 Poor May 8, 2008
Callers on the other end could not hear me, I returned it. Would not recommend. Voice clarity was amazing...but I was not impressed with everything else.
 OK, a little awkward May 6, 2008
As you can see by the picture, this device has merely an ear canal insert and the microphone and cord just dangle. It feels a little awkward to me, although if you're not moving it does stay in as long as you've "pulled your ear back" while inserting it, which creates a clamp effect between your ear canal and the rubber insert. The earset itself is light enough to work this way. The problem is the cable, which drags, gets bumped by clothing, etc, and jiggles things. You have to clip the cable to your collar for sure, it's not optional like with over-the-ear headsets. It comes with a little Y-shaped adapter which lets you use it with SKYPE or other PC-based systems. Interestingly, while this works fine, the earset has a little whistle-y electronic noise with Etymotic that I don't hear (no matter how close I listen) with some other earsets I have. It's not noticeable once a conversation starts. Overall, for most use, I don't find it's much better than a couple $7 dollar over-the-ear earsets Radio Shack used to stock (no longer do). It may be, as someone reported, it's way better for wind noise, I haven't tried that. It comes with a couple fluffy black sponge wind masks for the mike bulb.
 Works great May 5, 2008
This product works great. I work as an IT person at a casino, and with this headset I can be heard easily both in the server room, and out on the gaming floor. I had no problem hearing anyone else, either. I tried several different bluetooth headsets, and none of them did the job very well. There might be bluetooth headsets that would do the job, but they will be a lot more expensive than this, and a drain on your battery life.

I would write up a review except that I haven't even received this product yet.
It was ordered on March 7, shipped four days later on March 11, and it's now April 7. No sign of it anywhere.
I hope Amazon didn't do something incredibly lame and ship it via Parcel Post since that's slower than sending something via a horse-drawn wagon and a canoe. Especially since Priority service costs just a tiny bit more and takes but a few days to arrive here in Hawaii.
While I'm certain Etymotic makes a great product -- I use their in-ear monitors for professional video production work -- getting it from a vendor that can't ensure timely delivery isn't a good idea.
Maybe next time I'll have to find some other reliable source. Amazon's getting too big and not giving enough attention to minor details like sending something via a proper delivery service and answering customer inquiries.
good to excellent January 10, 2008
I like the portability of the headset. The cord with the clip seems to be positioned in not quite the right place, it pulls down on the headset a little. Its not that big of a deal. I prefer the wired headset over bluetooth as the bluetooth quality of sound deteriorates too quickly. So far this headset is very reliable. The carry case allows me to fold it up and keep it in my purse.
