This headset is used with a bluetooth link on a computer. The battery lasts longer than many competitors, hearing through the ear piece is fine, but the mic often creates a hiss on the other end. When the computer mic is used, that is the optimal situation for all worlds with this headset.
Has three buttons: a call button, and two volume buttons. It looked like it wasn't put on right, but I couldn't get it to fit correctly. Bought this as a present. In terms of comfort, it depends on your ears. Overall, it's cheap, and it does it's job. The headset can be switched from left to right ear quite quickly. My ears seems to cause this to point out a bit.
This wasn't a problem for me since it was for someone else and it fit them well. It's pretty simple, no advanced features. I think it's because my ear canal is a little too small for it, and it doesn't fit all the way in. After you flip it, you can flip the buttons on the side otherwise it will just be backwards. For me, this didn't fit as well as I wanted it to. So, just as a caution, smaller ears might not fit this well. Just watch out for how it might fit.
Audio quality seems is quite clear as well. As other reviewers have noted, personal preference plays a big role in the evaluation of headsets.I've previously owned a Plantronics Voyager 520 headset. Compared to that headset, the mic quality seems to be much better - the people that I've called can not tell that I'm using a headset, even while talking with them while walking outside. And I personally like the fact that the ear piece doesn't stick into my ear - it seems more sanitary.The only thing I don't completely like is that the headset feels a little loose on my ear - it feels like it might fall off if I run with it on. However, that's a minor annoyance, since I normally don't run while talking on my cell phone.Overall, I would highly recommend this headset - good mic and clear audio at a very reasonable price.
The output sound is rather decent, sometimes it will come in with a bit of noise though. I like to use it, but the people I talk to on the phone don't. I find my self constantly having to take it out because the person on the other side is complaining I sound like I'm talking from the bottom of a giant tin can. It's good for when in walking around in the winter and I don't want to take my hands out of my pockets or when I'm driving in my car, but other then that, this thing is a bit more of a hassle then a luxury.
That's why I wasn't willing to pay much for another.This thing has received a lot of neg reviews. Twenty feet away from my phone and just the hint of static. In my experience bluetooth has been way over hyped. I would hear static if I went more than eight feet from the phone and the volume wasn't loud enough.
Looks refurbished3. The problem is persistent as it usually takes at least 2 attempts to sync back with the phone after turning on bluetooth.4. I paid almost $100 for the first headset. Maybe I'm just lucky. At least 2x better than the other headsets I've used.3.
However, it didn't fall off even when walking around.2. These headsets easily break, wear out (once the battery fails that's it), and are easy to lose. This has been the best headset I've purchased so far.Pros1. The instructions were just a really bad photocopy.
This is my fourth bluetooth headset. Holds a charge for a LONG timeCons1. It just hangs on your earlobe. Took at least six attempts to initially pair with my phone. The claims on distance from my phone are - for once. Once I used it it worked great. The two cheap replacement headsets were no better or worse.
Again, maybe I was just lucky. Loud (Not sure why others are experiencing the opposite)2. - true. Very little warning when battery starts to go deadWhen I first opened the bag (didn't come in retail package) I thought I'd been ripped off. I just know that this works better - with the exception of the hassle of repeated attempts to pair with phone - than the first $100 Plantronics headset I bought.
