It's OK but it keeps falling out of my ear--maybe I have strange anatomy. Will serve the purpose
Great Headset! [Posted on 2008-06-28]
In CA a new hands free law is going into effect. Between myself, my wife, our three kids, and a vanpool we needed to find a good inexpensive headset to keep in our cars. The Jabra C250 really fits the bill. We have used them on a Motorola, Samsung, 2 different LGs and 2 different Sanyos without a problem.
I would rate the sound quality as excellent and the microphone quality as good. You do have to talk clearly and with a little volume, but overall everyone can hear and understand, at least clarity-wise, what we are saying.
The headsets are comfortable and although they feel a little loose, we have not had a problem with any of them falling off. Overall an excellent product.
The best part is for $11 a piece, including shipping and a small camera case, everyone has a quality headset in his or her car that never needs charging so it is always ready to go.
Great headset!

I like. [Posted on 2008-07-03]
Great volume on both ends, this unit is also comfortable as promised. The price was very reasonable and shipping was fast. I would definitely buy from them again with no reservations.
When it works it works, when it dies it dies! [Posted on 2008-07-15]
I have owned three of these. When they worked, they were great. Then, about a year from purchase, they just die. I liked this Jabra so well I bought it again, and again. But no more.
My rating is based on my frustration of the third one dying.
Surely a headset should last more than a year!
Now I'm trying the Plattronics 510. I hope it lives up to its Amazon reviews.
Good headset for those who don't want Bluetooth [Posted on 2008-08-14]
This is a good product for a 2.5mm headset. The boom is, of course, short, reaching about an inch or two from your ear. It's a directional mike, so it doesn't have to be in front of your mouth. This does create some downsides, as others have said, directional mikes tend to pick up more road noise than you'd like. This is simply unavoidable with any mike, corded or Bluetooth.
On the plus side, this is a very comfortable mike. The flexible ear piece gives enough for a comfortable fit without squeezing your ear, and (especially when using the clip on the cord) it will stay in and on your ear quite well. This product comes with 4 gel ear-canal pieces. They're easy to change and allow the mike to project sound directly into your ear canal, rather than having to blast it through a small speaker. This allows you to listen in the car without having to jack up the volume and create feedback echoes as the headset picks up the sound through the mike again.
The only two things I can gripe about this headset are the lack of volume control and some minor functions with my phone. This headset doesn't have it's own earpiece volume control. You have to turn the volume down on your phone, and even then (on my cell) it's still pretty damn loud. The other issue with it, though minor, is that it acts a little strangely with my phone (Motorola W510, I believe, using a 2.5mm to mini-USB adapter). After I hang up with a person the mike feeds the sound that it picks up into my earpiece, giving me a sort of echo in my right ear for about 5 seconds.
Bottom line: This is a $5 headset. This is a great quality headset that is rapidly becoming obsolete, so the price dropped like a rock. Go buy a $1 2.5mm to mini-USB adapter, and you've got a great headset that will work on virtually any model phone (except perhaps for some Nokias, I hear). At $5 you can hardly go wrong.
