I puchased this for the reason that; it hooked around your ear and, it had a small boom microphone which, I though would perform better than my Jabra earset. Unfortuately, I was wrong.
Sound quality was pretty good but, in order to achieve that quality you have to get the earpiece firmly in your ear. This is where my pain came in! The hard earpiece had to be lodged in my ear in such a way that, after about five to ten minutes, I had to take it out because of discomfort. While I did use it I tested the microphone by leaving myself voice mail messages both at home and on my cell phone. The sound quality was poor. If I couldn't even understand the message I left myself, that's pretty poor.
Overall, I could not recomend this for the reasons mentioned above. Save your money and, look elsewhere and, let me know if you find someting good!

Used this one for about a month and a half before it fell apart. The glue on the earpiece failed and now the speaker plug is hanging loose from its cheap plastic casing. The ear fit wasn't too comfortable either. I bought this because I didn't want one of those dangling mics, and this one looked less geeky than some of the other choices (like the Plantronics), but am now very much regretting my decision. btw, a coworker bought the Plantronics, and it has much better sound and build quality.

The design was flawed at best. It fell apart within 45 days, the ear piece came apart, the wiring became exposed at the earpiece, and the sound was lost soon after. The sound was mediocre. The only positive thing about it was the fact that it didn't fall off your ear. It really was a waste of my $$$$.

So far, I have bought 5 different kinds of headsets to use with cell/cordless phones. The BODY GLOVE EARGLOVE is fantastic! At first I was doubtful because of the brightcolored interchangable "neosleeve" covers..( I assumed it was a product geared towards kids & therefore COMFORT was probably low on the list) Was I surprised! Earphone and mic has better quality sound than my other fav plantronics. It truely "fits like a glove" is extremely liteweight & COMFORTABLE and most important of all: IT DOESNT FALL OUT WHEN YOU TURN YOUR HEAD! Highly RECOMMENDED. [Now, if only they would design headset that fits my siemens cordless....] only works with 2.5 jacks...NOKIA 5190 etc.

We bought two different "eargloves" this one is clearer and works well over the ear. Just plug it in and go. Has clear sound for the caller and receiver.

I could not wait to order this product. It looked great, had good technical writeups and reviews. When I did receive the headset I was very disappointed. I have a Nokia 8260 and the Body Globe 2.5 mm jack does not properly fit. The volume is so low that conversations are impossible. I already use the headset Nokia includes with the 8260 and it works very well. I was truely hoping for a more versitile and stylish headset. Instead I got a lemon with poor quality fit and performance.

This is a prime example of form over function. The headset itself is comfortable and form fitting. The earpiece sounds great if you find the sweet spot. However, the microphone piece does not pick up ANY sound - and this is after trying multiple sets. It was a great idea, but use some other headset instead.

I bought one of these, and the sound was so terrible - both talking and hearing - that I sent it back. The replacement was just as bad, and over the course of the week, the whole thing fell to bits. It was completely unusable, and they wouldn't honour the warranty, saying I must have abused it. As much as I would have liked to, I was very careful. The plastic bits covering the electronics just fell off as I was wearing it.

Also, in both cases, the ear thing was very difficult to set up for my ear and then to get on and off without screwing it up. If it isn't in just the right place, you can't hear.

This is a REALLY bad product and a total waste of money. The idea is good, however. Perhaps a better company will make one that actually works.

Do not buy this particular product if you have a Nokia 8260. The jack fits mechanically, but not electrically. The result is that the volume to the earpiece is so low it is unusable. Body Glove makes a version specifically for the Nokia 8260, but it is not yet offered by .... ... is now aware of this and no longer recommends this model for the Nokia 8260.

I have tried several different ones and this was the best sound I found. The mic did well with me and I have never had any complaints about the sound of my voice. I have tried it on several different phones and everyone says I sound fine. The speaker however, does not work at all unless you have it jammed in your ear and that was not comfortable at all. I could never get this to fit on my ear right so being of the mechanical mind that I am, I cut part of it off and added a piece from another headset. Now I have absolutely no complaints at all with sound. Honestly though, skip this and get something a bit better like from Plantronics.
