Nice Product
I have been using this headset with my Motorola A630 and I have to admit, it is quite a useful product to own especially if you talk for longer periods of time over the phone.
The clarity is very good. There are some disturbances which I do experience rarely. Not sure why but this does not happen very often.
Although initially one may face probelems trying to fix the headset on the ear, once you get the hang of it, it rests comfortably on your ear.
I have not used any other bluetooth headphone but am very satisfied with this one.
Works nice but ...
I bought this headset based on the reviews I saw here. I'm using this with my Treo 650 and liked this a lot, initially. I've been using it for a month now, and I started noticing some things that I don't like.
When I first got this, the battery lasted about two days, which is very acceptable for me. However, battery life has been very sporadic for me recently. Sometimes it can go more than one day, and sometimes it dies just after one hour of talking immediately after unplugging it from the charger.
I hadn't noticed noise at first, but I sometimes get spurts of static. The static gets so bad that I can't hear the conversation. It doesn't happen that often. I'm guessing my wireless network signals might interfere.
I started playing around with it more to find other features. I found nothing. I tried to set up voice dialing, but it's not available for this. I tried to do redial to initiate outgoing calls, but that isn't available either.
I'm shopping for another bluetooth headset, again. I'll continue to use this until I find a replacement, but I hope I find something better soon.
Great product!
Because I spent a lot of time on the phone, I am very particular about BT headsets. I have tried every brand of BT headset you can imagine, I mean EVERY brand. I was so frustrated to a point I was ready to go back to wired headset until I ran into this little guy. This is by far the best one, hands down. My most miserable experence was with Jabra and Motorola. I had a lot of connection and audio quality issues with those brands.
BT headset designers seem to favor visual appeal rather than performance. I don't understand by most headsets on the market are short and stubby, in which the microphone is right next to your ear instead of your month. Having microphone that far away results in having to turn up the microphone sensitivity, which cause the headset to pick up everything including background noise. Lack of an effective noise-filtering system such as the one in this Logitech headset, you end up with wind noise, car noise, AC noise, every kind of noise but your voice. In additional, the close promixity between the speak and microphone creates a feedback loop for a nice serving of constant echoing. I lost count of the occasions when my friends and coworkers on the other end of the phone tell me to "get off your crappy Jabra BT headset" or "take me off your Motorola BT headset". I am amazed that people on the other end can easily tell it's a Jabra BT headset because the horrid sound quality.
Onto this gem, the sound quality is amazing, by far the best of the bunch. The WindStop system really does work. Together with the farther extending microphone, this unit produce the best sound both incoming and outgoing. I know many users complaining about the fit, but it's really a fault of the user. As one reviewer pointed out, there is a "correct" way to wear this, and I think it provides an excellent fit and comfort.
I can't speak for all, but I personally don't wear a BT headset as a fashion statement. I use it as a mean for convenience and safety, so sound quality and fit are top factors for my consideration. On that note, this is a clear winner. I wish product managers and designers at Motorola and particularly Jabra take note of that. Jabra (250 and 250v models) being the worst with it's behind the ear design and a heavy-trigger button is really a very lousy product in terms of usability and sound quality. I am sure customers that raved about Jabra would rank this unit out of this world!
