They are big but they work very well. Battery is about 18 hrs. They get hot. Wireless is excellent.
With the new computer, there are almost always problems with Bluetooth pairing, and the sound almost always cuts out enough to make them unlistenable. I use these headphones with a MacBook Pro, and I got a new one this year. With the old computer, they were great. They may work with your computer, and they may not. Be sure to test them thoroughly while you can still return them.
I was interested in getting these headphones because they have a built in microphone, which would be very helpful with the PS3. Note that the PS3 will only transfer "chat" through it's bluetooth. Meaning, all game sounds are still routed through the television or your stereo receiver. These would have been a slam dunk, but the BT stack the PS3 uses will not allow the transfer of game sounds through bluetooth.
Make sure to read some of the more detailed reviews here - lots of helpful info you'll want to know before you make the investment. Blocks out a lot of noise naturally and can even use them while mowing the grass without cranking the volume all the way up to hear it over the mower.
I bought a cheaper model from Sony earlier, but really wanted to experience the best bluetooth headphones Sony makes. I like these headphones.
Using it for phone calls is average, but very acceptable. So far, I really don't have any complaints.
The sound quality is very nice; much better than open-ear styles, pairs easily with my PC, G1, PS3, and my Vtech home phone. Range varies depending on whether you're using it to talk on the phone or listening to music; I get a good 20 feet for music (little or no obstructions) and about 30 feet using for phone (couple of rooms away) for telephone.For me, I've found the perfect pair of wireless headphones.
These should easily satisfy 85% of buyers.
Paired this with my iphone 3G and Macbook intel duo and both work GREAT. I love this purchase I made and recommend them to any mac user.
