This is the first headset that I've used that didn't come with the phone. Usually the ones with the phone are earbuds with a dangling microphone. This clearly has a better mic than those. People don't even realize that I'm driving down the highway. The earpiece sound is not great, the phone earpiece is better, but the sound is good enough.The biggest complaint I have about this is that it is really uncomfortable. When I use it, I'm constantly adjusting it. There are probably better headsets out there, but this one is just adequate.
