 Lot's of static, VERY poor range August 11, 2008
This is the third ER product I have owned, and while I am am usually very pleased, with this one I am completely disappointed. The headset has a very poor range, even from a few feet away from my phone there is a lot of static coming through the earpiece (ie phone in my shirt pocket, headset in my ear). I can barely hear the person I am talking to. The person says they can hear me ok until I get approximately 10 feet from the phone, then the static in the earpiece is so bad I cannot hear anything and the person on the other end says they can make out every other word at best. Within tens of seconds at this distance, the headset eventually disconnects from the phone. I don't know if I got a faulty model, but I am very disappointed with this >$100 useless piece of electronics. I will be in contact with ER to see if they have a solution to offer... maybe (I hope) I just got a faulty unit.

I love driving ragtops - the wind in your hair, the sun on your face - but if you use a cell phone and need a headset - you are pretty much out of luck. I got a great response out of the Shure Quietspot earpiece - but it was wired and had no control button on the earpiece itself - all calls had to be generated through the phone. It was a decent compromise. I tried a variety of Bluetooth earpieces but they either were too quiet on my end to hear through the wind noise, or the person on the other end of the call couldn't hear me. The Etyblu fixed that! The boom mic is clear as a bell and people don't realize I'm calling from a convertible. The sound quality on my end is great. I did have some problems getting it to fit right. Frankly I had to use the soft rubber insert with the earclip to get it to stay in right - the flanged in-ear adapters just didn't cut it for me. However, it is easy enough to put on and it is worth the extra second to use it. There is occasionally a slight bit of static noise, but not much. Battery life seems really good so far. I am really pleased with this device! If it wasn't for the fit issues I'd give it a solid "5" but it's really better than a Four in my book!

Etymotic makes some of the best headphones around, so when I saw they made a bluetooth headset I had to try it. As expected the sound quality was exceptional and it paired quickly and easily with my phone. It can be charged through a USB port which makes it great for travel. Unfortunately I found that it doesn't wear easily or comfortably. Putting it on was awkward and it was too heavy with the boom microphone to keep it on. I ended up buying a Plantronics Voyager 510 that is excellent.

OK, here's the deal. I need a blue tooth because I'm either writing or on the run and wires just get in my way. I've had my Etyblu for two days now and it has mostly met my high expectations. I initially went through all of the various ear pieces, after watching the video "how to" insert your ear piece on Ety's website. So I knew how to install. And right up front I'll tell you that the only shortcoming that I have found is the insertion of the ear piece. I did after many different config's find an acceptable match. The smallest ear insert partially inserted using the over the ear hook. I'd give it about a 7 out of 10 for comfort but you do lose a little audio quality compared to the deep insertion ear piece.
I simply couldn't stand having the thing jammed in my ear. It was uncomfortable and you definitely lose half of your hearing. That said, if I need it in high noise environments, I can stand it for around 30 minutes. I could hear clearly standing in a 40 mph wind with higher gusts.
Now for the really great part. Your callers will be able to hear you perfectly. Standing in a 40 mph wind and with the foam wind hood installed on the boom mic my callers said that they could barely hear the wind noise and that it did not impede our conversation. And I didn't have to scream into the mic. Excellent and just what I want. I spend a lot of time in airports and with the Ety I can have private conversations for a change.
I tried and returned the Jawbone 2 after three days. It would not fit and the sound on both ends was poor. I will not be returning my Ety. It may not be perfect but it is the best out right now. PS-in regard to those who have said that the outgoing sound quality and volume is poor. You must have the noise cancellation hole facing your mouth and the mic hole facing away from you. Outgoing sound quality and volume is a 9.9 out 10. You'll love it, with the boom mic installed!
