BlackBerry Premium Multimedia Headset with Case

This review is from: BlackBerry Premium Multimedia Headset with Case (3.5mm) (Wireless Phone Accessory) By J. Morris "snowboardjoe" (Durham, NC USA).

Was looking forward to using this on my Storm 2, but it failed. I have a Verizon Storm 2 running 5.0.0.320 and apparently someone dropped the ball on making this compatible with that software release. Getting audio is not a problem, but the only control that works is the play/pause button. The skip forward, skip back and volume controls are all dead. With that said, it only gets 1 star no matter how good any other functions are.

I thought it was a problem with the headphones so I had Amazon send me a new pair--same problem. Then I checked the CrackBerry forums and saw the pattern that other Verizon people were reporting. Many of the report trying to get help from RIM, but they offer no support for accessories apparently. So, back it went.

The earbuds were a little weird the small amount of time that I used these. Grateful for the many sizes, but it was hard to get a good fit that did not want to fall out of my ear or feel like I crammed a peanut down my ear canal.

What time I did spend with it listening to music they produced an excellent sound.
