After researching bluetooth headsets on Amazon and asking several people I met in stores, I decided to try this headset. Also 3 salespeople in my company use this headset or the logitech Freedom which is a good value for the price. As for the negative comments about comfort, I also wear glasses. So I took the headset into my local Costco and had the optical dept. heatup and adjust the ear piece. It paired up easly with my Motorola Razar v3. Everyone tells me they hear me clearly and the contol buttoms are easy to use. The volume adjusts just fine for me even with the road noise in my truck. The main thing I wanted in a headset was the ability to voice dial in my truck with road noise and use it outside without a light breeze making it impossible for people to hear me and this headset works great for both compared to a Motorola bluetooth headset I tried before.

I've used the headset for a little over a year and, although plagued with disconnects when idle, was relatively pleased with the sound quality. Not being connected when calls came in was a major annoyance. There was no notice when it disconnected. Recently the plastic ear clip broke and I contacted Logitech and was informed that,since it was over the one year warranty, my only option would be to purchase a new headset; a huge price to pay for a piece that costs pennies.

Logitech's concern for its customers appears to be nonexistant.

The title sums it up. The sound in th earpiece is pretty good, better than the phone in my case. However, if you have the volume turned all the way up, the other party receives a fair amount of feedback. This can be troublesome during calls with poor connections. The tramission to the phone allows you about 25-30 feet, which is not too shabby. The battery life, however, leaves something to be desired. I generally get about 3 hours talk time total, and find I have to put the unit on the charger more often than I care to. Lastly, the earpiece becomes quite uncomfortable, even when shifting it around. I can only stand it for about an hour and then my ear hurts; it hurts even worse when you take it off as your ear tries to take back its normal shape.

It bears mentioning that I received this unit as a replacement/upgrade to the Logitech Mobile Freedom headset, which was defective right from the package.

My next headset will probably be a Jabra.

This headset has a major flaw - the connections between the headset and phone are full of static. The other parties don't hear it, but their voice is constantly zapped by the static, and I'm asking them to repeat themselves. I've compared it with a couple other headsets I've got, and they don't have this problem in the same locations. Actually, this headset has static problems ANYWHERE - office, car, out walking, you name it.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

This headset is uncomfortable to wear but if you heat the earpiece and bend it outwards and back it will fit just fine. You can also go to an eyewear store and have them do it for you.As for the performance it is great. I drive truck and have a lot of background noise and windows are usually down partially and everyone has no problems hearing and understanding me and I can hear them just fine also. The volume is great and at times I have to turn it down in volume. Have tried the AnycomHS-890 and this outperforms it hands down. Have had it drop my phone on occasion but never during a call where the Anycom would at any time. I would definitely reccommend this headset to anyone in a noisy environment. Very satisified with the performance. Tried to change the rating and seems like can't do that once the review is written. Amazon needs to fix the edit system on this.

I bought the Mobile Traveller SE through Verizon for my Treo 650 within week I noticed that it was dropping the connection with my phone and never knew when I was answering on the phone or headset. I would occassionally press the button to "ping" the phone to verify the connection was there. I called Logitech support and they agreed to send me a new headset. They sent me the non-Verizon version, Mobile Traveller. So far, it is an improvement and I haven't dropped the connection to my phone once this past week. As for the tight fit on the ear, with a little pressure you can bend the ear hook piece to widen it and it will fit looser on the ear. I got mine to fit snugly without the pain and I can wear it all day. I had the Jabra BT350 before (until my 3 year old spilled orange juice on it and ruined it) and for the same price, I'd get the Mobile Traveller with the Windstop microphone, a great improvement over the Jabra.

I've had two of these. Both sounded and worked well for a few months. then the piece that goes over the ear and is described as too tight broke completely off of the first unit and snapped in two places on the second. When this happens, you're perfectly operating earpiece becomes a bad piece of geek jewlery. While it's perfmance was good before the break, the use of heap plastic under the rubberized piece instead of a small piece of "memory titanum" or something better renders this thing to the level of toxic waste (battery contains lithium I bet) Skip by this one if you're smart. I've been had twice.

The sound quality and functionality of the headset are fine, comparable with others. However, the comfort is just terrible. Not only is it tricky to put on, but after an hour or so of wear, it is very painful.

Since I use a headset for hours a day, this one was no good for me.

I originally purchased the Logitech Mobile Freedom headset but when the clip that goes behind your ear broke, Logitech exchanged it for the Mobile Traveller.

Unfortunately, this one is not comfortable at all. I agree with others that after 30-45 minutes, it feels like your ear is in a vise. It's true. It hurts.

Sound quality is very good. People say they can hear me just fine, and I can hear them just fine.

But it also disconnects with my cell phone when it is not in use. What good is that? Then when the phone rings, I don't hear it.

Then the clip broke on this one as well. Logitech again replaced it. But how long will this one lsat?

Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

I've used this model headset for 6 months, and the sound quality is great. I drive a truck for a living, and needed a headset with low backgound noise from the truck. The "windstop" technology works good. I wear it about 6-7 hours a day. The earpiece can be straightened slightly to minimize discomfort. Only problem is it disconnects sometimes at "rest". It beeps when it disconnects, and reconnects automatically, usually within a minute or two. Would (and have) recommended to friends.
