Amazon.com Product Description

Consolidate your audio listening and phone call handling into a single headset with a hybrid headset/headphones unit from Palm. An omni-directional electret condenser microphone lets you speak clearly while the 96dB dynamic receiver helps you hear crystal clear audio from your favorite tunes -- or your phone calls -- in noisy rooms. Plus, the durable, break-resistant cord is designed to last. Meanwhile, a handy push-to-answer button right on the cord means you won't even have to touch the phone to answer a call.

3.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable set of headphones and a reason why one cord is longer, November 29, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Palm Stereo Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The cord attached to the right earpiece is longer because it is actually meant to rest against the back of your neck.

This insures that they will not fall to the ground when you take them out of your ears. Instead they will simply hang from your neck.

(Yes I used a kiddy review, but I just HAD to explain this. ;) )

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Palm Stereo Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This earpiece set does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do. I have read the other reviews, and would like to discuss some of the bad reviews that almost stopped me from placing my order.
1. "The jack/ plug us not constructed correctly, or may need shaving/cutting to fit"-
Maybe this is an issue for older model Palm handsets, but I have the Centro, and the plug fits snug and secure with no need for fabrication.
2. "Lack of sound quality"-
They sound as great as any other "ear-bud" style earpieces. On a scale of 1-10, I give em a solid 8. Not to mention, the cord is plenty long and DOES include an in-line lapel clip. Any audiophile junkies out there would probably never consider using the Palm as a music device...and if they did, most customers would invest in serious earphones with an adapter.
3. "The earbuds are too big/uncomfortable or too small/ fall out during activity"-
Again, I disagree totally. The earpiece buds are the same STANDARD size as every other earbud on the market today. To keep them from falling out, add the included foam pads.
4. "One cord is longer than the other"-
They were designed this way, so that the mic is close to your mouth. The other designs out there with equal wire lengths require you to lapel clip the mic on your collar. I've even seen people hold the mic with their hands close to their mouth. The Palm earpiece prevents the mic from not being too far from your mouth.
5. "Cheap plastic/ poor construction"-
This earpiece set is 100% OEM genuine Palm branded. This is not a "cheap knock-off. I plan to use them almost daily, so at this price, if they last a year...it was a GREAT investment.


This is how I use my earpiece. Like I said before, I have a Centro. I needed the stereo earpiece because I use my handheld to access my Slingbox. (This is a box that you hook up to your cable/ satellite box, which allows remote TV viewing on my handheld or laptop) I do this because I go the the gym 5 days a week, and I can't stand that 5 out of 5 TV's are nothing but news or junk. So to make a long story short... I watch my favorite program on my palm, in clear stereo, for an hour a day on the treadmill, elliptical, or cycle machine.

In summary:
This earpiece is exactly what you need to enjoy stereo sound on your Palm device. I highly recommend you adding them to your cart now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does just the trick to maximize use of the Treo 650, April 15, 2005

This review is from: Palm Stereo Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

If you want to listen to music or need to focus on a phone call (especially a conf call) on your Treo 650, the Hybrid Headset is for you. Even the noisiest airport can be conquered! :-) For casual calls, I still use the 1 ear piece because it's easier to attach. What I'm looking for now is an adapter to enable use of the Hybrid Headset with my laptop for VOIP calls with Skype.
