Now, I know I'm probably just lucky or it's small miracle or maybe the fact that it immediately went into a dryer at high temperature saved this but I still think its a testament to quality of this headset. Even before I put this through the ringer, I was impressed with this Bluetooth.
Some of the things I like about it:
Fits comfortably in the ear. Has a unique and solid rubber ear insert that does not slip off because it's permanently attached. I hate when those rubber tips fall off and get lost
Has a loud enough volume that I can hear the call. Turned all the way up is loud but not ear piercing. Perfect volume for me.
Is not too big and bulky and rides in the ear nicely. Sometimes I forget I have it on. I hate those headsets that are long and make you look like a cyborg.
It charges quickly and holds a charge for up to 11 hours talk time. With normal use, I would only recharge this every other day or every third day. I'm in sales and am on my phone several hours each day.
There is an on/off sliding switch that I like because it won't accidentally call someone when floating in my pocket.
It has an app that links with your phone to show battery percentage and a GPS locator (when the unit is turned on) to help if you lose it or drop it between the car seats. It also has a feature where you can have it send a signal from the earpiece to locate it. It's not super loud but you could hear it if you are within 5-10 ft in a quiet room. This is handy if lost within your car or if it fell between the sofa cushions or on your desk amongst the mess or in a drawer, etc.
The sound is not "music headset quality" but for voices, it is crystal clear and rarely drops out unless you get over 30 to 40 feet from your phone. I have not heard any complaints from anyone that says I sound like I'm underwater or in a trash can.
The only thing I didn't like about this headset was the clear plastic "over the ear" holder. It just never fit me right and after a short time became very uncomfortable on the top and back side of my ear. It is also non-removable without breaking it because it is held on by a swivel and locking metal piece. I use to wear mine off out in front of the headset which looked really weird but the earpiece fits comfortably without the use of the over the ear piece. By the way, that piece broke off when I ran it through the washer. I do not recommend the washer dryer method to remove the ear piece.
Overall: Best Bluetooth I have ever owned and I have had some up to $100. For the money, this can't be beat.
