Love these, but has battery problems
I have been using them with my iPhone and my iMac for both music and in teleconferencing. Very comfortable, excellent sound. But after not using for 3 months, found I could not recharge the lithium ion battery. Will talk to company re repair, and revise my review accordingly.

Pretty good product, glad I got them for free.
I got these as a free gift when I bought some speakers. I like them, but I'm glad I did not have to pay for them. The Bluetooth connection is sometimes finicky, which is frustrating when you just want to play your music, and I find them uncomfortable after a long wear. That said, the sound is very good and the battery lasts a long time. Very functional, good quality sound, but not my favorite pair of headphones all in all.

Nice
I've had these for about a month. They are a nice headset, but I have noticed a couple minor irritations. They intermittently drop connection depending on distance from the source. I do notice minor interference periodically. The controls on the headset require some getting used to using. The fit is a little quirky. Overall none of these are killers and minor annoyances. For the price, they have suited me well and do the job in 99% if my usage situations.

Total Rubbish! Don't buy!
This product is total rubbish! I thought I'd save some money buying this cheap product but I threw it in the trash after 1/2 hour of torture, and ordered the sennheisier hd 25 instead. Do not waist your money on this product.

Excellent quality and build at this price
Like others, I would not give this a 5 star rating if I paid $150-200. I use headphones professionally and casually. I got this at a discount from B&H. The quality is excellent. Barely a rung below much more expensive pro phones. I have many different headphones for different purposes from broadcast to home use. The build is high quality which is important particularly for BT headsets since unlike headphones like my wired boom headphone mic combo... Show More

Yes I bought 2 and am glad to have them, great price.
I use this in conjunction with my tv. Works great. I would have given it 5 stars except for the fit.

Great Headphones
Well, I have had these for about 3 weeks now and I am very happy with them. They are by no means professional headphones but they have a nice crisp sound and an adequate bass. There has a been no problem hooking up to bluetooth. They are very well made, charge well and come with a nice carrying case. I have noticed what others have commented about, that the headband is made for really wide heads so that they don?t fit flush on my head. But, I found it doesn?t matter. They still fit snugly over my ears and block out any extraneous noises. I bought them on sale and I am very happy with them.

Great sound quality, potato mic. Read the review
Wonderful Bluetooth headset with some minor issues. I purchased these to use with my gaming laptop (which is way too large to be called such..just sayin) so lets start with when they arrived. Comes with a great hard case to carry them in, they have become my new go to for travel. Easy peazy to pair with my 17xR4 laptop AND my android phone. Phone pairing is as simple as holding the phone to the left earpiece, boom its paired! The sound quality is... Show More

Most Versatile headphones I've Owned
I use the RTE 2 Bluetooth Headphones for both personal music listening and video production audio. I love the versatility of Bluetooth and direct wire...it's the best of both worlds. The sound quality is excellent and the build quality seems very durable at this point of my usage.

decent on sale
I wanted another pair of bluetooth cans when my old ones started to die on me, and I saw these at a great sale price. They paired effortlessly with my iphone 5s but will not talk to my macbook. The frequency response cuts off pretty high up the low mid range, so not for bass lovers. The transports on the can are nice and work well once you get the feel for them, and the charge holds for quite a while. They came with a nice case, usb charger cable... Show More

Not Very Good
I was surprised at the poor audio quality having purchased Samson headphones in the past. The controls on the headset were also not very user friendly. Disappointed, I returned them.

Good Value
Bought these on sale and am satisfied with their performance as basic wireless headphones. There's very little bass so they are best suited for podcasts or use with telephone.

Worthy Listening
Wow, for a sound geek, I was impressed with this little powerful bluetooth headphone. Love its size and aesthetically appealing.

works well
I am very happy with my RTE 2 Bluetooth Headphones. This is the third brand I tried. The others were hard to keep the Bluetooth to stay connected. These have been very good. I purchased them to use while construction of a sunroom is being done next to my work studio to drown out the noise. I have only used them to listen to Audiobooks from Audible. I like the pause and volume buttons to make easy adjustments. I took off one star because they seem... Show More

Not Bose but decent for traveling
These headphones are not meant for the studio but perfect for what I bought them for, traveling.

Excellent headphones at a great price!
I have been very impressed with this Bluetooth headset. I am not seeing any issues that have been mentioned in a few of the reviews. The setup and pairing was easy, they are comfortable and adjust easily ( not sure why some one reported that he/she could not get them to fit correctly on their ears ). They fold nicely and can be used with the included 3.5 mm cable to connect to a wire audio source such as those found on on-flight entertainment sys... Show More

not too bad not so good.
it's headphone that deserve the price. Theres something I dont like though,I cant get the headphone on the right place so I have adjusted it for a while for everytime I put it on and buttons are too stiff making you press pretty hard to do anything.

Sound Great But Not the Most Comfortable
Great sound but the headband is flat instead of having a curve. The ear cups fit but it is not a great feeling to wear. If I had paid full price they would go back.

Not Impressed
Glad I didn't pay full price for these! Nice concept, bad implementation. The sound is acceptable but doesn't blow your socks off. The design is where the real flaw is. The headphones swivel left to right, but do not swivel up and down. Which means they don't/won't conform to your head because they can't. You have to pull the extensions out far enough so the ear muffs sort of cover your ears. But it's not a snug fit because they won't swivel. Blue tooth connected with no problems, that's why I have them an extra star.

Short in sound quality
Connecting is not bad, build quality is fine but if you're a bose or beats user, this item is not for you. Fitting is awkward, sound, to me is below average. It's not even good enough. I'm sorry RTE samson but I don't like it at all.

Poor Fit
Awful fit on my somewhat normal head so I never even turned them on. The ear cups don't rotate in their yoke, therefore the bottom of each squeezes tight on your earlobe as top of cup stands away from your head. May be able to bend the metal for a better fit but I'll have to return these. Better options at B&H if you want some comfort.
