Good sound, easy to use [Posted on 2008-05-27] I love using this headset with my RAZR V3m cell phone. You will need a mini-stereo-mic (2.5mm) to mini-USB adapter, to interface it with the cell phone. Great for hands-free environment/requirements.
If sound quality matters, skip this product [Posted on 2008-05-27] I've tried every kind of earpiece for my Samsung phone, and so far, have not found one that has the sound quality I'm looking for. The Plantronics was another disappointment. I ordered it because of the numerous recommendations on this site, but the sound quality was inadequate. It is comfortable, lightweight, and the microphone does a good job of picking up the user's voice, but the person on the other end sounds like they are speaking through a pillow. I know it wasn't a defective unit, because I ordered three (two for backup), and tried them all. As a side note, the earpiece that came with the phone, the earbud type (similar to ipod headphones), has excellent (stereo) sound quality, a great microphone, and is very comfortable. The only issue I have with that setup is that there are two, long wires that dangle from my ears, and that the microphone is on the cord and not a boom, which gets caught on my shirt or jacket collar. I'm sticking to it anyway.
Good sound quality and comfort, durability is questionable [Posted on 2008-06-08] I purchased this headset in August 2007 and have used them fairly frequently, but they just died on me this month (June 2008; 10 months later). The sounds quality was great, comfort was generally fine, although personally I wasn't a fan of the part that goes around your ear lobe (it would hurt me after a while), but it's necessary for them to stay in well. Now when I put them in, the phone knows a headset is in, but the sound doesn't work. If I align it at a certain angle and then push down on the curved wire near the base, I can get some sound to permeate, but it's temporary. Looking at these recommendations, I see the long-lasting nature of this item is questionable. However, for under $10, 10 months of a functioning headset isn't bad. If these had cost me $45, I would have been angry. Note that this is not a Plantronics headset despite the title (at least from the vendor that I chose). You can tell because there are no markings or packaging. I have since bought the MX256-X1, which clearly IS made by Plantronics. We'll see how they compare. Overall, this a decent headset with great quality, comfort is generally okay, and durability is questionable at best.
Great Product Thus far. [Posted on 2008-06-19] Surprisingly comfy from the shape of the ear piece. It goes around your ear a funky way, but it is very wearable! PLUS it doesn't bother my ear since I have glasses. I like Plantronics
Why spend $30 when this works just as well. [Posted on 2008-07-11] This works just as well as the last one I had bought for $30 at Best Buy. Clear sound for both ends of the conversation & easy to put on .
