Very professional bluetooth headset ”

I have strong suspicion the HS 655 is the best bluetooth headset I have ever used. It's easy to connect with both Macbook Pro laptop and Nokia E72 cellphone. The sound is crystal clear compared to my LG bluetooth headset and it never dropped a call....

Best in price range..

The instructions dont have much in them...but its a bluetooth, its not rocket science to pair one of these up. I guess some of these people want a bunch of jibbajabba in their instructions that they dont even understand to make them feel they are...
