I've been using the Jabra Universal EarSet for the last week with a Motorola Talkabout phone. The incoming call quality is very clear, but background noise will play a tremendous part in how well your voice is picked up. You'll sound very clear in a quiet environment-your home, office, suburbs, etc. With a television on, things can get muddled. Outdoors in a city during rush hour is terrible, requiring you to cup your ear to give your voice any kind of quality.

Technology-wise, it's impressive how well the EarSet works, but for urbanites on the go, there are better products out there.

I have a Plantronics M175 handsfree unit and the sound quality on it was just incredible. It even has a mute function, which is handy when on conference calls. Still, it is an over the ear type device, thus at times, it just doesn't feel comfortable, though it seems to stay on my ear just fine. The need for comfort prompted me to buy the Jabra. The comfort on the Jabra is outstanding. The comfort alone kept me happy for a couple of weeks, but eventually, I went back to my Plantronics M175. The reason,.... sound quality! The Jabra tends to have a tunnel, echo like sound, especially when in the car during rush hour, (a time when you need the hands free unit most). The inability to even listen to some of my voice mails with the Jabra device at times prompted me to try the Plantronics M175 once again. The Plantronics device is crystal clear. I wish it was as comfortable as the Jabra, but when I break it down, I need to hear and understand first on my phone, comfort is secondary.

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 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 to.

Ive had this product for over a year with no problems. i tried the ones with the boom mikes which were more problems than any thing else and normaly i ended up hitting the mike with my hand.. also wearing sunglasses was discomforting as well.. With the jabra i noted no background noise while using the unit with the windows up and air on which is what you would want to do any way while carrying on a conversation in the car. as far as the body noise goes that problem can be solved easily however since the mike is part of the ear piece the person you are speaking to will hear all that you do this includes gritting teeth and chewing on m&m's while you talk over all though there is no better unit currently on the market that is as convenient..

This works fine if your in a quiet place, but because the mic is in the earpiece, it picks up eveything that is going on around you if there are any other noises. But for [price], I still think it works pretty good.

The earpiece may fit comfortably and even sound pretty good, however the microphone is not aceptable. I find that I have to speak way too loudly in order for the other person to hear what I am trying to say. Either I talk so loud that everyone around me hears my conversation or the person I'm calling can't hear me well enough. This is not an item I would recommend to anyone unless you really want to annoy anyone within 10 feet of you.

This was my very first earpiece purchase before bluetooth phones/earpieces were financially available to me. LOL I loved this earpiece and its price so much that I bought like 3 of them! I ended up selling one of them to a friend (but only because she begged me) and keeping the other two for myself. I managed to break one of them and was grateful that I had the extra one to fall back on immediately because it was no longer for sale here. Once BT earpieces were available to me with a external adapter, I graduated from this unit. I have nothing bad to say about this unit & probably still have it in a box somewhere. I bought it simply because the microphone wasn't annoyingly located in the cord and it fit securely and comfortably in your ear. I recommended it to others.

This earset worked fine in areas of good reception. In areas of low reception, the microphone didn't work well. People couldnt hear me talk and I had to pull out the earphone and talk on the phone. I live in a rural area and this made the earset useless.

I have had the Jabra earpiece for 6 months+ and I think it works really well. The quality is great, it picks up your voice well and it does well with background noise. I highly recommend it.

This is the best earset I have used. I have tried several boom types and other earbuds. This by far has the best sound quality and the most comfortable. The only negative is when in a windy environment the parties on the other end can not hear your conversation.
