"Etymotic does it again!"
Pros: Crystal clear sound in your ear, Can talk in high noise areas no problem
Cons: Without added mic, feed back is added
Summary: The EtyBLU is amazing!
I make most of my phone calls on my commute to and from work, and being on the road for up to 2-3 hours a day (and living in a HANDS FREE only state) with out a BT (blue tooth) headset I can't make any calls. I have been using Etymotic products for the past 3 years (ER*4P, ER*6i & their ear plugs), and can't get enough of them. This BT headset continues the trend. Driving in my car with my windows down, music at a relatively loud volume, and traveling around 65, I was able to use the voice operated commands to place a call, and when my caller picked up, they commented on how clear the conversation was...they were convinced I was locked away in padded room! Not only were they able to hear me, but with the noise isolation earphone (my preference is the foam insert) I was able to hear them crystal clear while having all of the ambient noise around me at a relatively high dB level.
Without the boom mic...not as impressive. I did the same test, music up relatively loud and placed a call. It picked up my voice fine for the voice commands, however I could hear some feed back--heard my music and a slight echo of my voice. Also both my callers that had heard me on it with the mic b4, could hardly hear me over the music....said they could hear that I was speaking, but couldn't make out my voice with out straining.
During the same call I went ahead an attached the mic, annd continued to talk with the windows down and music up, and they could hear me crystal, and the feedback in my ear was gone as well.
If you're going to use this always where you can keep the mic attached, I would highly recommend it.
I used to have a Motorola over the ear BT set, and this totally blows it out of the water, both in comfort and quality. I'm no longer asking my callers to repeat what they're saying, or rolling up my windows and turning off the music just because I'm on a call.
Well worth the money!
