Product Description
Amazon.com
The Jabra EarSet lets you enjoy hands-free conversations wherever you are. Its funky little earphone sits fairly securely in your outer ear without any external clip, leaving your hands free for more useful tasks.
The Jabra's design is unique in that it does not have a separate microphone. The mike is built into the earpiece, and it plugs into your phone's 2.5-millimeter headset jack. The long cord lets you stow your phone in a pocket or on the passenger seat.
Since the Jabra EarSet lacks a separate microphone, call quality tends to suffer a bit. When walking down a busy street, it picked up traffic sounds and background noise. But if you plan on using the EarSet in quieter environments, you shouldn't have any problems.

I was under the impression that the ear piece picked up your voice from your ear canal so that your speeach would be crystal clear to the person on the other end. However, this isnt the case. The mic is in the piece that sticks out of your ear. This is only a problem in loud environments where the mic tends to pick up a lot of background noise. I drive a sports car that has a relativly loud cockpit and tend to get complaints from the people I speak to. When I drive the wife's sedan its no problem at all.
As for quality, it is very well put together and I haven't had any issues. The brightly colored silicone ear pieces let you select from small, medium and large for both right and left ears. I leave mine in the car a lot and the colors started to fade and popped off of the earphone more easily. The rubber ear piece can be easy to loose.
Sound quality is very good as long as the rubber piece is correctly seated on the earphone. It also has to be placed in your ear correctly or the sound is a bit muffled.
I had tried other over the ear boom mics and those "bug on a wire" style. They all present compromises on quality and clarity. This has been the best trade off I have tried.
Overall a high quality hands-free that looks cool to.
I turned it in every conceivable orientation and never found a good fit to my ear. (In case you ask, I would describe my ears as "average" or "normal"). A diagram on the packaging would have saved much frustration on that score.
But NOTHING will compensate for the fact that the built-in microphone function is utterly useless. I thought maybe it was just me - but two friends also got suckered into buying one of these, and their cellphone calls went from reasonable to completely unintelligible.
Do not, repeat NOT, buy this product.
Technology-wise, it's impressive how well the EarSet works, but for urbanites on the go, there are better products out there.
