Universal Adapter Usage (No Microphone)After taking it out and charging it to full capacity I was eager to see whether it’s sound was worth it. I first tested it by using the universal adapter/transmitter that plugs directly into any 1/8” stereo audio source. This means anything from an iPod to my laptop to anything else out there (a world of possibilities!). Connectivity between the two is almost instantaneous from when you turn on the headset and when it connects with and begins transmitting from the adapter. The adapter is very small and very lightweight, extremely easy to plug in and slip into your pocket along with an iPod. The adapter only has on/off functionality and a connection button, nothing else to get in the way. The on/off switch is a rotating ring (actually not a switch at all) that requires a small force to shift. This is another great design feature because there is no risk of accidentally shutting it off while it’s in your pocket. 
I tested these headsets on my computer for both music and movies. I can say that I truly would prefer their wireless, lightweight design and great sound over an abundance of cheaper wired headsets. The sound they are capable of producing is good enough for me to enjoy using them consistently. And I am considerably picky about headphones (I just bought a $250 pair back in October).
