Having owned a cell phone for several years but hating to hold a phone, I have always used headsets of some sort--both those with wires & the newer bluetooth variety. In doing so, I have always had complaints from the person on the other end of the line, and people could always tell immediately I was on a headset due to the poor reception. However, with this plantronics headset, not only do I get the great convenience of wireless bluetooth, but I virtually never get complaints from the person to whom I'm talking. Even in wind, people are able to hear me well--even in heavy wind that makes it difficult for me to hear the person walking next to me.The only minor--very minor-- thing about this headset is that the preformed ear loop is a bit larger than my actual ear, but even at that, it is still extremely comfortable & never falls off.As I have said, I have owned many headsets & from several different brands, but after the wonderful experience with this one, I doubt I'll ever try another one.
