I got these last time. I would suggest against purchasing this. I own many bluetooth head sets. This falls in to one of the worse ones I have had. If I put my big phone in my back pocket, signal breaks. Phone and this bluetooth have to have clear path with no obstacles in between. My plantronics edge won't have this issue. Distance is not the cause of breaking since there is only 3 feet from headset to my phone. If I glide my hand over the phone, connection breaks. It is really bad. I also get noise complaints from people on the receiving end. I one time got a high wind noise complaint when I did not even have my windown down while driving. Turns out, it was AC that was causing noise that was on at the lowest settjng. Pretty rrdiculous in my honest opinion.
Bottom line, there are better options out there.

andypak01I thought of joining this drop, but after reading your comments, having second thoughts. I am a Sennheiser fan, got a couple of their cans, but I did not expect this level of quality from one of their set in the primary area where it is expected to shine. It appears my current V Moda LPII can is better off for picking up conference calls. With LPII, I have always received great feedback on my voice clarity from the other speaker even when connecting to my work network from home thro VPN and taking calls through IM software :)

KartI had same expectations when I purchased it. I thought it would be good since sennheiser is known for mic and headphones. I guess they fell short due to lack of expertise/experience with Bluetooth technology and noise cancelling. It actually reminded me of bluetooth headsets from many years back when they first came out with signal breakage I experienced with this one. I was very disappointed. Plantronics Edge might be better option for you. It excels this offering in every way plus extra features like motion sensor so it answers automatically when you put it on and voice answer/end. Noise cancelling is also good. People can't hear wind when I am on a freeway with my windows down. I would wait for senns to get better with making bluetooth headsets before getting one.

KartI have (and previously recommended in this thread) a Plantronics Voyager Legend, which is a touch cheaper than the Edge. Amazing headset, great quality, looks stylish, can wear it forever. Literally walk 20 feet from my phone into another room and connection is perfect, people say it sounds great. Noise canceling in the car is killer too, most people tell me they can't tell I'm driving even with windows cracked. If you're on the fence cause these headsets are expensive let me tell you it's worth every single penny.

andypak01I was thinking this week after a long road trip that a headset would be better than my ear buds, but after reading the reviews here I'm going to save my money. Thanks for sharing your experiences with this, I guess Massdrop works as a good clearing house for discontinued products that need to be dumped.

MostlyHarmlessSave your money on better product. Mine is sitting in my car's coin pocket. I am back to using Plantronics Edge. This device feels to me like I am using bluetooth 1.0 product from decade ago. I think $10 bluetooth headset you can buy from ebay would be comparable to this so just get that instead.
