Summary: Good quality.
Review: Common sense (and in some enlightened places, the law) demand headsets while using the cellphone in the car. Many are flimsy and fit poorly, with questionable quality. Not so the Body Glove. With a moldable, over-the-ear piece, it is pretty comfortable. It also has 3 interchangeable boom covers (a frill) to match your decor/outfit. Sound is 5 x 5. The small in-line pod allows for answer, volume and mute functions with 1 finger. All in all, it is a winner.

Summary: Poor sound quality on both ends...
Review: I bought this device and waited 2 weeks to get it. I was extremely disappointed with the quality and am returning it back to Amazon. The person on the other line could not here me clearly. I had a cheaper one from Samsung that was much better.

Summary: great addition to any cell phone
Review: I had troubles hearing well on my cell phone, so I decided to pick up a headset. I received the earglove and tried it out right away and I could hear! This product has made using my phone much more enjoyable! The only downside with this product, as with all wired products is that you have to untangle, so in that respect I would prefer bluetooth. But for price, this product is excellent. I'm buying a second one for my wife because she loved it, too!

Caution! Your wireless bill MAY increase with this product!

Summary: Good sound quality, but not very comfortable for driving
Review: I must say, my favorite thing about this headset was the answer/end call button. This worked perfectly with my phone and I quickly grew very used to being able to connect, disconnect and do voice dials without having to fumble for my phone or take my eyes off the road to press a button or dial a number.

The sound quality is good - I could always hear the person on the other end just fine. There were a few people who consistently complained that this headset generated a lot of static (I couldn't hear anything) for them (there was no static talking directly into the handset) but most had no problems.

The 2 biggest problems I have with this are that it is a real task to put on and take off, especially when driving.
Moreover, it is not the most comfortable of headsets. It is fine for the first 10 minutes or so, but it really starts feeling uncomfortable after that. This is fine if you only wear the headst for the duration of a single call then remove it. However, if you are like me who puts on the headset, then wants to leave it on for the duration of the car ride, this really does not work.

Summary: BEWARE - Limited number of uses!
Review: I purchased this item in July and it stopped working for me the last week of September. So, it lasted only 3 months and for maybe 12 uses in that time frame. Even when it worked I had a hard time hearing anyone because the unit was so quiet and muffled. People on the other end said they could hear me fine, but it doesn't do much good if I can't hear them.
Now that it is past 30 days, I can't return this item to Amazon for a full refund. And even if I could, would it be worth spending $8 in shipping to get a refund on a $15 item? There is a reason this item is reduced from $30 to $15. Buyer beware!

Summary: Comfortable but too quiet
Review: I too had to wait a longer to recieve this item. I figured, what the heck, it's not too expensive. It's stylish and comfortable, but in the end, to darn quiet. I double checked to make sure my phone was cranked up, but this headset is just not loud enough. I couldn't see using this while driving in traffic, you wouldn't hear the other person. The packaging says it's compatible with many brands of phones including Motorala, but the end/answer button didn't work in my Motorola 120x. I'll be returning this to Amazon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comfortable and Clear
Review: Thanks to the clip, it stays on the ear, which makes it {really} hands free. It is also more comfortable than ear bud because you don't have to put rubber in your ear. The Max can be changed to fit either left or right ear. The anwser and mute switches are very convenient and you can use voice-dialing if your phone supports it.

Before I bought this one, I trusted that my Sanyo 8100 is at least above 90% in sound quality and I have always been very satisfied with it. But, noticeably, the Max can still improve sound quality a lot.

I got a Jobra(something like that) ear bud free when I bought my cellphone. It always falls off and the sound is actually worse than my cellphone alone. The Earglove gives you an almost real face-to-face conversation in which you can shout and swiper, and the comfortability and clearity justify it well for the price.
