Product DescriptionDual Mode Noise Isolating Bluetooth Headset
static (Rating: 3 out of 5) This is the best noise canceling bluetooth I have tried, but the static when your phone is on your belt or if you get more than a few feet away is unacceptable. I have paired this with several phones with the same resulting static. I'm rma'ing it to etymotics for replacement. Crossing my fingers, I wan't this to work. Everyone I talk to when my phone is on the dash in front of me in a noisy truck say it sounds better than even my wired Shure quietspot, which was the best noise canceling unit so far.
Lot's of static, VERY poor range (Rating: 1 out of 5) This is the third ER product I have owned, and while I am am usually very pleased, with this one I am completely disappointed. The headset has a very poor range, even from a few feet away from my phone there is a lot of static coming through the earpiece (ie phone in my shirt pocket, headset in my ear). I can barely hear the person I am talking to. The person says they can hear me ok until I get approximately 10 feet from the phone, then the static in the earpiece is so bad I cannot hear anything and the person on the other end says they can make out every other word at best. Within tens of seconds at this distance, the headset eventually disconnects from the phone. I don't know if I got a faulty model, but I am very disappointed with this >$100 useless piece of electronics. I will be in contact with ER to see if they have a solution to offer... maybe (I hope) I just got a faulty unit.

Finally a Bluetooth earpiece for convertible owners! (Rating: 4 out of 5) I love driving ragtops - the wind in your hair, the sun on your face - but if you use a cell phone and need a headset - you are pretty much out of luck. I got a great response out of the Shure Quietspot earpiece - but it was wired and had no control button on the earpiece itself - all calls had to be generated through the phone. It was a decent compromise. I tried a variety of Bluetooth earpieces but they either were too quiet on my end to hear through the wind noise, or the person on the other end of the call couldn't hear me. The Etyblu fixed that! The boom mic is clear as a bell and people don't realize I'm calling from a convertible. The sound quality on my end is great. I did have some problems getting it to fit right. Frankly I had to use the soft rubber insert with the earclip to get it to stay in right - the flanged in-ear adapters just didn't cut it for me. However, it is easy enough to put on and it is worth the extra second to use it. There is occasionally a slight bit of static noise, but not much. Battery life seems really good so far. I am really pleased with this device! If it wasn't for the fit issues I'd give it a solid "5" but it's really better than a Four in my book!
Sounds good, clumsy fit (Rating: 2 out of 5) Etymotic makes some of the best headphones around, so when I saw they made a bluetooth headset I had to try it. As expected the sound quality was exceptional and it paired quickly and easily with my phone. It can be charged through a USB port which makes it great for travel. Unfortunately I found that it doesn't wear easily or comfortably. Putting it on was awkward and it was too heavy with the boom microphone to keep it on. I ended up buying a Plantronics Voyager 510 that is excellent.
