I have been using the Plantronics 906 since I got then in June 2010. While they are still going strong I ran across these and decided to upgrade. I use them for weight lifting several times a week for a few hours at a time. I was a bit worried that these would not stay in place while moving around but I can not shake them loose. Putting than on you can feel them grip your ear but the remain comfortable. I them can shake my head with all my might and they stay put.
As far as sound they are a very noticeable upgrade. When the music started I could not believe how clear and loud they were. I thought my 906s were good but these blow them away. They are also very isolating. They are much like wearing earplugs and keep out the gym noise and terrible gym music very well.
I really liked how easy they were to start using. When you turn them on for the first time they pair with your device and your ready to go. The cord is also a good length and the buttons are a good size making them easy to negotiate.
UPDATE:
I got these in Aug, its now Dec.
I still love them. They have been performing well and have really made an improvement in the gym. The only thing I can say bad is the battery just makes it for me. I'm a total gym rat and can have some long workouts. They have never run dead but I have completed workouts with them announcing they are low on power. For most people this will probably not be an issue but I do wish they last a bit longer. Still feel great and blocks out the background noise amazingly. The charge pack is also very handy and really makes the system work. Without it I would not be as happy. Its a great combo.
Update II
These are still going strong and are outstanding for the gym. I recently started taking a gym bag with me so I leave my phone in the bag. What surprised me was the range of the connection. I can go all the way across the gym(24HR) and have a perfect connection. The only time I start to loose connection is when I have the bag on the far side of the gym and go into the bathroom. Even then it does not start to cut out until Im passed the lockers, sinks, and three walls and in the toilet area.

Sound quality not sufficient for this price point
After about a year of use, I maintain my initial opinion that these are just okay - especially for the price. Overall, they look nice, but the sounds isn't on par w/ price. PROS: Nice form factor - easy to unplug and leave around your neck; easy setup & easy to turn on/off without having to touch the phone. Case charger - has saved me a couple times when I've forgotten to charge. CONS: Sound is tinny compared to other headphones I have - even with an equalizer, I can't get any good bass out of these things. Good for phone calls, not for music; Fit - they tend to slip out of my hears easily (a problem I have with many ear buds) - some 3rd party rubber buds helped make a more secure fit, but if I wear them while running, the rubber texture on the cord grabs my collar and they pop out often. Battery - battery life is definitely short - even for bluetooth headphones. I find that I have to charge them after every use at the gym and if I forget before the next day, It's a drag. The little charging battery in the case has saved me a few times. I can plug it in while warming up on the treadmill and they'll get enough juice to get me through weights.
