I've been looking for a pair of Stereo BT headsets for quite a while so when I saw these I went and got them. They look exactly like the ANYCOM and SURECOM varieties [probably just re-branded].
--
The Box:

What's in the Box? The headset, charging adapter, a CD for MSI Blueplayer, English and Chinese Manuals.

--
Checked the CD and it includes MSI Blueplayer for select Nokia S60 devices.
The charging adapter is also compatible with Nokia's charger I suspect that iTech was targeting Nokia mobile owners with this device. Anyway I don't have a Nokia anymore so I can't test the app.
--
Pairing with my 838 was pretty easy I just followed the Manual, unlike most BT headsets I've tried the code for this one was 8888 instead of the usual 0000.

[Here is the Headset showing up on my Devices list]

[To use it to stream music you have to tap-n-hold and set it]

Comfort:
For my ears it is not as comfortable as I had hoped for. But it is ok.
Design:
It is a bit on the bulky side even when it is folded up.
Build Quality:

It looks cheap because it is all plastic but I hope it is sturdy.
Music:

Using the BlueBAND for music is ok, but don't expect very high quality audio. Sometimes though the music is cut and resumes [I am not sure if it is the headset or my 838 which is responsible for this]
Calls:
Of course the BlueBAND can also be used to make calls. Nothing to write home about though. Sometimes there is an echo of sorts.
--
Pros:
Light Weight
Good Volume
Bundle with MSI Blueplayer for select Nokia Mobiles [untested]

Cons:
No AVCRP
Can be more comfortable
Looks and Feels Cheap
Doesn't Include Charger [you need a Nokia charger and the adapter to charge it]

--
Conclusions:

The i.Tech BlueBAND is an in-expensive way to enjoy music from my 838 wirelessly. It may not sound as good as wired earphones but it is a lot cooler!
