Can you put music directly into the player from your computer, if so, how much memory is there? Also are these comfortable to run with?

These are bluetooth headphones. No player involved with these. They are comfortable, after you get used to them. Battery life is wonderful. Also, I am a very heavy sweater and have been through a myriad of BT headphones, all supposedly sweat proof or resistant and these have proven very effective at resisting sweat. He this helps ya make a decision.

No it's just a Bluetooth headset, it does not work underwater but is water proof, and they're comfortable but not not extravagantly.

It's just a bluetooth device that will only access your music files on your smart phone or other bluetooth devices. There is no memory to store music. You can also take phone calls with this device. Fairly comfortable to run with. Tight at first, as the component initially molds to the shape of your head. So don't let anyone else borrow it.. :). Hope this helps!

You cannot add music. It is just a bluetooth headset. I don't run but I use mountain biking and it is pretty comfortable.

There is no memory. They only function as bluetooth headphones. I think they are pretty comfortable for active wear. However, the do dampen a lot of external sound, so you will not hear other sounds like approaching cars, etc.

No, you can not put music in it. They are solely Bluetooth to your phone or player. I have only walked in the pool with them so I do not know about running. They are soft so they are comfortable in your ears and you get used to the head piece within minutes. I wonder if they would bounce out though. I use the plantronics Bluetooth set for everyday and love them too.

Actually its strictly a blue tooth device. Mine was horrible and didnt last at all for battery life. Would cut out on the shortest workouts. It has since been replaced by a much better unit. I would send it back if I could. Save yourself the disappointment

Hi. I think I did not understand the head phones. Apparently they connect by blue tooth to external music including iphone and presumeably MP3 players but does not have MP3 on board itself. It has no onboard memory. I still like the unit although it does not store the earphone pieces. I like it thus far.

It doesn't have memory space, it uses the music you have stored in your phone and puts it through the blue tooth so your phone has to be handy. Has a range of about 30 ft. and a battery life of 6 hours of continuous play or 22 hours of sleep mode. Just uses the USB port to charge the headset. As far as comfort goes, it doesn't bother me and I wear it about 10 hours a day. I work for Post Office so i'm constantly getting in and out, twisting, turning and moving around. I wear mine more around neck just to keep the wires out of the way and still quite comfortable. Hope this helps!

These are designed to play from a USB port dongle out of a PC. These are not designed (that I know of) to play from an iPod.

Mine is 4gb and it holds about 40+hours of music. I do find that while convenient, it does seem to play some songs more frequently than others. Also, most external speakers don't allow the small hole plug in, but the type for its bigger brother, but this is very convenient and enjoyable. I clip it on the bottom of my shirt and run the earphones thru the shirt. I also like the idea of pressing the control once for silence and then hearing the names of the songs coming up.

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

Yes you can.you only need to sync it with your laptop. I have played many downloaded music and it's fine

Yes, I have the same question, and will only purchase this item if there are speakers that can be used with it. I already have the CA portable digital speakers and use them with my (now full) 8GB ipod nano, doesn't look like the 2GB shuffle is compatible with these speakers.

My MP3's are stored on a 16 GB mini Card that plugs into the side. I play them through the radio. If I wanted external speakers, I would make sure they are amplified speakers and plug them in the AUX IN port used for external headphones. The port is similar to the one on you pc's sound card (or built in), so if your powered speakers work with your PC, it's very likely they also work with the radio.

Hi Kazai, i have the same question. Did you ever find out if you can put the recorded Fm files on your computer? I've had one of these for years and have not been able to figure out how. sharphoto

Yes, you have to put music in folders named as CD01, CD02 and so on. I use 8GB mem card and it works fine, no problem whatsoever. Didn't try with bigger ones.

Hi John. The one I purchased was a 4 GB and that equates to about 3.75 GB of actual space to load music. There is programing in the drive so you lose a few MBs off that.I do like mine a lot and it is really so compact and easy to use; nothing to mess with, just load and play.I hope this helps. Mick

Thanks for the reply! I will definately start downloading music at a higher format. As for my office, know my co-workers are in the office because I can hear their keyboard clicking as they type, up to 3 cubes away. I really like these headphones, but have decided to play it safe and go with the AudioTechnica M50 instead. Maybe next purchase I'll get the HD555 sens for home or something.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

up loading mp3 songs to the unit from computer music file is safe, any other up loads may not be as good, the unit plays music well

Hello, I have had a number of these players and like them a lot. For an older style they do very well. Not sure if it comes with a USB cable...but they are easy to get. As for music when they are charging, these use a battery so no need to worry about charging. :-)

I added a 32 G card and have over 4,000 songs with plenty of space left. If you download a lot of your music you will notice a difference in volume from song to song. But I have not had a problem with volume on mine but try difference headphones as sometimes that will make a difference. My only fault is boot up time is sometimes very long, like several minutes if the unit has been off for a while.

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print. I didn't even look at it. The thing is pretty self explanatory. Plug it into computer, go to MY COMPUTER, open the MP3 player, drag and drop MP3s into the MP3 player, unplug from computer, plug speakers into player, hit play. Button on top is the on/off. Then there are these buttons on the bottom to scroll through the limited menus (songs, EQ, repeat...) the silver button is to select what ever you have highlighted and then there is a back button, when pushed it will remember your selection. Play/pause and stop buttons are pretty obvious. Nothing fancy but it plays music and that's all I wanted. It is SUPER tiny. Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print.
