With the proliferation of complex wireless headset, I am pleased that Jabra is still making a simple wired ear bud. I have had several of these over the years. Each version has been less expensive and less-well designed. The current ear piece design is a bit on the fragile side. The speaker casing comes apart easily and, once it does, it is very easy to detach the small wires that make it work. This is not what you want for tossing casually into a big bag. However, if you can keep from smashing it, it works great.
