Nice
This is a nice lil unit. It syncs up nicely with my phone. The sound quality and clarity is fine. The price was extra nice, being that it cost 99.00.On Amazon it was less than 35 with shipping,however I understand the manufacturer has discontinued it, still a great buy.I have no trouble wearing it and I wear glasses or shades all the time, it's a comfy fit. I have no trouble answering calls with the one touch operation, or I can use hands free. I don't use the extended mic, it works well in the normal position, although it does appear to be a lil fragile, otherwise, I like it.
Perfect fit and Perfect price
Headset connected on the first try with my blackberry 7520, I had to find the code before it connected. It fits perfectly behind my ear, it doesnt feel like its going to fall off like the other headsets that just hang on to your ear. Sound quality is excellent on both sides. The earbud doesn't bother me like other people. Only downside is that I cant find a charger for the car.
If your constantly moving while on the phone, this is the ear piece for you. It's almost invisible to the naked eye, and dont forget the price, you cant bet it.
Bluetooth Connection Drops Between Calls
When you get it to work right, it actually works pretty nicely with my Siemens S66. Sound quality is good, and the folks on the other end of the conversation have no problems hearing me. I don't like how the earpiece itself fits to my ear -- it sort of hangs just outside of it, so sometimes I have to press it to my ear to block out any outside noise, like road noise when I am driving -- but, otherwise, it works fairly well, so long as I'm in the middle of a conversation.
Between calls, though . . . Well, that's another story entirely, and renders this headset virtually worthless to me.
Let's set the stage, shall we?
I'm about to hit the road, so I handshake the headset to my cell phone. It's the first time connecting, so no problems at all. I make a test call to make sure all is going well. Dial my home number, hit the button to switch to the headset, click, I hear my works like a charm. Time to hit the road!
About ten minutes later, my cell phone rings. Perfect! I tap the button on the headset. Still ringing. Hm. All right, I hit the pick-up button on the cell, then the button to switch to the earpiece. Instead, I get the speaker phone. Bweh?!
After I finish the call, I look at the cell phone screen, and see that the Bluetooth connection has dropped. Grrr . . . All right, pull over. Make sure the earpiece is on. Yep, the LED is blinking. Try turning it off, then turning it back on. Nope, still not connecting. Hrm. Maybe just needs to be resynced. Instructions say to hold the volume toggle up or down for 10 seconds until the LED starts flashing. All right, holding it down now. Five seconds, 10, 15 . . . What the heck! Let's try up. Five, 10, 15 . . . Still just doing the occasional green blink at me. Starting to tick me off now. REALLY JAM is down. Five, 10, 15 . . . Nothing. REALLY JAM it up. Five, 10 . . . Blinky! All right, set the phone to resync as well . . . There we go! We have connection again. Woohoo! Just a fluke maybe? Back on the road we go.
Out of curiosity, I check the phone screen periodically to see how the Bluetooth connection is holding up. Five minutes, still good. Ten minutes, still good. Fifteen . . .
Dropped again.
This time, I hit the pick-up button on the headset, and it actually reconnects on its own! Bluetooth icon shows full connect on my cell. Woohoo! I call my folks to give them an update on some stuff going on to test things out. 15 minute phone call, no problems.
I stop checking the phone for now, and just continue on my way. Then, I stop an hour later for a quick breakfast, and check the phone once more. Bluetooth's dropped again. This time, hitting the pick-up button doesn't bring it back, either. GRRR! Again with the Dance of the Volume Toggle, and I get it connected again.
I finally get to my destination an hour or so later, and -- imagine that! -- Bluetooth's dropped AGAIN.
Now, I used a Logitech headset flawlessly for a year until the shoddily-constructed baby boom mic stopped working. Never had connect problems with it, though. This ruddy piece of junk can't seem to go 15 minutes without timing out if there's not an active conversation happening.
In short, it's useless. Find something else that works. This ain't it.
