Summary: Jabra EarSet for Nokia phones
Review: And comfortable too. I like it so much that I don't want to use the phone without my Jabra, even when I am not in the car. I tried several other headsets, but the Jabra EarSet was the only one I tried that sounds loud enough to hear when I am driving. And, everyone I call from the road says that I sound very clear. The EarGel can come off easily, especially when I toss it on the seat and throw a bunch of junk on top of it, so now I keep it in my center console.

Summary: Buzzes like a bumblebee on steroids
Review: CAVEAT EMPTOR - This thing buzzes like a bumblebee on steroids. Not even worth 10 bucks, let alone the 40 I paid at Radio Shed.

I would only use this thing under the following 2 conditions:
1) it was given to me free; and
2) it was the only earset available (i.e., avoiding brain tumors).

Otherwise, AVOID THIS EARSET AT ALL COSTS!!!

Summary: Not bad....not bad at all....

Summary: Didn't work for me
Review: Fiddle as I may, the other party cannot seem to hear me clearly. I own other Jabra earsets, but this one just didn't work. ...

Summary: Great Ear Piece
Review: Great price, and works well. At first I wasn't sure how good this would work. It surpassed my expectations.

Summary: Comfortable and holds up better than competition
Review: I bought a Jabra earset for my Nokia 6160 a year ago and it is still working great. Everyone tells me that my voice sounds normal and many times people are surprised to find out that I am on a cell phone. If you have a cell phone and you talk while driving, an ear set is a must. This is the best one I have found. It is comfortable in your ear and the thicker/tougher wire seems to hold up better. I had a Nokia brand ear set and it developed a short after only a few months, which is why I was searching for a better set to begin with. The package comes with various sizes of gel ear pieces for both right and left ears. The only problem I have had is that I was a little rough on it and the piece that connects to the phone doesn't hang on as well as it used to. But I called the manufacturer and they gave me a warrenty return code and promised me a new one even though I didn't have the receipt or any proof of when it was purchased. Conclusion: It's a good buy. I am getting ready to buy one for my wife.

Summary: Decent Overall, Problem with background noise
Review: I bought the Jabra Earset for my Nokia 5190 about a month ago. A friend of mine also bought the same earset and I was able to hear them talking on theirs (using Nokia 6190). The receiver sound quality (talking) is slightly worse than a normal cellphone. It sounds somewhat distant and echoey. Also, it picks up background noise, especially from a car and almost seems to amplify the noise, making it hard for people to hear you. The speaker (listening) for the user is very clear and I had no problems finding an earpiece adapter that fit me.

PROBLEM: The biggest problem I've noted with these earsets is an annoying background "buzz". I have been told that this is caused by the earpiece wire picking up reception from the cellphone antenna. This buzz can be heard both on your side and the person you are talking to can hear it as well, creating quite an annoyance. In fact, this background buzz is so bad at times that I have stopped using my Jabra earset entirely unless I am driving (It is law in California). The only way to get rid of the buzz is to orient the wire in certain positions or hold the wire in certain places (very impractical, especially if you are moving around). I would return this item and buy something else except that I bought it using an Amazon discount certificate, so I can't. I've been told that not all earsets have this problem so it is probably advisable that you if you get this you are able to return it or try it out first.

Summary: Poor instructions and design problems
Review: I bought the Jabra set to use with my Nokia 5160 phone. As far as I could tell, the sound quality was acceptable, but there are two things to keep in mind:

1) The plastic ear inserts not only would not fit comfortably in my ear (one hurt because it was too big, the next size down wouldn't stay in my ear). Further, the plastic inserts kept falling off the speaker!

2) There are no helpful instructions to help you figure out which of the inserts are for the right and which for the left ear. You have to experiment. There isn't even instruction on how to insert them in your ear properly.

Summary: The other party cannot hear you with this device
Review: I could hear just fine with this device, but the other party
cannot hear you. I fiddled with the little mike (which is
attached to the earpiece) but couldn't improve quality. I
left myself voice mail at home and cell phone to check quality -
the words are unintelligible on the message.
Also, the little alligator clip that is I guess supposed to
keep the wire from getting tangled broke the first time I used it.
The earpiece fit fine and did not give me a problem.
