3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but not perfect, February 18, 2009

By	Lon Mcclure (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I searched long and hard for a wired headset w/mic to use with VOIP on my netbook. The device had to be super-compact with easily stowable cords and had to work decently. My purpose for having this device is as a substitute for when my Jabra Bluetooth headset is not charged or other-wise unusable. This device fills the bill in most respects. The two shortcomings are 1)poorly fitting earpiece 2)inconsistant cord-length lock mechanism. The cord-length lock is getting better over time and I was able to fix the ear fit problem by replacing the provided ear-gel with a spare Jabra ear-gel. Much better! Sound quality (sending & receiving) is not stellar but is acceptable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works. Cheap. Teeny, September 4, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this to try out Skype. I hadn't ever tried it and was absolutely expecting crap quality of the connections. I was totally wrong.

Further, I was wrong about this headset. I am amazed - really - at how well it works. It's not perfect, but it's a lot like a wired car kit. People can hear background noise. But it's simple, clear, and it was cheap.

Great way to try Skype. And great thing to toss into my laptop bag to make calls. It works!

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality product, July 17, 2008

By	ORZ (SF bay area) - See all my reviews

I was looking for mono headset to use with Skype phone on my home laptop. I bought and returned three other headsets made by small companies from Radio Shack and Fry's. All those had low quality speakers or weak microphones, and also did not sit tight on the ear (dangling). Then I recalled that I already have high quality retractable stereo headset with crisp sound and very good mike at work so I looked at the brand name and it was retractable headset from Emerge Technology. So I went to their website and discovered that they make mono headset also with premium sound so I ordered one from Amazon. It is indeed high quality headset. You can even use it to listen music. Mike is terrific - sound is crisp and clear. The only problem - ear bud does not seat tight on ear, like say on Jabra or other brand name headsets. I would suggest making this ear bud more ergonomic and thenit will be perfect very compact headset. But it still sits much better that other nonbrandname headsets I bought I returned.
