I have been searching a long time for a decent headset. I tried the Shure model, I tried Samsung headsets, Radioshack ones, Jabra ones etc. This one beats them all. I love the fact that it has a volume control *AND* a mute button. Great for conference calls. It's very comfortable to wear. Shure is better for clarity, but the Shure ear bud also goes in about 1/4 inch in to your ear canal! This one just touches the ear and the sound is just as good. Best of all, EVERYONE is surprised when I tell them I'm on a headset.
