First of all, as of 8/24/01, Amazon has the wrong picture shown for this product. You'll have to go somewhere else to see an actual pic of the product. Good ear piece design. Good fit and good speaker. The boom is very small and works well. People I talk to when driving my pick-up truck are able to hear me no problem. First design flaw: no volume control. There is an answer/disconnect button on the cord, but no volume control. Too bad. Second design flaw: cheap cord. The cord is a stiff, light-weight grade. This is bad because the cord doesn't want to lay flat against my body/chest. It sticks out, defying gravity, according to the kinks it developed during packaging. It would be much better if it had a heavier, more flexible cord, like those used in walkman headphones. I could deal with the absence of the volume control, but the cord issue drops it to 4 stars (almost 3). Amazon's prices make this a great value, though. I'm using a company phone, so I can't compare the performance against the Nokia headset that came with it -- never had it.

I have had my 8260 since ATT started selling them and have hated the Nokia earbud ever since. No one had a compatible headset until I found the Jabra EarBoom and now I am a happy camper. It's comfortable, it works (REALLY !) and has been reliable. If I have to give it a ding for anything it would be the cable. It's a bit stiff - oh well - IT happens and no one is perfect. Bottom line - if you have a Nokia 82xx - get a Jabra

This is by far Jabra's bestm model for clarity both on your end and the person you're talking with. Less wind and background noise disturbance than other models, this Jabra rivals Nokia's own earpiece for clarity. One caveat, don't plan on keeping this little thing in your ear for more than 20 minutes and expect to be pain free. Jabra could have molded the ear gels better so that there wasn't a sharp edge all the way around. Of course, this depends on the shape of your ear, but I've heard this from others, so it's something to consider.

Maybe I have funky ears but the gelfoams that come with the EarBoom are worthless. I have a Nokia 8260 and love the earbud that came with it. However, I lost the small foam piece (covering the earbud) which actually helps hold the earbud in place. Since then, its been tough to keep the earbud in my ear without the foam piece.

I decided to buy the EarBoom as a replacement. Bad mistake. In addition to not staying in my ear, the intonation is tinny at best. The only reason I gave this product even 2 stars was that it had a foam piece on the microphone portion of the EarBoom which I have placed on my Nokia earbud. Small retribution but worth a couple of stars.

not worth it to buy. but it's an old item. the ear piece is not as comfortable either.

I recently purchased the Jabra Earboom for my Nokia 8260 phone, the Earboom is excellent. As many people have noted in their reviews, the image Amazon is showing with this item is incorrect, as the Earboom features a small flexible microphone that comes approx halfway down your face. With the 6 provided "ear gels", I was easily able to find an earpiece that fit the contour of my ear snugly, yet comfortably. The sound quality for you the listener is quite good, and people I've called have told me that the sound quality on their end is also excellent. With the Nokia earbud that came with my phone, I often found that others couldn't hear me well, as the dangling microphone would bump against my shirt collar or get twisted around. The on-off button is also a much-appreciated feature for picking up or ending call while driving.

I have tried 2 different Jabra Earbooms. I sent the first one back because I thought it was deffective, but both make clickity clack snap crackle pop noises with my Motorola 720. So, iffen you have this phone, I can't recommend it.

It has very good sound, actually I have a motorcycle and I've been using it with no problem whatsoever. People on the other end hear me very well also.

The ear attatchments are great but it didn't plug into my phone very well (Nokia) and the sound was aweful but if all your looking for is a part time use ear phone then this will work. I really liked the way the attatchments fit my ear snuggly and I didn't have to worry about it falling out which usually happens with the stock one that Nokia sent me. The clip is a little big and bulky too.
