I would like to mention a potential problem with these IS800.
Since there is no volume control on them you have to check that the device you want to pair them with does support bluetooth volume control.
Otherwise volume will be at the maximum level and not adjustable.
For instance latest samsung mobile phones or the cowon S9 doesn't support volume control over BT, so it's unusable unless you wanna become deaf.
The problem is that the device can feature AVRCP profile and yet not support volume control. So there's basically no way to know it before until you try it. |

I doubt that - the is800s sound is by far not the best of the bunch
And when the battery gets low, the sound is even worse

Just wondering to anyone who has these, are the buds smaller than normal? Most are too big for my ear-holes.

Went ahead and ordered a set of these today - I just current resist any longer and the wires on my current earphones are really annoying me, so much that I refuse to use them - a long coat, messenger back over my shoulder and earphone wires is a recipe for tangled disaster.
I'm looking forward to getting rid of the excessive wires once and for all.

Kinda dragging up an old thread. But I was just wondering if there is a headset with the same, awesome, form factor as these but with longer battery life? Has anyone seen any alternatives?

Sony released some new sets a few months ago but, they're pretty expensive.

I'm still rocking my IS800 too! I think the only downfall is today they need the one style chargers, if I charge with micro-usb they'd be perfect.
A company called Novero recently released a pair of very similar earphones and won a red dot design award for it. The Novero Rockaway also has volume buttons which can be used to change songs. Expensive though. I don't think I'll buy them anytime soon. Although tangle free chord and extra buttons and micro-usb..
I have a dig bick
