"Disappointing"
2.5 starson by lotharrPros: Great sound (when not cutting out), easy-to-use, nice feature set
Cons: Sound cuts out frequently, poor call quality for folks on the other end, uncomfortable
Summary: Let me start off by saying that this is my third Bluetooth headset (and first stereo one). I had very high expectations for this headset based on the glowing review here at CNET... however I am extremely disappointed with this device. Maybe it's the phone I'm using (LG enV), but I cannot have my phone in a pocket and use this headset to listen to music while I'm walking my dog - the audio will cut out repeatedly if I do. People on the other end of my calls complain about the muffled, garbled sound of my voice when using this headset - even if I am indoors in a quiet setting. I find that I have to speak very loudly for people to understand me - and by nature I have a loud voice anyhow. The plastic ear pieces are not very comfortable; I can only wear this headset for about 15 minutes before I need a break from it.
On the positive side, the feature set is wonderful, the controls are easy to use, and the sound quality is very good (when it's not cutting out).Updated
I also forgot that, while this headset supports voice dialing, I have never been able to successfully place a call via voice dialing with it. If I use the stereo earbuds that come with the "Music Essentials" kit that Verizon sells, voice dialing works fine.

So it may just be your EnV dude, their firmware was proven to suck on most units so I won't blame the handset itself, but rather poor provider's branding.
