Customer Reviews:
- "Works As Advertised. The sound quality is very good. In addition, the case is durable, and the four adapter cables are a nice addition."
- "Good Value, Good Performer. I love the natural sound of the mic. I also like the protective case it comes with."
- "Too tight and skinny cables look like Floss. First, it looks like it was open box. Second its too tight on head. Third cables look thinner than floss to clean your teeth with."
- "All Parts Failed After One Year of Moderate Use. It worked so well the first couple of weeks and was so comfortable that I bought a second one as a back up. On the one that I used daily for work, first the wire that attaches to the transmitter failed, then the headset failed."
- "Poor product - failed twice now, don't buy - no, make that three failures - rubbish! I brought two of these for fitness instruction, one as a backup. Both have now failed on me in the space of a week."
- "Perfekt für Fitnesskurse. Ich habe viele Headsets ausprobiert und von diesem bin ich hellauf begeistert. Der Kopfbügel sitzt dank dem Gummiband fest am Kopf. Es wackelt nichts und das Beste, es drückt auch nicht unangenehm.
