What do you think of Apple's iPhone Blutooth Headset?

I've just read iLounge full review of Apple's new iPhone Bluetooth Headset. First I must say that personally it looks terrific, I think its one of the coolest headsets on the market. Its amazingly small its essentially the size of the iPod's earbuds without the white cord.

Pros: A minimalist monaural Bluetooth earpiece that lets you hear and talk on cell phone voice calls or PC/Mac voice chats without any wires between your ear and the phone or computer. Designed specifically for the iPhone, benefitting from especially easy pairing with iPhone, and on-iPhone battery monitoring features. Includes travel charging cable and special charging/synchronization dock for itself and iPhone. Acceptable talk time on rechargeable battery.

Cons: Sound quality and battery life are nothing special for the relatively high price, and static-free range is only okay; small earbud without ear hook may not be stable or secure in your ear. Though it includes nice dock, lacks advanced ambient noise filtering or wall charger included in top competitors priced at similar or lower levels.

iLounge actually gave it a B rating, I agree its expensive compared to other Bluetooth headsets but what do you expect ? we always pay a premium for Apple products,

Conclusions : When Apple’s at its best, its devices and accessories offer more than just good looks at premium prices: their user experiences are so markedly better than competitors that we wouldn’t dream of using alternatives, even if they’re less expensive. Though it’s a nice-looking and somewhat more iPhone-convenient option than other Bluetooth headsets that are out there, the iPhone Bluetooth Headset doesn’t live up to the company’s highest standards: in range, battery life, and sound quality, it’s a good but not great performer.
