Rating: Summary: Works Perfectly Review: (This review is based on use with the Nokia 8260)About the best thing I can say about this hands-free set is that no one can tell I'm using it (or at least when I switch to it, I've never gotten a comment from the person on the other end that I suddenly sound different). Reception through the ear bud is equally clear (you'll probably want to turn the volume down on your phone when using it). I don't have much more to say except that I'm very satisfied with the product. I use my cell phone as my primary phone, so for long conversations either walking or sitting it's been a great relief.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: After I lost my Nokia Earbud Headset for my Nokia 8890, I purchased the Jabra EarBoom and tried it out for a few days before returning it. The Nokia Earbud Headset is a lot better...in fact it's awesome. I don't have any problems with it. Compared to the Jabra, it is much better.
Rating: Summary: Handy little gizmo, but with drawbacks - and Very BREAKABLE Review: As a useful device, what I like most about this is its convenience, and the fact that you can carry it in your pocket. Advantages: 1. It's truly hands free because you can both answer your calls and hang up on them without having to find the cell phone it's attached to. 2. Not quite as breakable as other similar products I've used, but it will still come to pieces within 2-3 months no matter what you do. The three biggest drawbacks are: 1. (And this one is the worst) If there's any background noise, or if you're outdoors and there's even the slightest puff of wind, then people will have a very difficult time hearing you, and you'll get a lot of annoyed requests to talk without it (to put it mildly) 2. It does hurt the ear after a while, especially if you wear glasses of any kind, because of the added pressure. 3. It slips out of your ear easily 4. Despite advantage #2, above, it will eventually break if you're not very careful with it. I need to keep it attached while I'm rushing around, and sometimes I can't take the time to put it away as carefully as I should, and have to shove it into my pocket or untangle it from something. As a result, its life expectancy is usually under two months for people who use it like I do.
Rating: Summary: Ok Review: Damn thing won't stay in your ear. Makes it difficult to carry on a conversation when it keeps falling out of the ear. Maybe if I put a magnet or tape to my head it might be better. A complete waste of money!
Rating: Summary: doesn't work Review: doesn't work with my kyocera. as for the rat thing above, yeah, if i was a rat I guess I'd be using my headset alot, too.
Rating: Summary: Pretty nice, and better than the others.... Review: I bought this earbud as an upgrade to the earbud which came with my AT&T,Nokia 8260. I also bought the Jabra earbud - to compare both. This earbud works quite well. Compared to the Jabra the sound quality going into as well as coming out of this earbud is a little less clear. However, the major advantage of this earbud is that it doesn't pick up as much annoying wind noise or any of that rustling clothes noise. This earbud is sensitive enough but, not to sensitive to be obnoxious. I kept this earbud - It works well enough and is comfortable enough. The other though it comes with an assortment of ear "gels",is just to complicated and surprisingly uncomfortable for it own good.
Rating: Summary: Great Sound Quality Headset!!! Review: I got this headset as part of the package for my 8260 and I'm definitely happy.It's a necessary product when driving especially with easy to use hang-up boutton on the mic.It's very light and comfortable.The earphone has good sound output, and the mic picks up sound very well.....
Rating: Summary: Great product! Review: I just ordered two headsets because the one I got with my phone stopped working. Mind you, I didn't treat it very well and even after stepping on the ear piece twice (and keeping it held together with a rubber band) the thing was still working! It was only after repeated abuse that it finally fell apart. I figure that with two I'll cut down on having to transport it to and fro, as much. This is my first time ordering from Amazon and I'm hoping I won't be disappointed. Oh, and in response to the review dated 2-27-03 (cell phones and brain cancer in mice), the two studies mentioned have not been corroborated by any future studies conducted on the matter. See the FDA's reports (www.fda.gov/cellphones) and extensive international research compiled in a report by the Medical College of Wisconsin (www.mcw.edu).
Rating: Summary: Outstanding!!!! Review: I really like the convenience (very light and folds up easily) and quality of this earbud. The only drawback is that it sometimes makes an annoying buzzing sound. This can be mitigated by twisting the plug around (go figure) or moving the phone around -- kind of like trying to pick up a radio station. It's not as inconvenient as it sounds, but it's something to be aware of. The volume and quality of sound (when there's no buzzing) is really impressive, and the microphone picks up my voice very well even when I'm driving and twisting my head around to keep an eye on traffic.
