5.0 out of 5 stars The best headset I've ever had., September 13, 2009

I purchased this headset to use with Draon Naturally Speaking for speech recognition.

Pros:
It works well for speech recognition, a lot better than the wired mike. Since my laptop has bluetooth capability, I am not using a USB adaptor, it's connected directly to the computer.
Also very good to be used with my cell phone. It's the forst time my wife does not complain when I use a headset to call her.
Confortable, it's the only headset I can wear for periods of time without giving me a headache.

Con: None really, just beware that the headset comes without a charger (because it's a replacement). I purchased a sepparate charger for another $8.00 (shipping included). Anyway, it cost me a third than any other similar quality headset would have cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound quality and comfort, but fragile, December 1, 2009

I purchased this headset to use primarily with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It's been working wonderfully for that purpose-- recognition is good and playing back my recorded voice sounds great. It also works quite well with my iPhone as a standard BT headset. Perhaps my favorite bit is that it can bind with both the computer and the phone simultaneously-- so I can be dictating to the computer and when a call comes in, just hit the button to answer.

Three downsides I've found so far. One, it's obviously a "replacement" unit, so you have to spend a fair amount to get a charger. Two, the construction is somewhat flimsy. The joint connecting the ear-loop to the body can't take much abuse, and I'm worried I'll be replacing it soon. That's fine for sitting at my desk dictating, but not good for getting thrown in my bag and jostled around. Final downside is with respect to using it with your computer: the hell of bluetooth profiles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crackling sound, connection confusion w iPhone and Mac Snow Leopard, March 26, 2010

I wanted this for two reasons:
1. To use this for voice dictation using MacSpeech Dictate international version 1.5.8 on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
2. To have better range and sound clarity than the $25 Motorola Bluetooth earpiece that I currently own.

The end result:
I returned it in favor of a wired headset (Sennheiser PC 151) and direct USB connection for dictation and have gone back to using my smaller Motorola earpiece.

Pros:
-The boom mic on this headset is close to your mouth, so a test recording did sound slightly better than my smaller one that just stick in your ear.
-Connects to mobile phones and computers with relative ease.

Cons:
- I had trouble connecting it to my Mac running Snow Leopard and MacSpeech Dictate International. If I used it to make a phone call on my iPhone, I had trouble getting it to work once I reconnected to my Mac. I was connecting to the Mac directly over Bluetooth using LineIn &... Read more
