This by far one of the best bluetooth devices I've used to date. Getting the ear loop shaped to fit comfortably was the only issue to date. I highly recommend this item. Thanks Cardo, Joe
It works well with my previous phone. What a great value. This headset is a keeper. I gave it away. The gift giver is none the wiser. It works just as well with my new Palm Pre.
It was given to me as a Christmas gift, and I lost it. Luckily I was able to find a replacement. This is a great product. I could care less about how the headset looks. I was out some shipping, but @ the price I paid, I still can't complain. My Palm Pre came with a free Bluetooth that was worthless. The important part is that whoever I am on the phone with can hear me, and I can hear them as well.
I had to ship it back. Palm Centro. It is a little bulky, but the sound is fantastic. My first order was defective. My exchange was handled with much professionalism. I live in CA where a headset on the road is NOT an option. Not to mention it keeps me, as well as others on the road, safe.
Features I liked on it: You could answer the phone by flipping open the boom, thereby turning on the headset and linking it to the phone. It feels loose, and precarious, but has never fallen off and is actually quite secure, and is so comfortable that I've forgotten I was wearing it. When I go somewhere with friends, I wear the headset and can contact them or be contacted if we get separated. When the phone rings, the headset remains silent. The headset is comfortable.
This may not be a problem for others, but it makes it too easy for me to miss calls. This headset has no volume control and relies solely on the volume control of the phone. There's a button to turn it on and off, but you have to hold the button for a while to do this. It makes a little blip in my ear when the phone rings.
It has about the same degree of loudness as the Cardo. This is my second headset, and I found that there were several features I had taken for granted on my old headset that are lacking in this one.My old headset was a Motorola HS-850 headset Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset (Silver)[Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]. You can't forget you're wearing it because of the pain. If that were my only criteria, this would be a good headset. The part the sound comes from is metal, and would probably bang loudly against a hearing aid, although I haven't tried it. This is useful when I have the phone in my handbag, which muffles the ring, so I don't always hear the phone itself.
Everything about the operation of this headset feels slow and clunky.Both headsets tend to boost human speech in the higher ranges. It turns on and off by flipping the boom mic open or closed, so it's easy to see instantly if it's on.New, Cardo headset: takes long enough to turn on and link that you can't use it to answer the phone with any degree of reliability, i.e., the phone will stop being answerable before you can get the headset working if it's not already on. I bought this headset because everyone said it was LOUD.I have hearing problems, and I want a headset that I can hear. The headset is comfortable for about two seconds, then it's uncomfortable, and after a minute, it begins to HURT. The headset is very tight on the ear and does not feel like it will fall off.
I think this is not specific to me, personally, because there's a very small amount of space between the back of the headset and the earpiece, so it's going to pinch anyone's ear.
The back of this is flatter than most headsets, but still extends into the outer ear a bit.
This makes both of them sound tinny, but does a lot to enhance the understandability of speech, a plus for both.I had a friend complain about background noise when I talked to him over this headset.
The back of this is flat and covered in a thin sheet of a rubber-like substance, which makes it easy to use with an in-ear hearing aid and has an edge that tends to block outside noise.
He said it sounded like there was a fan on nearby.
The headset has a volume control.
The shape might work with an in-ear hearing aid, but it would work better with some than others.
Lights are the only visible indication that it's on or off, and you may have to wait a few seconds to tell.
There was NO noise at all in my apartment at the time.I wish I had spent the money on another Motorola headset, and I'll probably buy another one as soon as I can scrape up the money.
One of the headsets is broken. I returned the headset by mail and they claim they did not receive it.
This one works quite well. I was forced to return this item directly to cardo because of a defective battery. I purchased this headset because of two prior headsets I had from them which served my faithfully until I dropped one in water and lost the other one. BTW, I have also found the one I lost, so now I have two. As to the cost, the shipping was expensive, but the unit was well priced.
