The other reviews do a good job of covering the product. I bought it because I dont like headsets that insert into my ear - they are less comfortable, especially when worn over a period of time. The rubber ear piece does a nice job of funneling sound in and out of the headset. However, because it doesnt insert, it does feel a bit less stable; but doing some tests jumping around and shaking my head, the headset never fell off or was displaced off of my ear. The ability to turn it on and off easily also makes it easy to conserve the battery. I use it for skype and like to roam around the room as I talk; I was able to maintain a conversation at around 15 feet and even in other rooms though the sound quality became poor. Within 5 feet of my computer, the sound quality was close to that of a phone. Other headsets would probably have better sound quality, but this one certainly does a good enough job.
