Don't even think about buying this product; there is a huge design flaw that severely outshadows any of the positives. The gel ear buds do not stay on the headset. To put them on and take them off, you put the bud in the "neutral" position then push it on and then twist it to the right or left, depending upon which ear you prefer. The problem is that the bud keeps rotating back to neutral and then falls right off. I complained to the Plantronics company and they told me where I could purchase replacement parts! I told them I wasn't paying for replacement parts for a product that was very poorly designed in the first place. This headset has been returned but I just wanted to warn everone who had read the excellent reviews about the product to not even consider this one.

In my mind there are only 2 bluetooth headsets to consider right now, the Aliph Jawbone and the Plantronics 665. I owned the Jawbone and this headset. They both are fine in terms of noise cancellation and clarity. Miles ahead of the competition. I prefer the Plantronics in the end though. I can wear it all day and barely notice I'm wearing it. The Jawbone starts to hurt the back of my ear after an hour. 'Pocketability' is better with the Plantronics as well. I can keep it in my jean pocket and not worry about breaking it. I thought it looks better as well than the Jawbone. I also find if I keep the headset in my pocket and pull it out the Plantronics is easier to stick in / on my ear than the Jawbone. Upgrading from any other headset you won't be disappointed with either headset but the form, style and charging options made me stick with Plantronics over the Jawbone.
