Good stereo Head-Set

This headset works well with my Verizon xv6800.Has the full 30 foot range. There are some pairing issues, but I think it's the phone.

Good Range, Quality of sound

Not very comfortable after awhile

Don't Recommend.

I bought these with low expectations considering it was my first headset purchase.

Solid audio quality

Horrible clip design. Horrible reception. No pause/play button

Very Cool, but slightly uncomfortable

"This is a great headset. The ear clips are a little hard and can be uncomfortable after an hour or two. It works great with both phones I've had and never drops the connection. The sound quality is great, just needs more padding on the ears."

Good while it lasted...

A nice product, good sound quality, OK phone quality, comfortable to wear, a resonable battery life and nicely compact. Shame it didn't last longer than 3 months. To start with the headphone on the left ear began to crackle, then it began to hiss. Then...
