I picked this unit because others has said it was 'made for' the LG VX 8300. The LG headsets didn't get the best of reviews. So I can't say how it compares to them, but this one works well. I am able to put it on with one hand, though other folks said they could not. Guess it depends on your ear size/shape. The volume buttons on the headset aren't easy to use when wearing it, but thankfully the phone volume buttons work to adjust the headset volume. I say set the headset once and adjust from the phone. No one has had any toruble hearing me clearly, or me hearing them. I am able to put the phone down in a hotel room, and wander the whole room, including bathroom, and still get talk/hear. My biggest complaint about headsets is the lack of battery status. Like most (all?) others, this one gives no indication about how much battery charge is left, just a warning when you've got about a minute left.
