But a couple months after buying one, way past the return date, I've decided to not use it anymore. While I generally have no problems with the fit in terms of getting it on or off my ear, it sits too far out from my ear and the speaker is tinny. Both of these make it hard for me to hear the person I'm talking to. Zero problems with the noise cancellation bit, people don't even know I'm on the cellphone when I use it, until I start asking them to speak up and repeat. So I'm back to using the Plantronics Explorer. It fits better, has more volume, and a properly tonally balanced speaker. But it always starts each call at minimal volume, I have to turn it up each and every time I make or receive a call, and if I'm in a noisy place, like my car driving, or a busy mall, etc, there's a lot of noise on both ends. Plus, it keeps turning itself off when not in use regardless of how it's stored. So I'm back to looking for that 'perfect' headset. I really, really loved the Logitech headsets. They fit. They had volume. They had good tonal balance. And they had 'windstop' microphones that while not true noise cancellation, did a fair job at reducing background noise. But the last one I had would not return to standby when paired to the 680, causing it to drain its battery faster than the Treo's. I have two restrictions: No 'over the back of the ear' styles, and a max budget of $100. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol 'If I am ever the Hero top 100 list: #85.
