Although I actually like these headphones there are a couple of issues with them. Unfortunately when I'm outside the ambient noise makes it very difficult to hear the caller and I often have to ask them to repeat themselves. While indoors I've only had one caller tell me to keep adjusting the microphone (maybe I'm not speaking loudly enough).
The ear hook does fit my ear very nicely. Outdoors I've been told I can be heard exceptionally well regardless of the wind or ambient noise around me. I'm a woman with normal size ears (whatever that means exactly) and perfect hearing.
In the car I feel like I'm constantly adjusting the microphone, although the caller doesn't seem to notice I feel like it moves. The Plantronics MX150 are not adjustable and the microphone tends to swivel a little easily. When I'm indoors and there is no tv or radio playing I can hear the caller very clearly (though I have the volume on the high side).
Even under my hood my voice is perfectly clear and I've been told the caller can't tell that I'm using a headset. I will buy a different style headset to travel with and keep this one to use at home.
Now I understand why the price was so discounted. I purchased this headset about two months ago. I wouldn't recommend this headset to my worst enemy. The first time I used it, it was very scratchy, both on my end and the person who I was calling. I only paid about $1.50 for it, so I didn't return it, it wasn't worth the hassle. You really do get what you pay for. If I could have rated this zero stars, I would have.
This headset works very well. I have purchased several to give as gifts and keep one in my purse and one at home so that I don't have to have the phone at my ear. It's great for teenagers so they are not distracted holding a phone while driving if they need to ask directions.
The quality on how they are made is very poor to say the least. I just received 2 of these things and I am very disappointed. Don't waste your $$$ on this one. You get what you pay for. It might say 'Plantronics' in the ad but there aren't any marking of the manufacturer. They were in a small zip log bag when I received them. On the other hand, they do work. but for how long.
I have 2 words for this product with my phone (HTC Touch Pro) Static and echo.
