Reviewer: A. Daye,

Great product and great price. I went to [...] to see what would be the best bluetooth and they highly recommended this product. I was using a Jawbone II and have put it away, because this product gives me better service.

I have recommended this product to others and they have purchased one from this vendor.

paired great with my BB Curve

At first I couldn't get it to pair using the enclosed users manual, so it referred you to their website. Once I followed the steps on the website for my specific phone, it only took less than a minute and works just great! It's a deal, I can't afford those fancy Jawbone headsets. You can pair it with multiple devices very easily as well. Just toggle and go.

Does a lot in a very small package

This is the only in-the-ear I've ever come across that stays put for me. It's strikingly tiny and lightweight. I have to echo what I've heard regarding the fact that it doesn't quite feel like it will stay in but somehow it just does. That minimal footprint translates into a fair amount of comfort as well. The battery life and sound quality for calls is good but not great. More than adequate for me and I should add that the range is outstanding. The ability to play music is nice and I find myself actually using it more than I thought I would. Music sound quality was a pleasant surprise. The buttons have received some criticism, but on a headset of this size I can't see any place to put them that would be better. It's so small and light that you're not going to be pushing a button anywhere that isn't going to move it. The fact that you have to push in towards your ear a little doesn't bother me and other than that the action is light and positive. This is not a Voyager 510, nor does it try to be. If you are looking for a tiny headset that works very well I don't think you're going to beat this one - especially at the price.

4 months and it gradually has stopped working

Review Date: November 8, 2009

Reviewer: R. Goyal, Dearborn, MI

At first it worked perfectly. Then the double tap to redial stopped working as well as press and hold in order to activate the voice dial. Or actually the voice dial stopped first I think then the redial stopped working later. That was something I could live without though, but now in the fourth month, the answer button doesn't answer the call at all. It makes the beep sound but the call doesn't come over to the headset. I have to answer the call on the phone itself, so all it's good for now is to listed to audio. I had just bought some eargels for it which were cheap so its not a big deal. But the little thing just doesn't seem like its well made, and I don't know if I can depend on another Jabra headset. Also they have nothing on the website to troubleshoot the headset not answering calls!!! Obviously I cannot recommend this product at this point. Before this issues it worked good, but you can usually hear better than the person you are speaking with on the phone can hear you.

UPDATE: I reset it according to their directions (which I didn't understand at first because I never even knew there were two volume buttons on top - I never read the manual of course) and it fixed ALL THREE problems! Updated to four stars only because of the low mic but that is to be expected really with how small it is.

Small and awesome

I needed a lightweight device to use while driving. This bluetooth has met all my expectations. It is very small (maybe 2 inches), fits comfortably in the ear and everyone who I speak to, hears me great. I use it mostly in car and occasionally when walking in the street. If your looking for an affordable and high quality product this might be it.
