hardly notice that i am wearing it. sound quality and volume are very good, ease of use is great. of the 10 or so headsets i have tried, this is the best, especially for the price. i do have a problem keeping the speaker lined up in my ear, I think this will be resolved when I get the silicone ear piece from cardo. my only complaint is that cardo does not include the silicone ear piece in the box. you must register with them online and then they will send it to you, free of charge. i have been waiting over 6 weeks for mine. if i ever get it will make for a better rating.
