Inexpensive, good performance.......2006-05-23

I have been very pleased with this durable, adjustable and comparatively-comfortable headset for my cell phone. It's not perfect, but can't be beat for the <$20 price. Some drawbacks: the thin foam ear cushion falls off after awhile and easily gets lost. However, as I kept throwing this in and out of my briefcase, I got used to having the bare plastic next to my ear. Alternately, a dab of glue will keep the foam pad from falling off. The sound level is only OK; in a noisy car environment, the phone's volume has to be pumped up (check your phone manual). The headset has no amplifier (at this low price, how could it?) so the volume depends on the phone's output. The cord has a built-in mute button and volume control in case the sound gets too loud. You can remove the tie-clip if unneeded. Earpeice and microphone clarity and sound quality are fine. The headset is adjustable for the right or left ear, and the clip which goes over and behind the ear is somewhat flexible -- the user can bend to a comfortable shape. Over the past 3 years, I've bought 4 so far -- as gifts and as a spare for myself. It's tough and durable -- a solid purchase.

Nice design, bad reception.......2005-10-14

I liked the look of this to replace my well-worn Jensen JTH940 headset. The cushioned earpiece looked comfortable enough. However, it's tough to hook the plastic ring around either ear and secure it. Once I get it on, the headset tends to hang or swings back and forth if I shake my head lightly. So if you don't move you'll be fine. The people on the other line sound very far away, and they can't understand what I'm saying on my end. I tried this both on a cordless AT&T home phone and my cell phone with the same results. It's possible it could work well with other brands but I'm returning this one.

Good design, poor volume.......2005-07-21

Bought this after my Plantronics headset broke (that had volume problems also anyway). With this headset, the person can hardly hear you and you must keep repeating yourself no matter how close your mouth is to the headset (unless its touching of course). By the way, I used it with a Panasonic phone and it was a recommended headset on Panasonic's website. Waste of money.

Volume Range is Too Limited.......2005-05-25

I was excited to begin using my new ear-clip headset but quickly disappointed when I took my first call with it. I could barely hear the caller. So I turned the volume dial ALL THE WAY up and still could barely hear the caller. I'm not hard of hearing and have never had problems with other ear pieces or headsets. But the volume range is so limited that the only way you can hear the person on the other end of the line is to press the ear piece against your ear (which defeats the whole "hands-free" benefit) and shut yourself in a closet or other soundproof room and hold your breath while they speak, to eliminate all extraneous noises. Plus, the mute button is located on the same device as the volume control so it's easy to accidentally hit mute while adjusting the volume. This product was just unacceptable. The product was sold by a company called Dynadirect which then charged me a 15% restocking fee to return it! This is my first dissatisfactory experience purchasing on Amazon.
