Reviews of the iSkin Cerulean F1

CNET Review
The Good: The iSkin Cerulean F1 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones offer a low-profile design and stereo sound while eliminating the cord between you and your device. They can be paired with more than one device at a time.
The Bad: Thanks to horrible call quality, the Cerulean F1 is pretty much useless as a cell phone headset. Not all users will find the headphones comfortable, and you need to purchase a separate transmitter for use with the iPod. Audio quality for music is unimpressive.
The Bottom Line: If you already own a Bluetooth-capable music device and like the headset-like design, the iSkin Cerulean F1 is an OK choice for cutting the cord between you and your player. However, the cost of the headphones plus the necessary transmitter add-on for the iPod is prohibitive, considering the unimpressive audio quality.

Review Summary: In short, the Cerulean F1s are a mixed bag. For Bluetooth headphones they're relatively discreet, they're comfortable to wear, and sound quality isn't bad, despite a complete lack of bass. Had the headset function worked as it should I'd consider ...
