Sounds like a nice set of cans...for a cell phone anyway. Too bad I'm wearing glasses again, back when I wore contacts I loved this style headset but as was pointed out, it can get uncomfortable with the ear clips. Very nice review all the same DPuppy

Thanks man. I really wanted to LOVE these headsets, but the problems we had with our Treo and the relatively poor sound output really let us down. If you don't really care for great sound, there is a lot to love about these headsets.

A little birdie told us that there might be a new version of these headsets on the horizon. Let's hope they make some improvements to their speaker drivers.

Ah, I don't remember you saying anything about the poor sound quality but then I was half asleep when I read the review *must remember to be fully rested when reading reviews*. Still, they look good! Hope that little birdie was telling the truth and isn't a result of too many headset reviews on your part... . I look forward to your review on the updated set.
