5.0 out of 5 stars
The Works, July 8, 2003
This is the only headset I've tried that actually doesn't fall out or hurt. The part that wraps around the ear is flexable and keeps the earpeice close enough to the ear to hear well. No constant pushing to keep it in, like a plain earbud or even one of those jelly type things. Also, it is not big and obvious looking. The mic picks up sound very well. When talking to another person, they couldn't tell I was using a headset. I was worried that without a boom, that the mic may not be able to pick up my voice as well. Not so. Even with my car radio on, my conversations get through just fine. Excellent quality and worth the price. In fact, my husband borrowed it and won't give it back! Guess I'll buy another one.

sounds great, but the earclip has got to go, February 27, 2005
I am very surprised how well the microphone works without sounding distant or like a speakerphone. I've even tested it myself by calling a couple of my own different voice mail boxes and leaving messages. And no one on the other end during conversations has had any problem hearing me, or even seems to know that I am on anything other than a regualar handset. I use this headset with a Plantronics 900mhz wireless transmitter with handset lifter with a business phone system. Ironically, even the Plantronics rep advised against using one of the cell phone line of headsets with their office phone headset amplifiers, but didn't offer much reason why, maybe because they retail for $100 less. But I wanted something very small and simple to wear while I am on and off the phone at work. I will have to say the wirelss headset amp that I use does have different settings for both headset and microphone, so maybe I have it set just right to compensate for whatever difference there is between cordless phone and cell phone headsets , if there is any difference at all. All I know is that I havn't had to mess with the settings at all and it works excellent, no more trying to do a two handed job at work while holding a office phone handset in one hand or on my neck. As for the special ear hook design, I didn't like it. It's ok to wear for say less than 10 minutes, but any longer than that, and my ear would get sore from the inside and out, I guess because of the slight bit of pressure from the rubber ear hook. The hook also makes it a bit difficult to take in and out quickly with one hand when answering calls. But I liked the quality of the phone so much, I deciced to modify it. I ripped off the rubber ear hook, and ground the edge down smooth, so now I have a regualar earbud headset! Easy to take in and out and works excellent.

Comfortable, decent voice quality, January 7, 2004
I purchased this headset earlier this year to use primarily at home. The design is comfortable for an in-the-ear device, and it stays in place quite well. The speaker sound quality is very good, but the microphone leaves something to be desired. When I use it outside on the street, my friends often cannot hear my voice, and even in a quiet room, people complain that it can be difficult to hear.All in all, a useful headset.
