Rating: Summary: Met a sudden death Review: Microphone on my headset just died without any warning - after about 10 months of light use - considering I paid $30+ for it originally, that's a bit early.
The good:
I like wind-up idea, and the gel earpiece feel just right in my ear.
The bad:
I hate how wind-up started tangling wires after about 3-4 months and how the mike just died.
Rating: Summary: Great space saver, but I miss the button Review: New phone = new headset so I thought I'd go with the winder, since the cord frequently gets caught in my car. This product is great - it's not good for noisy places, but what headset is? I've never had anyone ask me to repeat things or complain about sound quality, so I'm very happy with it. Users of older Jabra models will appreciate the locking eargels.Pros: Cord winder keeps cord untangled when stored Locking eargels Cons: No answer/end button on cord
Rating: Summary: I have strange ears... Review: Since I have odd ears, the options with the eargels seemed perfect for me. I haven't had any problems with the retraction feature or with sound quality. I would recommend the WindUP with no hesitation.
Rating: Summary: Seems to work as advertised Review: The Jabra Earset Windup came with my LG VX4600 cellular phone. The earpiece seems well designed and comfortable. I have no trouble with the windup mechanism; it appears to work as advertised, at least in the short run. I don't understand the complaints the other reviewers have unless the mechanism wears out quickly. The microphone seems to work well over the range of voice frequencies. I recorded a voice mail message while escalating the volume of my voice. By the count of seven I was almost yelling. When I played back the message, the volume was remarkably even, so at least the microphone was sensitive and didn't distort at high volume. I don't know how well it would work in a noisy environment such as a moving car. For some people this is the primary application for their headset, so they need to be sure it will work under high ambient noise. However, I don't think drivers should use cell phones even with headsets. Under some traffic conditions this could be extremely dangerous because any two-way conversation (even with a passenger) impairs your ability to concentrate.
