Summary: Palm Headset Dissapointing
Comment: I have a Treo 650, and wanted a headset that paired easily, didn't lose the connection constantly, and had good sound quality. Considering that this is made by Palm for the Treo, I assumed it would be the best choice. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The cool-looking metal case is basically a throw-away, the piece that the headset must fit into for charging is just another small piece that can be easily lost (why can't you just plug a charger directly into the headset??), and the bluetooth pairing is constantly dropping.
It is relatively easy to use, comfortable, and the sound quality is ok - though not that impressive. The rubber earpiece is constantly falling off as well.
For the price I guess it's not a bad option, but if this is the best Palm can do I'm pretty underwhelmed.
I guess this goes in-line with the Treo itself in my opinion...underwhelming.

Summary: Fine Headset
Comment: After a bad experience with another Palm headset model I took a chance and bought this one. I found it to be much better: light, confortable, nice reception and easy to set up and use. It works quite well with my Treo, although it could have better reception at times and the earpiece could be better designed for it has a tendency to fall out or stay inside your ear. Besides that I am pretty pleased with this model.

Summary: Very clear and light.
Comment: This bluetooth works great with my Palm Centro. It is very clear on both ends and has great battery life. I have trouble keeping it in my ear, even though there are three different size plugs, however I haven't found any that feel any more secure than this one.

Summary: a great device
Comment: it works very well with my palm centro except the advanced feature of being able to hold the button for two seconds in order to voice dial a number does not work. I am not sure if the phone does not support the function or if it is something else but it isn't a big deal to me. If I figure it out I will write a new review but other than that it works great and especially at that price. I recommend using the earloop as without it the device does stay in your ear, however you are not able to position the mic so that it points forward. It just slouches pointing toward your earlobe. With the loop in place you can adjust it however you like and it feels very secure.

Summary: BAMBOOZLED
Comment: I was SO excited to purchase this unit because of its claim of noise cancelling. I thought it was neat too. I didn't have to buy extra charging cables. It used the same chargers I used for my Treo's. I thought it was nicely compact and the option to charge it with a battery when you didn't have access to a outlet was definitely a plus. After all the hype, I was once again disappointed. It did not have the magical noise cancelling it claimed. Instead, the sound quality wasn't all that loud and clear on my end. I often got complaints from callers that they couldn't really understand me because I sounded muffled. For whatever reason, I found myself pairing and re-pairing the unit way more than I should've been. So, I stopped using it and went back to my old Jabra 250v that's cracked up and dying a slow death. I put this unit it back in its fancy mirrored case to collect dust. It wasn't until my best friend told me that she needed a earpiece but didn't have the money to dish out for a good one just yet. I simply shipped her this one and I guess it works for her because she hasn't complained to me about it although I can tell when she is using it while talking to me. It doesn't sound that bad from my end....I guess. Bottomline, I wouldn't recommend this unit.
