Mostly use for calls, sometimes for music.

Works well for calls in the car, in the office and outdoors.

Excellent ambient sound isolation.

Excellent incoming sound. Excellent outgoing sound, when microphone is raised towards the mouth.

Only problem I face is that the microphone hangs low, I have to raise it towards the mouth when speaking. I end up tying the cord to the top button of my shirt to keep the microphone close when speaking; then it works very well. Inclusion of a small clip in the package would have helped a lot. However with the microphone raised, the cord length from microphone to phone connector becomes short.

The shortcoming due to microphone placement and cord length prevents me from giving five stars.

They look great and that's about it. I turned the volume control to high and could barely hear anything,and yes it was plugged in all the way. They have a wheel for volume that is very hard to use. I answered a call and could hear a whisper, good thing I had my phone on vibrate.

I have had this for about a week now and I am beginning to like it.

I use it predominantly as a spare mostly in the car to work and back. I find the sound isolation is fairly good and while in the car I feel very comfortable and uninterrupted.

I listen to this on my Ipod Touch and I do have to use it together with my BBE Sonic pro app as the tone does require a little tweaking. I find that (un-EQ) the bass tends to be a bit in the forefront and vocals tend to drown.

But when I am able to fiddle the EQ to the right level the final sound comes out fairly good. What normally gives me problems is with the sound stage and the depth and I do need to spent time adjusting this (especially if I change music genre). It does work very well with guitar sounds and acoustics.

The other thing I find convenient is the inline mic. I used my Ipod to Skype all the time and its proving to be very convenient. I am told by my phone contacts that my talking tone and clarity on the other end is very pleasing.

Overall I do believe this to be a good buy and value for the price. (paid $70 for it)
