Customer Reviews:
- Much better than advertised
I have been purchasing products from Amazon for a number of years. Because this item so exceeded my expectations, this is the first time I've felt compelled to submit a review. The headset is small and compact enough to fit in the soft case provided. The case, with the headset inside, is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. The clarity of the device on both ends when engaged in conversation is much better than anticipated and quite frankly I don't see how it could be any better. If you follow the directions on how to mount the headset you will find it to be comfortable - not annoying. The device comes with more accessories than you probably will ever use. About the only accessory it doesn't come with is a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter (I purchased it separately so that I could use the device on my Blackberry Curve). Well worth the price. - pretty terrible
pretty dim volume -- seemed broken. that bad.
better products:
Plantronics MX500i 3-in-1 Headset -- so clear! great listening and talking
Jabra C510 Corded Headset - nice n loud -- a touch muffled but nice volume.
oh: and ANTonline is simply the worst company I've ever dealt with on amazon
slow/ restocking fees/ rude/ aggro emails. DO NOT BOTHER - Not iPhone compatible w/o adapter
PROS:
Perfectly fine headset
Seems well-made
CONS:
Requires an adapter to work with the iPhone -- and not just any 2.5mm-3.5mm adapter will work, so be sure to test it out!
Volume is a little lower than others
- acceptabe
some people say that i sound clear others complain. so i would say that it wasnt what i expected. no better that than 7 8 dollar units - Very good when it sits right
The sound of this headset is excellent, as advertised. The trouble is in getting it to stay in place when I move around. I'm not talking about playing tennis here, I'm talking about driving the car, and having the boom slowly swing downwards away from my mouth. The ear plug stays in place, and I can still hear, but the boom swings downward from in front of my mouth (pulled by gravity) and then the person I'm talking with can't hear me so well. The only thing that works for me in this regard is Plantronics, the one the hooks behind your ear lobe, but that one is not noise-canceling, so I can't hear as well when the wind noise gets high in the car. The ones that hook over my ear hurt me, and the ones that just plug into my ear usually fall out. This one is better in that it stays in my ear, but having the boom pivot away from my mouth is a real problem. I tried bending it so it hangs down from my ear and then swings forward to my mouth, but the center of gravity still tries to swing to the lowest point, so I'd not a boom twice as long as this for that plan to really work.
