My girlfriend and I both own a set and are very satisfied with it. This was the third set that we tried, and was definately the best. I own a Samsung Samsung SGH-X427 and she onws a SGH-S307. We both initially purchased the Samsung hands-free set. We assumed that Samsung's own set that was designed for their own phones would be the best choice. But unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The sensitivity of the microphone was too low, so if we both were using the set, we could barely hear each other. We next tried a universal plantronics set (this model was not available in B&M stores). We were able to hear to each other just fine, but it would often introduce a lot of static. I was the lucky enough to find this set on the internet. A plantronics set that was made designed for Samsung phones. I never knew this existed since Plantronics' website doesn't acknowledge it. We tried these out, and the sound was crystal clear with no interference. The sensitivity of the mic was perfect. We could not differentiate, at all, if the other was using the set or not.

I highly recommend this product if you own one of these Samsung phones (Amazon doesn't list all the compatible models): SGH-C225, SGH-S307, SGH-S300, SGH-S300M, SGH-D410, SGH-D415, SGH-X426, SGH-X427, SGH-X475, SGH-X495 , SGH-X497, SGH-E105, SGH-E715, SGH-P100, SGH-P107, SGH-X105.

I got this device after living with the not so great earbud that came with the Samsung SGH E715. I couldn't find any other device that worked due to Samsung's wonderful proprietary standards. After a year of not hearing conversations and sounding like I was in a wind tunnel, I found this beauty on Amazon and took a chance in ordering it.

Everyone I spoke to now says I sound great and I can easily hear what they are saying. It also has an on/off switch so I can press 1 button to start or end the conversation. Although the mic looks short and may not reach my mouth, it actually picks up everything I say. Normally, I don't like sticking anything in my ears and prefer the over-the-head style headset, but this one has become comfortable in the ear. I drive with it on now and don't even realize I'm wearing it. So I guess I'm used to it after only a week.

So, if you have one of these older Samsung cell phones - get this MX153. Worth the price to finally be heard in the car.

I was interested in a device for hands free safety while driving. I got what I wanted with the plantronics device and very good clarity besides. I have not experienced anything negative over the past couple months.

Too much interference. Might as well just buy Samsung's crappy headset because it is clear.

I have had 3 different cell phones in the past year and everytime I get a new phone I HAVE to get the plantronics headset too! They work great and are very durable! I would definately recommend it to all folks that drive and talk on their cell phones.

As a long time user of Plantronic headsets it was a no brainer for me to choose one of their products. It is comfortable and the microphone is very sensitive. I do highly recommend that you use a windscreen on the microphone to reduce noise due to the sensitivity.I am told that the reception is very clear. The placement of the microphone on the cell phones can cause difficulty if the phone is positioned incorrectly while speaking.

The only negative to the this headset is that the ear piece doesn't always fit very well in my ear. Aside from the it has worked perfectly.
