Sound quality (my end and their end):
I am very pleased with how well I can hear others, even with background noise around me. My dad mumbles, and I can hear him more clearly on this headset than others I've tried. However, the folks I talk to tell me that they can't tell any difference between how I sound when I talk to them with this headset compared to my previous Jabra 5020 (which cost $30). I had to shell out $$$ for this item because my phone is nearly incompatible with bluetooth headsets, but if I didn't have a Sprint Treo 755p (fellow 755p owners see below), I would have stuck with the Jabra 5020's comparable sound (although my 5020 literally fell apart after 1 month).
If I make too much background noise on my end (crumpling newspaper, running water, shuffling papers, moving dishes etc), it's painfully loud for folks on the other end. But that has been the case for my Jabra 5020, Motorola H700, Plantronics Voyager 510, Gennum NX6000 and even a wired Jabra. And they can turn their headsets down.

Comfort and fit:
I find this VERY comfortable. It's made for user's to nestle the ear bud in your ear. It comes with ear gels in 3 sizes, and the medium fits my medium-small ear well. It will NOT stay in my ear without the flexible ear loop. The ear loop is bendable and did not break when I bent it to fit my ear. It has held its shape. Now I can shake my head and the headset won't budge.

Battery life:
The battery life is VERY poor and disappointing. I can only get a max of 60 minutes of talk time out of it. Even if I leave it turned on but don't use it, the battery drains in less than a day. I would have expected more battery life for this much money. I'm thinking of returning it for that reason. Note: I left the headset plugged into the charger all night. When I went to bed, the light was blue (indicates full charge, but when I retrieved it this morning, the light was red (low charge). Go figure.

FOR TREO 755p USERS:
I have a Sprint Treo 755p and finding a headset that is compatible with it has been a nightmare. I have only had this headset for a week, but so far it seems to be causing fewer problems than my previous 4 headset attempts. The headset picks up calls when it's supposed to about 85-90% of the time, which is by far the best I've experienced. FYI, I do not route calls directly to the headset, I press the button on the headset when I get or make a call. My Treo soft resets itself a whole lot, but it's hard to say if that has anything to do with the headset or not. It does it more frequently when the headset is on, but still does it when the headset's turned off.

Excellent Bluetooth with clear and crisp sound (speaker and mic). Most unfortunate (read incredibly cheap) ear hook design. Regardless of how I flex the earhook or any of the provided earbuds, the headset will not wear comfortably or stay in. I'm getting tired of constantly pushing it back while driving. Wearing the headset while walking is so much out of the question. A dedicated on-off switch would have increased it's usability. It's impossible to tell if the unit is on or off just by looking at the headset. If the battery discharges after a short time, it's most likely because the unit was inadvertently left on standby for a long time.

The best bluetooth headset for iPhone. Low battery consumption, great sound quality. Definately a product to have, if you have an iPhone.

Had high hopes as the company produces exceptional audio products. This is not one of them. No support for product and operation is not straight forward.

Do not recommend.
