5.0 out of 5 stars Love it buying another, July 21, 2009

I bought this online from another seller at twice this price a year ago. I love it. It is comfortable, works really well, everyone understands every word and I hear clearly with it even in the car. Unlike the over ear hanging on one ear styles so popular this one does not make your upper ear hurt after use and does not interfere with glasses either. I broke mine packing it carelessly in luggage on a plane trip so I am buying two this time, one for home and one for travel. My hubby teases me I that I look like Madonna in concert with it on, that doesn't bother me at all. It lasts long on one charge, works well, and my ears don't hurt after wearing it a long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent over-the-head headset..., January 17, 2010

I bought this headset because I wanted to have a Bluetooth headset that's not stuck in my ear, crammed over my ear, or hovering in my neck (either might work great for some people, but definitly not for me - after a few minutes either option starts to annoy me, up to the point where some of these options even start to hurt).

For the past 10 years, I have been using one and the same super light Plantronics headset, to make calls using my cellphone or cordless home phone.

I wanted to same, now with Bluetooth (it's a pain when the cord gets stuck somewhere).

This headset is doing just that.

It's very light, has good sound, people understand me very well, etc.

It also comes with 2 spare microphone foam covers, and the padding around the speaker is not the cheap foam stuff that degrades after a few months.

Pairing went quickly, and I managed to get it to work with my iPhone, Uniden cordless home phone, MacBook, and Mac pro (Windows 7, XP, and MacOSX 10.6), without any issues.

The only downsides I would can come up with are that initially the headset feels a little different, but one gets used to that very quickly (after a few seconds I forgot I was wearing it).

The other downside I can come up with is that the charger connector is a proprietary connector - where a mini-USB connector would have been much easier - specially when you're not having the charger cable with or when you lost the charger cable.

Tip for those who hear their own voice echo during a conversation; aim the microphone below the corner of your mouth.

I would (and actually will) recommend this headset to friends for sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really like it; great alternative to similarly styled headsets, February 3, 2010

Died in October after eight months of use... :( But it is such a good headset, I will probably buy another.

Review, updated after seven months of use.

The good things about this headset, after one month of use:

- It's much lighter weight compared to the similarly-styled headset with a boom microphone.

- Volume is good.

- The sound quality both ways is good. No scratchiness. I didn't see mention of noise canceling in the item description, but people on the other side cannot hear background noise. And I do NOT sound like I'm in a tin can! LOL.

- Charger chord breaks in two, so you can charge your headset using a USB port on your computer.

- I've never had the battery run out. I'm not a heavy user, and I do tend to charge it every day... but still, a lot of batteries would be showing their age at seven months.

The bad things about this headset:

- Sometimes it gets persnickety and keeps dropping and then hooking up to my headset, but this happens mostly when the headset is in my purse with the handset. It's never dropped a live call. I turn it off and on, and then it is fine.

- That's about it!

ALSO: I highly recommend this seller, Cellular Innovations. When I had a problem with the headset battery right after I wrote this review, Cellular Innovations said "We'll send you a new one and you can send us the old one back." They even paid for shipping both ways!
