It does get some static. But I've washed the thing in the washing machine 4 times and it still works great. I wanted a new one so I got a samsung hated it it kept falling out of my ear and the ear hook sucks. I love the 320's hook it rotates and its not a hard plastic and it just fits better so I've switched back. Also Ive used the 320 with a motorola nextel phone it worked horrible then I got the RAZOR with ATT works great. So sometimes its the phone.
