I mostly use it inside a vehicle or building so I can't speak to its performance outside or in the wind. I can hear and be heard. I did a swap and felt the silicon earpiece significantly enhanced the fit. With over 3,000 other reviews, I'm not sure I can add much. The price was attractive and so far I have no complaints. I would have given this 5 stars had Plantronics included the same silicon earpieces that my Plantronics headset at work has.
As long as there is not a lot of outside noise (e.g., driving) it works great. And, it picks up extraneous noises which sometimes is very annoying to the other person on the phone. It works OK. But, it fits a bit loose so I sometimes have to press it up to my ear so I can hear clearly.
I thought that the battery life was pretty impressive, although this is my first bluetooth, so don't really have much to compare it to; but I definitely charge it a lot less than I do my phone. A downside with this design is that it's awkward if you wear glasses/sunglasses.
For the price, this is a solid purchase, and would definitely purchase again. The on/off button feels a little cheap--I fear it will get broken or stuck one day (hopefully in the on position), but so far it hasn't let me down.
Another downside is the placement of the on/off and volume controls--I have to completely take it off to adjust (although controlling volume through the cellphone does the trick). But this could well be the phone's fault, not the headset's.
I've used this on a Motorola RAZR, Motorola KRZR, and my MacBook--all worked just fine. It's pretty comfortable to wear, and feels secure on my ear, even while sprinting to catch a train.
Also, about 10% of the time, my phone doesn't recognize the headset after turning off/on, and I have to reset and re-sync (which takes about a minute, and you can't do while talking on the phone).
I based my purchase from Consumer Reports reviews and this being the highest rated for eliminating background noise etc. Occasionally I get some static but it has been limited so far. This is my first bluetooth headset. I'm pleased over the first month of use. I think it has to do with interference between my phone and earpiece but haven't concluded exactly how to eliminate those events.
Great bluetooth.good sound and comfortable to wear.I'm on my 4th one.it has one downfall.after charging it multiple times, the small contact pin in the base breaks off making it unchargeable.but I keep buying them.wish they would fix the charging problem.
