| | | Free yourself from confining wires and immerse yourself in music with IOGEAR's wireless Bluetooth stereo headphones!
Now you can comfortably enjoy your favorite music without messing with annoying wires! IOGEAR's Stereo Headphones use Bluetooth technology to let you enjoy music up to 33 feet from the source, in beautifully crisp MP3-quality stereo sound.
IOGEAR's behind-the-neck design makes the headphones very comfortable to wear even for extended periods of time. You can also easily change tracks*, adjust the volume, and pause your music with the integrated headphone control buttons. The built-in rechargeable battery offers up to 6.5 hours of music play time. A built-in microphone supports use with Bluetooth cell phones. You can even pause your music and pick up an incoming phone call with the press of a button.
This unit works with any Bluetooth-enabled device (computer, PDA, MP3 Player) that supports A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles. For devices that do not come with integrated Bluetooth, you may use the IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transmitter (GMBA201), which transmits audio signals wirelessly to your Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
Functionality of the Headphone control buttons require Bluetooth receiver on your music device to support AVRCP profile.

3 of 5 Decent Stereo Headset... Thursday, October 30, 2008 Rebecca from Virginia
The IOGEAR Wireless Stereo Headset - GBMH211W6 is a very decent headset for the money. Paired easily with my VX6900 phone. None of these headsets do a very good job with call quality, but these are alright.
The big issue for me is that they only come with a USB recharger. Which means either you have to charge your phone near your computer, or charge them in two different places. This is definitely not a convenient set up. Also, the plug is a non-standard mini-usb, so you can't even swap your phone charger to them. Very frustrating.
Sound is good, call sound (hearing) is good, call sound (talking) is less than perfect, picking up a lot of background noise.
Decent value for the money. We need more choices in the wireless stereo headset market though. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Very good headphones for the cost, fair/middling m Tuesday, September 09, 2008 JP from Seattle WA
Stereo audio playback is very good for the cost. Microphone is not great; I've used it successfully for conference calls in a quiet environment, but others hear my voice as quiet / muddied. Pairs fine with my RAZR v3xx and my Dell D620, but not with my iMac Mini (also, note that when using with a phone, it will initially pair in headset mode; you can switch to stereo mode for mp3 playback if your phone supports it [on RAZR, click Options while in Music Player]). Dynamically switches between trusted devices (listening to music on my laptop, I got a call on my phone; the headset switched right over to the call). Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice product Tuesday, August 05, 2008 cheenu from Pittsburgh,PA
Initially I had problems connecting the headset to my devices. But later after calling the tech support got it resolved. They told me that there is a connection mode which I can enter by pressing the multi functional button even after the blue light turns up. In the connection mode the blue and red lights glow alternatively. Nothing was mentioned about this mode in the small manual that came along with this product. Other than this small issue the headset is awesome for its price. I would recommend others to buy it. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Super deal Thursday, July 24, 2008 RN from MN
Excellent Headset and Stereo, took little time to understand headset and handsfree setup on laptop, once its got set it was amazing, Quality of sound is wonderful,Best performance was when u connect the bluetooth dongle to a USB2.0 port and not to USB1.1 for better quality of sound.

1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 Most bang for the buck Wednesday, June 04, 2008 Marco from Redmond, WA
Considering it's price ($30-something range), it's a real bargain.
Very good stereo audio quality (not audiophile-grade, but acceptable for computer use and casual music listening), passable handsfree sound and mic pickup quality (you do have to raise your voice a bit, mic needs to be a bit more sensitive), and the battery lasts for a good day's use.
The only thing I didn't like is that you can't use the stereo audio with the mic: whenever a paired device opens the handsfree channel, the stereo audio is muted and you can only hear the monoaural, lower sampling rate & quality handfree audio.
That means that you can't use it to Skype on your computer expecting good quality audio.
Another thing that should be configurable: when switching from stereo to handfree, it should have an option to signal the device to pause playback, and ideally it should be able to turn that on on a per-device basis.
But well, for the price this is a great product. Was this review helpful?
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful. 4 of 5 Good Headphones, horrible Mic Wednesday, June 04, 2008 A Customer from Littleton, CO
Headphones sound good and are easy to use. The microphone is a tiny hole on the bottom of the right earpiece, If you scream you might get a caller to hold on while you re-route the call through your handset... but maybe not even that. I gave these an oveall 4 because my primary need was for headphones. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 These are really good Wednesday, June 04, 2008 VJ from West Jordan, UT
After using motorola stereo headphones, I wanted to try these since they look lighter in weight and lighter to carry. My first experience was great with the quality of the music. I use these a lot now a days compared to the other headsets. I would certainly recommend to friends. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great value headphones Monday, April 07, 2008 Mike from Cleveland, OH
This is a great value for the money. The sound quality isn't as good as the full cup headphones, but that's now what you're paying for. The bluetooth works flawlessly, and the microphone is excellent. The controls on the side of the headphone is a little less than ideal (my fingers would accidentally hit the wrong buttons),but work fine once you et used to them. The ability to answer calls while in the middle of listening to something else is awesome. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great headphones Tuesday, April 01, 2008 A Customer from St. Louis, MO
I bought these being skeptical but after they arrived and tried them out, I couldn't believe how easy they connected to my phone and the sound was pretty good as well. I use these at work all the time and would definitely recommend Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Headphones Friday, March 14, 2008 Justin from Missoula, MT
I find the headphones to be excellent. Tech specs said they would only go 6 1/2 hours on a charge. I'm getting about 10. Good sound, good connection, fit great. Overall I'm very pleased. Was this review helpful?
1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 GET THIS PRODUCT Tuesday, March 11, 2008 Larman from Spokane, WA
The value compared to similar products is incredible. The headset/headphones easily found all my bluetooth access points. Just charge with the USB cable and go. Suggest you check your computer stacks for A2DP and the remote profiles. A bluetooth thumber or stereo audio gateway will have the stacks if you don't find them in your OS. I love this thing. Computer, MP3 player, telephone, TV, you name it. Fits comfortably, and you can control input with the buttons on the right side; next, pause previous, volume, etc. DON'T spend fifty to a hundred bucks. Get this.

1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 2 of 5 Mediocre headphones Wednesday, February 06, 2008 b_intern from Washington, DC
I purchased these headphones for the gym and I was happy to see that they also had microphone capability. Unfortunately, the microphone is pretty bad. They are not too great for working out either, as they move around easily and often. The sound quality is decent, but since the fit is so poor, a lot of that is lost.
Are they a value? I don't know. I think it is ridiculous to pay $35 for headphones and then to be disappointed with them, but it seems bluetooth headsets don't sell for anything less. Was this review helpful? |
