After reading many, many reviews in looking for a Bluetooth headset, I decided to give this one a go. And I am so happy with my decision. Learning to put it on definitely takes some trying, and I still have moments where I can't seem to do it gracefully. But the one-hand success rate has been about 98% now that I've had it a few weeks, so I'm suitably pleased. Once it's on, this headset works great. I can hear people no problem; I don't even have to keep it at max volume all the time. Plus, the fact that this one doesn't actually go in the ear makes it all the more comfortable for me to wear continuously (I don't like that feeling of having one ear blocked, especially when listening to music in the car or, you know, singing along). Furthermore, people have said they have no problems hearing me, probably thanks to the boom mike option. All in all, I'm very happy with my selection.
