I finally took the Bluetooth plunge after years of corded headsets. This one works better than my old corded headset and was only a few dollars more. I have no problems hearing other people and they seem to hear me fine as well. Co-workers have noted that there seems to be less background noise now when I call from my car.Works fantastic with my Blackberr Curve 8330. I also love the feel of this headset. Stays put on my ear even when I jum around. My only minor complaint it that the range doesn't allow me to get more than 20-50 feet away before it starts to break up.
