Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I waited a few weeks before writing this review. I hate it when reviews state, "I just got this today and I love it!" They've not yet field-tested the purchase. Why review it that quickly? AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF REGULAR USE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ADAPTER, BUT WITH SOME RESERVATIONS: First the Less than AWESOME aspects that give this FOUR stars instead of five: 1) the AIRMOD only pairs with one device at a time. To reliably / easily pair with a new device, make sure to drop it from your old device first (FROM INSIDE THAT SEPARATE DEVICE'S BLUETOOTH SETTINGS) or the pairing will fail on the new device. BUT... once paired, it is 100% reliable in re-pairing up with the phone or laptop or whatever else you have chosen. I LOVE it! Just know the limitations. One day, I came to work WITHOUT my laptop, but had paired the headphones TO my laptop previously back at home the day before. There was NO way to pair them to my iPhone while I was at work without my laptop. I had to wait until I got home, then went to my laptop's bluetooth settings to "forget" the AIRMOD. Then the iPhone quickly paired up with the AIRMOD, no issue at all. So, pairing is super easy, provided that you do the trick I mentioned above. 2) Call quality is quite poor. I tested it in several settings by staying on the same phone call, switching from AIRMOD to the cord of my QC25 headphones. The contrast between the two phone call scenarios was quite marked. The people I was talking to were very clearly noticing the big drop in sound quality when I was talking via AIRMOD. I will simply not use the AIRMOD for phone calls, plain and simple. ************* Those two complaints aside, I will mention the FIVE STAR qualities of the AIRMOD: 1) Quickly charges and gives predictable battery run time of over 6 hours, generating terrific sound over the bluetooth. If I've run the battery down and desire just an hour or so of additional time, it only requires 10 to 15 minutes to pick up an hour or two of added operating time. Love it! 2) Super reliable pairing, provided you are intending on pairing to one device only. It's not that big of a drag to pair with a second device, but you'll need to un-pair from the device you paired the headphones with (see above). Once the pairing is established, everything is perfect in reconnecting. Superb. Again, I'll still say the AIRMOD is super great in pairing, but I'm spoiled with my Bose Soundsport Wireless earbuds that are flawless and maintain two connections simultaneously, it seems, as they switch between laptop music listening to taking a call on my phone, seamlessly, no hitches at all. My guess regarding anyone saying it won’t pair to their device is that they’re not dealing with the one-device-at-a-time pairing restriction. If they try what I described above, they’ll get the same results, at least with a Macbook Pro and iPhone. 3) Controls: the buttons are the right sized, well placed and easily recognized by touch (keeping the headphones on your head) after just a little bit of experience. Everything works perfectly. Play/pause; accept or reject a call (too bad the quality isn't as it should be); increase/decrease volume; advance a track/go back a track; power on/off/pair. TERRIFIC controls. Great job, guys! 4) Sound (music, phone calls, what have you) that is delivered to your ears is super great. I can't discern much difference at all between corded listening and AIRMOD listening. The sound coming to your ears through AIRMOD is great quality! 5) Cordless freedom! I LOVE this aspect and range is super good too. People that complain about losing range are really pushing the limits. I've had no problems other than what I would expect (like walking out of the house and going into the yard; the connection can get lost there, but what do you expect?). If you need THAT kind of wireless broadcasting distance, buy an in-home FM transmitter built for that sort of range expansion. 6) Storage: the AIRMOD can stay physically connected to the headphones and will store nicely inside the case Bose provides. 7) Lightweight: no worries at all. You can't tell there is an added amount of weight to the left cup. 8) Cool-looking. People are intrigued and think it's cool. I might tone down the white font color of the AIRMOD, but hey, they've got to advertise; I don't fault Bolle & Raven for that. I would be proud of this too if I were them. Bottom line: fix the phone quality and allow it to pair as flawlessly to multiple devices and you'll have FIVE PLUS stars out of this already grateful buyer. Would I buy the AIRMOD again? ABSOLUTELY!!!! I love it and I use it every day. If you're okay with the limitations, you'll love using this adapter. I highly recommend the AIRMOD adapter to all my friends and I recommend it to you shoppers on Amazon.
