MDR-10RBTs are back on sale for $180 across multiple retailers in US. I think they'll sound comparable to the Pendulumics but look nicer to me. Returning my Pendulumics
I'd assume it's automatic, I'm not 100% sure, as my PC doesn't tell me, but based on birarda's post it seems to be automatic. I dunno if there's a way to check on Win7 with my adapter
Neither my phone nor tablet support apt-x, so I can't really test with those sadly

Seems to activate automatically. OS X is reporting that it is using aptX with the S1s for me.

I had a chance to have the Sony MDR 10RBT for a while and for the money they are good. I got them on sale for $150.. They have aptx, and can play Hi Res Audio files when wired. As far as SQ, they were good, not that good to give specifics, but I can give a comparison of the MDR 10RBT to the other two headphones I own. They are the Harman Kardon BT, and the Sony MDR 1RBT MK2..
Right off the bat, I am going to tell you the Sony MDR 1RBTMK2, is in a different class, but they cost twice and some of the MDR 10RBT. So on their price level, I compared the MDR 10RBT to the Harmon Kardon BTs, to me, and a couple of my co-workers the Sony MDR 10RBT was slighty better. I think they are on the same level, performance wise and price wise with the Pendulumics..
Be nice if you could have them both and do a comparison listening to one right after another..IMO, I think they both are good, and one couldn't' go wrong with either..
Yeah, I have a line on a pair of used 1RBTMK2s for a great price, but they're across the country and I'd have to get a friend to buy them and then ship them to me. I'd be worried about getting scammed and paying ~$250 to end up with a pair of not-working beautiful headphones.
To tell the truth, with $250, you are 5/6ths of the price for brand new MDR 1RBTMK2.. I paid $309 + $25 for shipping, I think they came from Hong Kong. No matter, shipping took 9 days after I made the order. That is fast overseas shipping. Now I look and the same vendor has the MK2s for $305... Also, they have the Sony MDR 10RBT for $269, go figure..So, before I would go for the used set for $250, I would add the extra $50 or $75 and get a new set..
Mind pointing me in the direction of the vendor?
Although I'm planning on returning the S1s, I will say that I'd recommend bluetooth headphones to anyone thinking about it.
It's been incredibly refreshing to not have a cable coming out of my ears today.
