I just got one (thanks to those who suggested them in a recent thread!) I sweat like crazy and was always wiping my forehead. To combat this I bought the elastic (as opposed to the tie) version. It works quite well... that is especially evident after the run when I wring it out into a big puddle.
That said, if you have a hat that is already working, I don't see much reason to plunk down another $12+ to get the same effect. As to how I use it... I dunno, I guess I just put it on my head and run. The only thing I do differently is making sure that I put on some strong sunscreen first so that I don't end up with a tan-line across my forehead.

Nate,
Do you know how they compare to Under Armour headbands? Or Champion? Those aren't quite getting the job done for me.

Imminent Catastrophe
Love the Halo. I wear them under a hat most of the time, because the hat doesn't do the job once it gets saturated, but the headband does. Plus I like to wear my race or Maniac hats. Just received another one.
I also have the hat with built-in Halo but the problem is the hat they use is kind of small so if you have a big head (like me) it fits kind of tight (I've had this hat for a couple years so they may have changed that).

Don't be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.'
Ahh, gotcha... I've only used it for running and only a few times for even that, so far. The thread I read about them in is http://www.runningahead.com/forums/post/d74483d9b7934e2b8231e7dc06f491e5#focus
How they match up with other brands is a mystery, as before this it was nothing but salt-stung eyes. These have a gutter bit that channels the sweat to the sides of your head... maybe others do as well, but it's a nice feature. Good luck with the one you ordered.
