Rating: Summary: Not a Poor Design Review: ... The headset works just great and is one of the best items that Nokia has come up with. Potential buyers of this product should know that it is a good purchase to make. I've had mine for over a year and have never had to replace it. Perhaps it is David or the anonymous "wireless customer's" handling of the equipment that is causing it to continuosly break. I use the headset constantly during a normal work week and sporadically on the weekends. I use it sitting down, walking around outside and driving in my car. I've never experienced ear soreness from the headset where I have felt the need to move the ear bud from one ear to the other. The reception that I receive and the feedback from those I am speaking with have been positive. Granted, the cloth covering for the ear bud did fall off but that was after many months of continued use and from rolling around in my tote. I located the cloth covering and put it back on the ear piece. No problem. But, even without the covering, the ear bud does not pose any discomfort whatsoever. I continue to use the earbud headset as it has added comfort and convenience to my life. I recommend this product to anyone who is interested.
Rating: Summary: All in all quite satisfied Review: After a year and a half, I am only on my second earbud. This has proved an indispensable accessory for me. My only real complaint about it is that the ringer tone does not sound in my ear. If my phone is clipped to my belt in a noisy environment such as a hockey game, I cannot hear it ring. All I get is a faint click in the earpiece, which could also be caused by the low-battery notification. In the car, however, it is great. I use it with the Nokia car holster and I find the combination quite convenient. The plug on this is prone to damage easily, but my current one continues to work adequately despite a slight amount of damage. I could also wish to boost the sound level a little, but the people I am talking to have no trouble hearing me. It took me a little while to get used to the microphone working fine despite being well away from my mouth.
Rating: Summary: Not compatible with Nokia 6100 Review: Does not cut down on ambient noise, and makes my voice smaller on the phone. I found it clumsy to try and find earpiece and manage the wire. I think it would be better to have one of those boom-type microphones that gets closer to my mouth.

Rating: Summary: Way over-priced - worth $9.95 tops Review: Earphone sets like these sell in Taiwan for $7. Why would anyone pay $29.95 for one?
Rating: Summary: Frustrating Review: I am looking for my 3rd hands free unit after my first two of these from nokia shorted out or broke. When they work, it's great, but they don't seem to last too long. Any others that work with 6100 Series that actually do work for more than a few months??? Would love to know.

Rating: Summary: great item...when it works Review: I bought three of these when they first came out for me and two associates. Within 2 weeks, mine stopped working and shortly thereafter so did the other two. I have since replaced 6 of them and my associates replaced them twice and gave up. The little prongs on the headset that insert into the phone keep breaking. For the limited time the product was functioning I loved it. True the foam earpiece fell off immediately, but even without it, I found it comfortable. I only wish the darn thing would work for more than a few days. I have since given up replacing them and I wish they would improve the design because they are very convenient. One last thing, because it is so small people who are not familiar with headsets are going to look at you like you've gone nuts...talking to yourself when actually the phone is being used.
Rating: Summary: now they tell me... Review: I had a time getting used to the earpiece but it did help me use the phone safely in the car. But the jack used to connect it to the phone is flimsy. The caveat mentioned in the description came true for me - the prongs on each side of the jack just snapped off one day. Now I can't plug it in the phone. I wish someone had warned me. I would have been more careful.
Rating: Summary: Cheap... and it works! Review: I was doubtful about this gizmo when I first saw it. An in-the-ear phone and a mike dangling far away from the mouth? Bu the AT&T phone center salesman was wearing one, and he seemed to like it. So I bought one.And son of a gun- it DOES work. I've used it driving, sitting in front of a computer and paddling in a kayak, with the phone safely tucked in a waterproof bag- and I have never had a complaint about audio quality from the caller at the other end. It's just about unbreakable. There's no mike boom or headband, or any large plastic parts. Just an earplug, a mike, a clip, and the wire connecting them. Simple, elegant and functional.
