Uncomfortable, falls out of the ear

Although everything works technically, the earpiece doesn't sit very comfortably in the ear. I had to place, bend and twist the invisible ones and still they fall out easily without getting stuck in the ear.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Some problems

Great product and price!

I know when you order an item you expect it to be fine when it arrives. I have to say that I am very satisfied with my order. Nothing but high ratings and I will order again. I ordered them to be safe at my church.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to say

Works but nothing extraordinary

Was bought except for radios. When there is event noise it is very difficult to hear. It would be unfair if I only blame the earbud. But I can say that the earpiece works. It's not easy to keep it around the ear.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • There are nuances

Great product, a literary aspect is missing.

Works very well, much better than the standard headphones my co-worker plugged in. I ended up buying more because everyone at work wanted one too. The only negative is the lack of literature attached to the product. A few instructions or practical tips would be nice.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I'll text later

The microphone is very poor, the best in Portable Audio & Video

The earpiece is comfortable, works well. The microphone is really deaf. The push-to-talk microphone body doesn't have a hole for it. No matter where you speak, the person on the other end cannot understand you if you are in a semi-noisy environment. I bought several of these in a pack and they were all the same.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Great product for the price

We bought these to replace the originals that come with walkie talkies (which break just by looking at them) and were very happy with the purchase. It takes some determination to get them to sit properly, but if you do they will stay in place easily. There is a microphone but it is not visible. The microphone is also of much better quality than the original earphone.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • 0

DO NOT BUY FOR WASTE

Really Terrible Product! I didn't like the black earphone, so I bought an acoustic earphone. Not only can I not hear what my superiors are saying through the headphones BUT the acoustic tube goes so far into your ear that you can't hear through the ear the receiver is in. So walking around trying to run a busy semi-deaf restaurant. Don't buy, you will regret it

Pros
  • When Satisfied
Cons
  • Frequency

Poor sound quality - headsets and mics

I used 10 of these at an event with Arcshell 5 radios. The result was disappointing. The sound was muffled and "empty". Most of us found it difficult to understand what others were saying. We experimented with mic placement and it sounded better further away than up close, but only marginally. The microphone isn't the whole problem. I listened to people talking through the headset while using the radio's speaker. The sound is not very good, but much better than through the "tube". Then I turned

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
