I used this ear piece for about 3 months feeling pretty satisfied. I never had complaints about sound quality, and if fact I could hear better using it than without. It's true that no matter what size, the ear gel become uncomfortable after a while. And if you use your cell phone as your primary phone like I do, that's a big concern. Also, the winder on this thing is complete GARBAGE. I can't tell you how many times it would not wind up or unwind...the cord got tangled, and finally the whole thing just stopped working. I bought this to replace the other Jabra I had that didn't have the winder because I hated the cord getting caught on everything...now I don't like either of them. Guess I'm back to trying to find another one...

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved it, but...., September 14, 2004

I have owned 4 of these. Well, I actually owned an EarBoom by Jabra first. When it died (after about 6 or 9 months), I bought this little baby. My husband loved it so much he got one too. Mine died after a month, so I took it back and had it replaced. Then his died, and we had it replaced. Then my replacement died, and his did too. In all cases, the cause of failure was the join between the wire and the set itself. The flex point ruptures eventually, and then the wires are exposed and quickly break, resulting in a loss of either microphone or speaker function, eventually. This is very frustrating. Luckily, they have an excellent warranty, and the guys at RadioShack have been great about it.

On the other hand, this is a great product. The earGel can be a little uncomfortable at first, but after you use it for a week or so, you start to forget you're wearing it. The winder is a wonder, although a touch finicky, but if you treat it with respect and make a habit of always fully extending it (gently)before retracting it, you shouldn't have any problems. I am currently going through the agony of either replacing it again (this time buying it again since I've dithered long enough to slip out of warranty) or trying a new one. I already have a big enough collection of (sometimes expensive) headsets that didn't work for me.

Luckily the price has come down considerably to match the quality, although personally I would have preferred the opposite.

2.0 out of 5 stars like the winder, but poor sound quality, August 10, 2004

Con: I am disappointed in the poor sound quality of this device. Peoples voices are muffled and hard to discern. It sounds as though everyone is talking with a hand over their mouth on my end, but I have had no complaints about how I sound on the other end. Maybe the mic is good and the speaker bad, or maybe I've just got a defective product.

Pro: As the winder goes, I like it a lot. It is small and lets you put the whole thing in your pocket without tangle. This winder works like a miniblind. You pull both ends of the cord out a tad, then it retracts. I've never had a problem operating it.

This comes as a disappointment as I had a good experience with my last and similar jabra earbud - sounded good, and fit well - much better than my 'body glove' (too big for my ear, fell out constantly, and hurt) or my 'plantronics' (would always fall out, impossible to put in in time to answer a call).
