4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Handsfree Choice, February 7, 2003

I had seen several people using this and thought it was a great design. They gave it excellent reviews so I took the plunge.

I was under the impression that the ear piece picked up your voice from your ear canal so that your speeach would be crystal clear to the person on the other end. However, this isnt the case. The mic is in the piece that sticks out of your ear. This is only a problem in loud environments where the mic tends to pick up a lot of background noise. I drive a sports car that has a relativly loud cockpit and tend to get complaints from the people I speak to. When I drive the wife's sedan its no problem at all.

As for quality, it is very well put together and I haven't had any issues. The brightly colored silicone ear pieces let you select from small, medium and large for both right and left ears. I leave mine in the car a lot and the blue colors started to fade and popped off of the earphone more easily. The rubber ear piece can be easy to loose.

Sound quality is very good as long as the rubber piece is correctly seated on the earphone. It also has to be placed in your ear correctly or the sound is a bit muffled.

I had tried other over the ear boom mics and those "bug on a wire" style. They all present compromises on quality and clarity. This has been the best trade off I have tried.

Overall a high quality hands-free that looks cool too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good concept but, poor execution, March 7, 2002

I bought this earset and, used it for about a year before finally giving up on it and trying something else. First, the positives: it is light weight, the users sound quality is good to excellent and, I loved the fact that it had an inline switch that could answer my phone. That aside, here are some of the things I didn't particularly like: the ear gels; while they are comfortable, I always felt like my ear was between sizes and, the earset was either going to fall out or, it was too tight. Another thing with the ear gels is that they sit pretty far into the ear canal and, no matter how clean I kept my ears, the gels always had that, eww, gross look and appeal to them. The sound quality to the caller wasn't the best, I found myself doing a lot of yelling so people could understand what I was saying.
Just let me say that these head/earsets are very subjective and, my best advice to you would be to try one until you find you're comfortable with especially if you're going to be using it a lot. What's one persons preference in this case may not be right for another user.

You have to speak loud in order for the person on the other end to hear you. that may be a bit inconvenient to use it at work. The earpiece fits really well and is very comfortable, and comes in 3 sizes: L, M, and S.
