despite the fantastic reputation that motorola products have kept over the years, this one is definitely NOT part of their line of terrific products. i have to admit that it does in fact work well in the sense that it is indeed clear, but comfort is not part of this package. the over-the-ear piece is made of very sturdy AND uncomfortable plastic, very painful over long periods of time. for those with "larger-than-normal" earlobes, watch out for massive blood restriction if not swelling in the ears. the speaker microphone barely moves enough to reach the mouth. as opposed to rotating in a 360 degree circle, it barely moves 90 degrees in each direction; therefore restricting the microphone to a very select area. i would highly recommend looking at a more comfortable hands free set; this one is a definite LOSER~

I'm a small male (5'4" - 125lbs). I've tried for some time to use the Motorola Over-the-Ear technology for some time with no success. The oval shaped plastic cannot be adjusted for ears below a certain size and those without the requisate lobe geometry. I only use it on my cordless at home. In the car, it's actually more of a distraction than holding the phone to my ear because it just sort of dangles from the top half of the ear clip part.

The sound quality is OK (caller and callee).

I tried few headsets before I found this one, including Jabra. All of them were terrible - they hurt your ear, you hardly can hear anything through the noise. But this one is a winner. You can talk hours without feeling any discomfort and the sound is perfect. Do yourself a favor and buy this one.

The earpiece on the headset I received was not the same as in the picture. Rather than slipping over the ear, my headset was open at one end so it didn't grasp the ear well. It was reversible so it could be used on either ear but didn't stay on well. Also, the boom didn't have the windscreen pictured, and it was not adjustable. I returned the item and will try to find another.

If you were to rate this set based on clear listening and communications, definitely five stars. However, the mic 'boom' is to stiff and has snapped in three places. So I continue to use this set, but I look even goofier than normal because it's all being held together with krazy glue and duct tape. I'd love to see a set with a flexible boom and an on/off stitch.

If you prefer an over the ear holder and a mike then it is definitely a good choice. Sound quality is good and very comfortable.
I have seen other copies of this mike under another brand name for a little less, but sill a decent value.

... you're cheating yourself of the best feature of these cellular phones. Being able to run around and talk or drive and talk makes these phones super convenient. The clarity of the phone is much better with these types of earphones too. Although I couldn't find it @ amazon, I personally prefer when the earpiece fits in your ear and the mic is part of the wire, but this one will work just as well.

Have fun! (And drive safe, will you???)
