I have gone through jawbones, blue ants, and Plantronics.......so, as much as they all have their cool features, they all started out great but ended up the same. That is, they never stayed in place in my ear and actually hurt after long periods. I use it 50% of my workday and always found myself pushing it in my ear to hear better or get better quality sound(bass tones). Also, I use it on weekends when I drive my convertible and most just don't do the job with all the external road noise.
This one, however, is a nice product that satisfies all my needs. If you don't mind the old school, Janet Jackson look, then this one should put a smile on your face. Fits comfortably like the old Sony stereo headphones that used to cost $50 and up. I no longer have to push anything further into my ear as is has a fluffy cushion on the outside of the ear and has great quality sound. Everyone seems to hear me clearly, the only complaint I've received was that it sounded distant, maybe muted, but that was only one person out of 15 that I've asked, and I suspect maybe it was her headset's problem not mine. Also, read reviews by many big rig truckers who use it and all favorable. Would definitely recommend for practical purposes, not for stealth ability or fashion. Battery lasts the longest of all that I've tried! Go for it, if you don't mind looking like a telemarketer or a female R&B artist......no offense Janet, the "Control" album is the bomb.
What's great about it: comfortable and quality sound "on the ear" versus annoying lack of fit and sound quality from "in the ear"
What's not so great: old school look, big and clunky, but if fit and quality is what your after...this is the one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Apple exclusive? Some people do use PC........

Have been loving my 2nd gen airport exteme for years now and only wished I waited for the soon to come 1st gen time capsule. Now with the 802.11ac protocol emerging claiming near "wired" performance I thought it a great opportunity to finally upgrade to take advantage of the faster wireless specs and be able to auto back-up with Apple simplicity.
To my surprise, Apple tech support informed me they currently have no compatibility with PC's and therefore would not support the use of it. There are 3 mac books, 3 iPhones, a win7 laptop and win7 desktop both upgraded with Solid State hard drives in my household and was hoping all could seamlessly be auto backed-up with this nice all in one unit. Not the case......could not manually configure the router and thought for $300 there would be some general compatibility.
In addition, wireless throughput did not seem up to par either. My old wireless-N airport extreme ran tests consistently at 40-50Mbps#50Mbps Comcast subscriber#. This unit's N protocol transmitted and received often at sub 35Mbps download speeds. Although I purchased a Netgear wireless ac adapter, I could never get it to connect on the ac 5.0GHz broadband frequency but can't verify that was Apple's fault.
I am usually very high on Apple products, but this one I believe misses the target...unless you are an Apple exclusive user, I'm not sure this router/NAS would be the one for you. I will be returning the new TC and purchasing a higher rated ASUS router with an outboard 2TB hard drive for less or about the same money.
What's great about it: Excellent packaging and typical Apple build quality
What's not so great: back-up abilities limited to Apple hardware only....per tech support!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
