Simply amazing bit of kit At first glance you would be excused from thinking that this was nothing more than a 21st century hearing aid, you think to yourself "how on earth is this thing going to fit in my ear, and what is that odd looking tadpole thing all about?"
Well, fit it does, and it also works very well. Follow the instructions provided and you will have no problems, the unit is a little "fiddly" to use at first being so small, but it does not take long to get used to.
One thing, the tiny little hole in the "tadpole" rubber spring can easily get blocked by earwax, so keep an eye on that. Volume levels are good, audio reports on both send and receive are excellent, it paired to my HTC touch very easily and has worked flawlessly so far. The charger pack seems like a gimmick at first resembling a large black lighter but it does work. Overall a very discrete earpiece, it does not make you look like an extra from Star Trek and in my opinion should have come first in the gadget show headset test.

Neat gismo but not without issues This is a neat, small bluetooth device that doesn't cover your face, or look like something from a low budget scifi movie. It operates well enough, although I did have some initial problems charging the earpiece with the charging unit. Despite following the instructions it would not turn on until it had been charged for about two days - just before I was about to arrange a return. It also does not perform redial which had worked with my previous bluetooth on the same mobile, although it claims to be able to do this in the instructions. Having said all that, and if you like gadgets, this is a good addition to your collection.
