Been using this for about 3-4 weeks now and I have to agree with the above reviews. Small, light and well built. Unlike other hands free kits I've used in the past this one you can actually forget about as it's so light and comfortable.
All is not perfect as the USB is one of the slime-line ports (similar to what you find on WD Passports) rather than the standard micro-USB which is found my phone so an extra cable to carry if I need to charge the headset. The other niggle is that the sound can be faint in loud environments, even when using alternative ear adaptors. However both of these are minor issues in what is probably one of their best headsets to date.
I've also used this to transcribe notes to my phone/laptop, and the quality is excellent when I play these files back so I know people will be able hear me on the other end. In fact many don't realise I'm on a mobile phone!

Excellent Headset
A superior quality product and very comfortable to wear. I can wear it all day with no discomfort. The choice of fitting options that come with it are excellent. I use it with both my phone and ipod (with a bluetooth adapter) connected simultaneously I listen to ipod radio podcasts and also music, whilst walking the dog. It is of course only mono for the ipod, but then with an ear free I can cross busy roads and still be aware of my surroundings! The sound quality is good. If a phone call comes in, the headset automatically connects to the call. When the call is finished it reverts back to the ipod. I like the fact it has definite easily found buttons for switching on, volume and answering the phone. The noise cancelling feature works very well. I tested it by calling my home answer phone and stood next to a radio on medium volume. This was picked up well on the answer phone. When I spoke the radio could barely be heard in the background and my voice was very clear. Overall this one of the best headsets on the market. Highly recommend!
