The only exceptional thing worth mentioning about this "hands free" device is the price- when I first got my phone, an old Nokia 6102b, I bought a headset nearly identical to this at Target for about $16.00. Seeing this one for the listed price was incredible and really makes me wonder about the way things work. Why not just give them away?
That said, it works as well as the other one. Didn't come with three different foam earpads to immediatley lose, though. It seems to be OK for what I need, which is not being in violation of the new California 'hands free' law. I stil have not actually talked to anyone, but messages I left on my home machine were intelligible, if barely, and I could hear my outgoing message as well. As long as I had the windows rolled up.
I still believe it is not holding the phone to one's head that is the distraction to driving, it is conversing. Which is why I rarely do it. Even a Bluetooth requires a little input to the phone, so it's still not totally hands free. But talking to someone not in the vehicle is truly the hazard still not resolved by the new law- to say nothing of the scant sign that people are respecting it.
I have seen one result of it though- a great number of people now seem to think there is less shame to walk around in public with their little Borg headsets in place!
 Great value, works good August 7, 2008
Too GREAT of a price even with paying shipping to pass up.
Works great also, just wish it was an ear-plug rather then ear bud.....personal prefernce is all....
 Works Fine August 7, 2008
Had to get one because of the stupid new law. The ear buds are cheap and work fine.
