 awesome sound quality August 26, 2004

It's amazing the sound quality considering that when you have this thing over your ear, the "mouth" piece is a lot closer to your ear than it is to your mouth. I made a call right after I bought it and the person on the other end could not tell I was using a hands free device.
Like all Jabra hands-free ear gizmos, this one comes with a variety of gel-like ear inserts for different shaped ears and for those who want to use the gizmo on their left ears instead of the right.
My less than perfect rating is the less-than flexible adjustment for the piece that goes around the ear. It's a snug fit, to be sure, but a little too snug. After a recent lengthy phone call, my ear was so fatigued from being squeezed for so long, it gave me a headache. There is no way to take the snug tension down a notch. I have normal size ears, not circus ears, so I'm not just complaining for the sake of it.
The gel-like insert feels great - but it's the over-the-ear gizmo that is doing the pinching. It's almost like wearing 4lb clasp earrings or something. It really takes two hands to put this thing on, too.
The quality in hearing conversations is also excellent. There is the most subtle of echoes in both receiving and sending, but it is barely detectable. My phone has an excellent hands-free speaker built-in, but a hands-free device is essential when you want privacy and don't want to hold your phone up to your ear for an hour.
Works with some phones better than others. January 2, 2006

I received two of these as gifts. They both work the same, so I don't think either is defective. What I've found, though, is that when I use it with my Uniden TRU 4485 cordless phone at home, the person on the other end of the line can barely hear me. Whereas, when I use one of these headsets with my Motorola V180 cellular phone, the other party can hear me just fine. In both cases, I can hear the other party at a decent volume. The clarity of sound I hear on my end is good in both cases, as well. I've also found the headset to be lightweight, comfortable, and relatively easy to put on and take off. It also stays in my ear fairly reliably.
 Excellent Over-the-Ear Mini July 18, 2004

I've had about a dozen different headsets for cell phones in the last decade. This one is by far the best. It weighs almost nothing, the sound is clear and loud, and the microphone -- from what people tell me -- is excellent.
 Doesn't Last June 26, 2006

I bought one of these as my first hands-free and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately it stopped working after a bit over a year. I thought it was a fluke and bought a second one. That one lasted me 8 months. The company claims this is normal and won't give any kind of refund/credit/etc--they say it's not defective. If that's the case, then I strongly recommend NOT buying this unit. It should definitely last far longer than that--I only used mine approx 4 hrs/wk while they lasted and I consider that light use. Good luck.
Too much static November 22, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this item because of the high user ratings but it was ineffective when driving on the highway. I'm thinking the mouthpiece is too far away when there is heavy traffic. It worked fine for the first few days and then listeners kept telling me they couldn't hear me because of the static. I stopped using it. It was very comfortable though. So if you do rural driving primarily, maybe this does warrant a high rating.
