4 out of 5 eggsI don't understand. . .

Pros: Sounded good, long lasting battery, comfortable

Cons: Mic wasn't great

Other Thoughts: So many people said they hated this headset. I guess I got lucky with mine because it worked great and nothing was wrong with it. o.o For what I paid for it, it was a wonderful device. The talk time per charge was absolutely true and it was comfortable and sounded good. If it was heavier, it might not have been so comfortable, but since it's so lightweight, it never bothered me. The only con was that sometimes I sounded far away to people on the other line. This headset worked great with my phone and my PS3 for about two months, up until my niece (my sister's dog) chewed it up. :( RIP headset. You served me well and were well worth the $10 I spent on you.

1 out of 5 eggsWon't holds a charge

Pros: Small, light, cheap, packaging fully recyclable

Cons: Won't hold a charge, wasn't able to enjoy the joys of hands free calling.

Other Thoughts: NewEgg.com should not have this item listed. From what I can tell from other users; this item is not even worth the materials it is made out of.

1 out of 5 eggsDidn't last 2 weeks

Pros: Paired with my Blackberry bold 9900 easily. Very inexpensive. Worked with my eyeglasses.

Cons: It failed to turn on after a week or so. Had only used it 3 or 4 times in the previous week. Tried charging it for an extended period of time, still nothing.

Not bad at all

4 out of 5 eggs
Nice and small. No frills, just a small bluetooth headset that works well. Paired with an HTC Touch Pro, the sound is clean ...
