The headset is very light a easy enough to use, however there are a few comments that need to be made.
Apparently if you have the in-line volume control set to the highest level (or nearly so) the unit must pick up some type of signal from the ether and initiates a re-dial of the last number called [when used on a mobile phone]. Very annoying. Due to this hypersensitivity, you will also hear the “buzz-click-click-click” that you sometimes get when certain mobile phones pick up stray signals. Also the plug doesn’t seem to fit snugly into the jack/port on the phone and has to be pressed (and held) in by hand – could be an issue with my phone.
The volume/clarity in the earpiece is not all that fantastic, and to improve it you still must press the earpiece more firmly to your ear with one of your hands (not so “hand free) but for a lightweight unit, this could be expected.

The unit is not usuable because people I was on the phone with couldn’t hear me. Wish I hadn’t spent the money on it.

Even though the connection works with most HOME CORDLESS PHONES… I would only recommend you buy this for use with a cell phone if you want a good CORDLESS headset try Radio Shack or Panasonic on amazon.com

I bought two of these to use with mobile phones because of the mute capability … heh … it doesnt have mute capability even though the ad reads volume AND MUTE control. I tried it anyway to see if it was more comfortable than the original headsets on my mobiles and the originals were better … so it was a loss all around. And BTW, whoever decided to put a mute button that has to be held down continously on mobile phones was a sadist … try holding on down for a hour or more while typing on your computer with the other hand …
