This headset works great and although the microphone just hangs there on the cord, it picks up your voice great! Try it and you'll find yourself always plugging in when driving!

As a useful device, what I like most about this is its convenience, and the fact that you can carry it in your pocket.

Advantages:

1. It's truly hands free because you can both answer your calls and hang up on them without having to find the cell phone it's attached to.

2. Not quite as breakable as other similar products I've used, but it will still come to pieces within 2-3 months no matter what you do.

The three biggest drawbacks are:

1. (And this one is the worst) If there's any background noise, or if you're outdoors and there's even the slightest puff of wind, then people will have a very difficult time hearing you, and you'll get a lot of annoyed requests to talk without it (to put it mildly)

2. It does hurt the ear after a while, especially if you wear glasses of any kind, because of the added pressure.

3. It slips out of your ear easily

4. Despite advantage #2, above, it will eventually break if you're not very careful with it. I need to keep it attached while I'm rushing around, and sometimes I can't take the time to put it away as carefully as I should, and have to shove it into my pocket or untangle it from something. As a result, its life expectancy is usually under two months for people who use it like I do.

This earbud came with my 8290 and 3390. I thought I lost it, so I bought a Jabra earset (it was free after rebate after all..). So I found out where this one went - It was in my pocket and I washed it. I took it out, let it dry and it works perfectly! At first the mic didn't work but once I left it out for a few hours it was ok.
That's what I call durable! You can rely on this to last a long time. I'm still using mine even after I washed it! Don't know if it's worth the 24.99 though. That sounds a bit expensive, but for this type of quality it's well worth it!

The Jabra by the way, is collecting dust. The ear gels are really uncomfortable and it falls out of my ear. The on/off button is hard to press, you have to press it hard for it to hang up or use the voice dialing. I'm glad it came out to free after the rebates - Otherwise I would've been out $10 for somethign I would never use! The Nokia brand earbud beats Jabra hands down!

I bought this earbud as an upgrade to the earbud which came with my AT&T,Nokia 8260. I also bought the Jabra earbud - to compare both. This earbud works quite well. Compared to the Jabra the sound quality going into as well as coming out of this earbud is a little less clear. However, the major advantage of this earbud is that it doesn't pick up as much annoying wind noise or any of that rustling clothes noise. This earbud is sensitive enough but, not to sensitive to be obnoxious. I kept this earbud - It works well enough and is comfortable enough. The other though it comes with an assortment of ear "gels",is just to complicated and surprisingly uncomfortable for it own good.

I got this headset as part of the package for my 8260 and I'm definitely happy.It's a necessary product when driving especially with easy to use hang-up boutton on the mic.It's very light and comfortable.The earphone has good sound output, and the mic picks up sound very well.....

It must have saved me a couple of times while driving and trying to talk on the phone or answer a call.

Also, the law here is it's illegal to drive while talking on the phone so it saves you from some dumb tickets.

Being 29.99, it's a bit expensive, for a mic, earbud, and mini plug. You have to be careful not to stretch the wire, as you can break the fragile thin cables inside the rubber jacket, which should have been less streatchy.

After I lost my Nokia Earbud Headset for my Nokia 8890, I purchased the Jabra EarBoom and tried it out for a few days before returning it. The Nokia Earbud Headset is a lot better...in fact it's awesome. I don't have any problems with it. Compared to the Jabra, it is much better.

This is the single best accessory I have found for my 8290. I use my phone all day long, and have tried many other brands and styles of ear pieces. The quality and comfort of this earpiece beats the others hands down.

The earbud came with my 3360. I have never used an earbud before and was skeptical about it -- I couldn't imagine it staying in my ear. But it does, easily, and I use it all the time. It doesn't fall out when walking, and no one at the other end has ever complained about the microphone quality. I love it.

This headset works great with my Nokia 2610. It plugs in easily and has good voice quality. For me, it is the same as if I were talking on my cell phone without the headset. The price is great and I got one for my husband's phone too.
