I find the idea of you wearing a hot pink headset hilarious, Matt. Thanks for the good review.

Two way noise cancellation works best when the noise is more or less uniform. When sounds are sudden – such as a roaring car coming at a high speed – this headset can occasionally mute the speech or make it jagged and choppy. My friend with whom I speak frequently uses this headset exclusively, and in 85% of cases it works as advertised but in certain settings we are better of without it than with it.

I really don’t care what you think i look like, John. I use mine everyday to maximize my productivity when i’m out of the office, getting my child from school or shopping at the grocery store, etc. I can either worry about what people like you think about how ‘important i think i look’ or fit as much as i can into my 14 hour days. I’ll take the latter, thanks.

Regardless of how well you can hear someone or they can hear you, these things are foolish unless you are in your car or at your desk. Nobody is so important that they need to use these devices in public. I’m certain that the majority of people laugh at others wearing these. You really look insane chatting it up; looking aimlessly ahead with your hands free and dangling on your side. I’m convince people buy these in some sort of misguided attempt to feel important. It’s like saying “I can call you and I don’t even need my hands–or a wire.”

Martin, I’ve found that the background noise is more of a problem for the person on the other end.

Great product except you can’t use it with Skype as was originally planned

Find it somewhat amusing with all the reviews, basic thinking goes out of the window on these though, what’s the point of the other party hearing you, if you can’t hear them….

Picked one up, and it’s useless in NYC because there is always so much other sounds that will go in to your other ear.
