I would avoid this 'mission control' headsets for a number of reasons, especially since there are a number of alternatives. First, you will soon be annoyed by the microphone 'ball' which dangles unnecessarily in front of your mounth. At this stage in audio technology, the microphone can be near the ear piece and still pick up and filter out appropriate sound. Second, there is no reason to have these in glow colors. If there is any thing that you don't want to 'show off' it is a headset. If you want to spend just a little money, check out the AT&T 90800 headset. It works very well and is dirt cheap. If you want more comfort and really plan to use this device, go with the Plantronics M175 -- I think it is worth the price difference and have used multiple units over the past 3 years.

My expectations weren't too high for this inexpensive headset, so when I could barely hear anything when I first tried it I wasn't surprised.... But then I figured out that the plug wasn't completely pushed in (it needs to CLICK) and suddenly it worked perfectly and clearly!

I found the microphone to be well placed. The ones off to the side don't work for me. And I never eat while on the phone, so it never gets 'in the way'... I use it on an at&t DECT6.0 phone system, SL822x8.

I doubt if this would be a good solution if you planned to wear it all day, but for an hour or so, it's great!

I've spent a lot of time on the phone handling medical bills from my baby's heart surgery, while wrangling the 6,5,3 and 1 year olds around the house. I bought 4 of these thinking they were the answer to my prayers and my neck might not need long term physical therapy from holding the phone between my ear and shoulder. From the time I took these out of the package, they came apart in my hands. Every one of them. I can try snapping the different pieces together again, but they don't stay. Since they are so flimsy and snap apart so easily, you certainly can't consider actually adjusting them on your head.

Don't buy this!!!!

I found this item previously at a hardware store that was closing, so I knew what I was in for. Yes, it is not made all that well as the plastic parts can break if you are not careful, but if you do take care of this headset, it is a good value for the money spent. Also, there is good volume from the speakers, unlike other headsets I have used. It does not come with adjustable volume, but for the price, I can do without it. I bought several of these to stock up on as I go through headsets quickly. BTW, I also found one in purple here for even less of a price than this one!

These things are RED. So if you care about that sort of thing... I have not noticed any of the noise canceling action on these, must be passive noise canceling from the foam piece. First one broke after light use for a couple months. I preemptively applied some tape to that spot on the second one and it broke in the same spot.

Sound on these is fine. Ergonomics however suffer. The mic arm isn't flexible. It rests vertically in only one spot. Regardless, a decent headset for the price. I think I paid a couple bucks per unit.

I use them about 10 hours/week and they seem to last about three months each. The price has risen considerably since my purchase. Not worth the higher price. $5 including shipping is a reasonable cost for something of this quality. If they get that low again, buy several... you'll need'em.
