Review of LTB Q-Bean-STB Wireless Headphone October 30, 2008

Small and lightweight while performing very well wirelessly. Small annoying LED annoyingly blinks at annoying intervals annoying the user and annoying the spouse late at night with the lights off. See? Annoying isn't it? Battery life is not near the stated number of hours. I'm getting about 4hrs. which would not be enough for the die hard sports fan on game day or listening to a Beatles retrospective. Controls are large and easy to operate but that has a downside... Volume can be altered unintentionally whilst lounging and cavorting. Transmitter and receiver share the supplied USB power supply so plan on using a spare or buy a new USB power supply. Overall, a good product performing well with less than desirable batterly life.

It's hard to get a product like this anymore: clear sound and MUCH more convenient and comfortable than conventional bulky wireless stereo headphones. Only negative is short 4-hour battery time before having to recharge, and you can't replace the battery, if needed, without sending it to the manufacturer (for $25). However, on the whole: I love it.
Does what it claims, but looks like it came out of a bargain bin April 30, 2008

NOTE: STB is discontinuing the Orange version, so it can be purchased for about 30% less than the black.
There have been a lot of complaints about the quality of the ear buds, but in my opinion, they aren't bad at all. It would have been nice if they had included different sized earpieces, though. Be aware that the enclosed headphones have a pretty short cord, and are therefore not really useful for any device that does not hang around your neck or reside in your shirt pocket.
The receiver is the size of an egg that is sliced in half - reasonably small. But be aware that the headphone jack is oddly placed at a 45 degree angle, so that any headphones that don't have a 90 degree connector will stick out at an odd angle. This makes it harder to keep the receiver in your pocket. The supplied headphones do NOT have an angled connector.
Powering the base transmitter from a USB cable (PC) does result in noise (buzz) - a lot of it. Using the supplied wall adapter is the only way to go; it is silent. I have my transmitter sitting on my PC case, under my desk, surrounded by cables of all types -- very noisy environment. In addition, I use the receiver in an office that is filled with PCs, Blackberry devices, and 10GB test equipment. Even in this harsh environment, the received signal is very crisp and noise-free. Usually Blackberries alone are enough to distort wireless audio.
The packaging of the unit is really a beautiful thing. Aside from misspellings on the package(!), it promises a very professional piece of equipment. The sad part is how flimsy both the transmitter and receiver are. Really ugly little pieces of plastic. But as long as it works...
UPDATE:
There are five VERY annoying things about this unit that would make me rate it as 3 stars.
1) When the battery is low, there is no warning - the unit simply shuts off. There is no batter charge indicator, either.
2) The LED continually pulses while the unit is on. It's bright and annoying. I'd put a piece of tape over it, except that I would then not know when has finished charging.
3) The running time per charge is very short. I would have much preferred the ability to swap out the battery for a fresh one, even if it meant the unit was slightly larger.
4) For a unit with such poor battery charge life, it should shut off automatically when there is no signal for, say, 5 minutes. Instead, it happily drains the battery if you forget to shut it off.
5) For the non USB version, the pause button is useless. And the Reset button is useless for either version. Because Reset and Power buttons stick out, it is easy to accidentally press them when the receiver is in your shirt pocket.
This product has a VERY solid transmitter/receiver combo, but they are housed in the most cheaply made cases imaginable. 5 stars for the technology (great range and clear signal), and 1 star for the look/feel of the product itself (straight out of the bargain bin).

I purchased one of these for my wife for a Christmas gift. We followed the instructions to charge it up and then to sync it. It appeared to sync fine, but when I plugged it in to anything there was no sound through the headphones. I tried it on several devices (tv, stereo, mp3 player) and with different headphones, and it just didn't work. So I tried to return it for a refund and only received a partial refund. They withheld a $17 "restocking fee". Very disappointed with both the product and the resolution of the refund.
Excellent solution for wireless headphones February 11, 2008

It's not finished like a high end electronic product but it does what it says on the box. I wouldn't use it on the road with my iPod but it's excellent for listening to your TV without disturbing anyone. Set up is easy (even if documentation could do with a better translation), sound transmission is excellent (no statics at all) and best of all you get to use your favorite headset! That feature alone made this product a winner for me since I didn't want to use any of those bulky headset that usually ship with wireless headsets..... When the casing design is cleaned up and a charging station built in the base it will be a perfect 5 product.
