimes, I need to turn the bluetooth off on my phone, and once it is playing music, turn the bluetooth on again. Once I figured this out the headset works great.

I was very excited to use these headphones. I am an avid runner and would incorporate these into my daily routine. I did read other reviews on the same product and was disappointed in the lack of useful information.
Pros:
1. Easy to use. Very easy to set up.
2. Cordless is always a plus so they dont get in the way.
Cons:
1. The signal skips out almost every 5-10 seconds. I understand that it is bluetooth, and it relies on bouncing of walls, and enclosed space, etc. However, I would have to run with my IPOD in my hand holding it upside down in order to get a signal that would not skip out. Furthermore, even while working out in my house, I could not travel more than 10 feet without the signal skipping out on me.
The only reason I used these headphones more than once was to see if maybe there was some interference. Not the case. These headphones are not worth the money, not even half the price. Beware.

Pros: Sweat resistent. Decent sound. Pairs easily. Low profile design. Good packaging.
Cons: Wire catches neck. Battery drains too fast on iPod. Battery lasted only 30 minutes on earpieces.
I just received this product yesterday after ordering online from Amazon. I had really high hopes for this product because it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for: low profile, wireless, snug fit, and resistent to sweat and water, basically made for sports. In theory it sounded perfect. I work out at the gym 4 days a week and do lots of weights there and abs, I also go running\jogging on weekends usually with 45-60 minute runs. I really wanted something I could just put on my ears and forget about while keeping the ipod in my pocket.
Arrival:
First off, the packaging is great. The box was easy to get into and no annoying plastic that you can only open with scissors and ripping the whole thing apart. Everything pretty much came out easily and only a couple twist ties that had to be undone. But really, who cares about packaging? Performance is what matters in the end, but just thought I'd throw out some pros as well as cons.
Charging:
After I got everything unpacked I hooked up the strange power cradle to the outlet and set the ear pieces into it, seeing the little red light on the right ear pieces come on (that's how you know it's actually charging). The power cradle is that light, cheapy plastic kind, which means because it doesn't have any solid weight it dances around a bit when you try to get the ear pieces in it. After the effort they put into the ear pieces, you can tell that the cradle got the short end of the budget stick, but if you have to choose where to put your money if you are designing these things I guess the ear pieces are the better choice.
The ear pieces themselves are actually a pretty clever design. The wider top part that wraps around the top of your ear is a little strange looking but not uncomfortable once you figure out how to pull your top earlobes through the gap. Like some previous posters have said they will indeed push your ears out a little, but not so bad that you are dumbo-tron. Unfortunately for me, the back of my sunglasses sat exactly in the same spot as the top of the ear pieces, so they ended up pushing my ears out even further as the two items competed for space. This however was not really a deal breaker for me (as opposed to the wire that tied the two earpieces together - keep reading). Just keep in mind that unless you wear Oakleys that don't have the bend over the ears back part, any sunglasses you wear will rest on or beside these things. Other than that, the earbuds that rest inside your ear seemed to fit fine. I did not have to do much adjusting at all once the things were on. Also, once these pieces were on my ears they did not fall out when I shook my head around.
Useage:
Ok, once the ear pieces where fully charged I put the iPod adapter onto my iPod Nano and then tried to pair the devices. If you follow the instructions in the iPod adapter manual it will pair right away. If you try to "wing it" like I did the first time, you will end up scratching your head for a second or two until you figure out the correct sequence. Basically it's 1 - turn off your iPod. 2 - hold down the power\on button on your right ear piece until it blinks blue. 3 - connect the adaptor to your iPod. 4 - turn on your iPod. 5 - Play a song. If you don't follow that sequence you will be in "WTH" mode.
The music that came through the ear pieces was loud and clear, but completely mid-range and hardly any bass. Not a big deal for me since I mainly just need to hear some kind of tunes when I run or workout, not conduct a symphony.
It was now time for my run, and I was frankly pretty jazzed. Finally no wires hanging down my shirt and having to be tucked or rolled up!
I put the iPod with the connected adapter into my running shorts front pocket (where the iPod normally goes), with the adapter pointed up (iPod upside down). Though the manual says the optimal position for the adaptor is above the elbow in a shoulder strap, it actually does work while in your pocket. It will cut out intermittently if you move your head around too much, but on average I'd say that it only cut out every couple minutes or so, and whenever I was adjusting the ear pieces or wire, and that was acceptable to me.
Dealbreaker 1:
Within the first 5 minutes of actual running however, I began to feel the problem. Remember that little wire that connects the two ear pieces together? Well it began to "catch" on my neck. The effect was subtle but cummulative. Basically whats happening is that when you are coming down from your stride, the wire drops a little on your neck due to downward force, and then when you rise up again the friction of the wire on your neck pulls at the ear pieces in your ears. After a while, when your neck starts to get a little sticky from sweat, the pull on your ear pieces gets more and more noticeable until it nearly pulls them out of your ears and you have to adjust the wire back up your neck. If you have long hair or a turtle neck on, the wire might simply slide over that part and this would not be a problem. But if you have short hair (or no hair in my case), the wire will continuously pull at your neck and the ear pieces in your ears in an extremely annoying way. This was a huge deal breaker for me and very disappointing if you are a runner.
Dealbreaker 2:
Although the wire pulling on my neck was annoying, after about 30 minutes of running the music coming through the ear pieces suddenly stopped. Yep. Just dead air after 30 minutes. Confused, I took the right ear piece off and saw that it was blinking blue and red, which meant that it was out of battery juice. At that point, I rather eloquently said to myself "WTF?" After all, the manual said the ear pieces were supposed to last 5.5 hours fully charged right? So why was it dying after only 30 minutes? Tres lame.
So the next 20 minutes of my run were basically me and the crickets trying to hum songs like Typical by Mute Math to keep myself amused - and not doing a good job of it. All the while useless items of plastic sat on my ears with a wire continuously pulling at my neck. Not the best experience.
Bottom Line:
So my inital trial of this product has been rather disappointing. I'd say that it has a lot of good ideas, but in practice it still needs improvements to match the hype on the Jaybird website. If they could manage to cut that wire between the ear pieces and extend the battery to last as long as they said it does, I would say this would be an ideal runner\workout wireless product. Unfortunately they are not quite there yet.
I'm going to give it one more shot tommorrow when I go for my Sunday run. Maybe the ear piece dying after only 30 min was a fluke. Maybe I can get used to the wire pulling at my neck. I seriously doubt it, but want to be fair. I'm fairly certain though I will have to return this.

Bottom line, not worth it, [great packaging though]
I have he Motorola MOTO S9 for about three years no, and still functioning the same like the day I bought it, but wanted to try something new. I liked the concept of the Jaybird 200i, and with a quick look at the reviews at Amazon, with some people giving it 5/5 and others wish if there is 0/5 stars rating that they can give to it, so I decided to try for myself.
I bought the Jaybird 200im from Costco for $150 since Amazon is listing it for $200, so if you are planning to buy, you may be able to save a good chunk of money of you shop around a bit. I tried the set for one day, and decided to take it back [with all apologies due to Costco].
Here is what I liked:
* Packaging: Great Job jaybird people. Regretfully, packaging does not make any music, or answer the phone
* Weight: really light
* Pairing: Paired really quickly with my HTC Phone
Here is what I did not like about the set:
* Buttons:
o Set have only three buttons. Smart to make a button increase the volume as you press and hold, and change the tracks when press and quickly release, but this TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET USED TO.
o BUTTONS ARE VERY HARD TO PRESS. You heve to press the set against your scalp or ears to raise the volume or change the tracks
* Fit:
o When wearing the set, IT PUSH YOUR EARS FORWARD. Made me look like a dork, I was not proud wearing the set.
o Ear Pieces were so CHEAP BLACK RUBBER, NOT SILICON, and engineered like cylinders with cones. Sorry jaybird people, I am not a robot. These pieces did not fit in my ears, and was very easy for it to fall off. Take my advice: please take a look at other manufacturers in the ears set before you spend your time re-inventing the wheel.
* Music Quality: NO BASS. Do not even try.
* Phone Answering: works, but why still hear the SOUND COMING FROM ONE EAR? Not that I like to listen to my girlfriend on the other end in stereo, but for balancing the sound stress on the ear, this should have been considered, especially if you have sophisticated set like this.
* Charger: I had the worst time trying to charge the set using the cradle. And you have to use the cradle to charge the set. It was so WOBBLY, and would pop right out with the slightest touch. It stressed me out.
