This is the fourth earset that I've tried. I've had a Jabra, Body Glove and, a inexpensive... little one that came with the phone. This one is far and away the best sounding earset out of the bunch. Sound quality for the user is very good to excellent and, the in-line microphone has exceptional sound quality. My testing of the microphones always consists of accuracy of voice activated dialing and, leaving messages on several different voice mail and answering machines. Although this may not be the most scientific way of testing them, it always gives me a good idea of what the person on the other end is dealing with. On all occasioins, the sound quality was great. If I didn't know any better I would thought the calls were made on a typical home phone.
Comfort is another factor when you're going to have something stuck in your ear for any length of time and this unit was very comfortable to me. Be advised though that this is a very subjective area and, what might be comfortable to me, might bring tears to your eyes. One word of advice, save your receipt if you find it uncomfortable after wearing it for a while, return it and, try another one.
Overall, this is a good sounding, quality unit. Perhaps the first one I've owned that preforms the way it's supposed to and, doesn't hurt to wear for a period of time.

This is by far the best-functioning earpiece I've used. The sound is clear, and it is compatible with every phone I've tried. The mute feature is great for the phone I have now, which for some unfathomable reason does not have a mute function built in (!!!). Back to the headset...It's great, but it wears out quickly. The wire between the microphone and the earbud frayed and wore out quickly, so now, people can hear me talking, but I don't hear them. A little disappointing considering you pay a premium for this product. However, I don't have a better earpiece to recommend. If you do buy, just expect to buy again soon.

While still searching for a satisfactory solution for my motorola v60, I tried this headset. While the mic quality was excellent, I found the earbud uncomfortable and had a really difficult time hearing callers on the other end. Especially in the car. I was always very satisfied with the headset that came with my Nokia phone, I wish I could find something comparible for the Motorola.

Well I thought that if it was Plantronics and it was not their cheapest model then it should function as advertised. Unfortunately after testing it with 2 Verizon LG phones I am sending it back. The ear piece is very big I have to say it was loud enough, but its impossible to fit it comfortably into the ear (and my ears are not small ). As for the microphone it is very bad, people constantly complained that they could not hear me. The mute button is flimsy, you feel like you using 99cent store earpiece. Moreover it adds to the weight of the device thus making it even more uncomfortable. My previous headset which came for free with my Motorola phone functioned much better.

The item came exactly as expected and in excellent condition. After several weeks of use it is still working fine with no problems. I was pleased to find this item on Amazon as traditional outlets such as Circuit City, Best Buy, etc no longer carried this model.

I've tried three others: Jabra, Motorola, and a super-cheapo, and this is the best yet.

The earbug is very uncomfortable and it keeps slipping out. I have a difficult time hearing the other side. The only time the other side can hear me well is when I hold the microphone very close to my mouth.
