Great Headset, Loud Speaker, and Excellent Microphone I have a hard time using Bluetooth headsets for two main reasons: either people can't hear me (I'm soft spoken and my car has a lot of background noise) or I can't hear them (my phone's audio volume is poor). Standard Bluetooth ear pieces don't really work for me, and as I travel frequently in states that now prohibit handset use while driving, I needed a sensible solution. Wired over-the-head versions of this didn't work well with my phone due to the volume issue. I've only had this for a few days now and it's been a slam-dunk. People have no trouble hearing me, and I even have to turn the volume *down* for a change to hear them. Pairing took a moment or two, but once I was up and running it's been a pleasure to use. I can even use my phone's voice activation system properly now for short names. There's a short list of cons to this product (which I'm happy to write-off as nuisances). When it goes into power saving mode, I haven't noticed a tone or other clear notification yet. However, all I need to do is tap the action button and it connects back to my phone. The headset isn't always that comfortable if I'm wearing a hat, but it is comfortable to the point I've forgotten I had it on. If you've had trouble with 'stylish' Bluetooth ear pieces, this is a great alternative that has served me well. There's no substitute for having a mic that actually sits next to your mouth. Awesome Headset! After finally upgrading to a Bluetooth phone, I investigated all of those chic over-the-ear devices. All of the professional tech reviews (on the pro Web sites) discussed incremental advances in the capabilities of the sets to filter out noise, particularly in vehicles. Overwhelmingly, the pro's said over-the-ear devices are improving, but all gave them low marks for vehicle noise. Perhaps they're great if you're not in a vehicle. So, I decided to seek an "old-fashioned" over-the-head model. I read the reviews for various models on Amazon, including the December 7, 2009 review by Nathaniel for this Emerson headset. (I'm forever grateful, Nathaniel!) By the time the Emerson headset arrived, my husband needed one because his old (non-Bluetooth) cell phone had suddenly perished. Unlike me, my husband is not a tech geek and he LOVES this headset - easy to use, clear, excellent noise filtration for the user and the person they've called. Thus, I'm ordering another one, today, so I can have one just like I'd planned!
