    Pros: size, light weight

    Cons: poor noise reduction, fit is challenging

    Summary: Clearly, it all depends on what's important to you in a headset. For me, noise reduction in windy/loud environments is critical. I owned this headset for a couple of days, but returned it when I realized the headset was better at picking up surrounding noise than it was at catching my own voice. It seems as though the rating given by CNET is more for it's extensive feature set (music capability, ability to pair with two BT devices simulateously) than for it's real-world usability. Again, the reviewer mentions toward the end of the review that it's not the best in wind/noise. For me, that was the dealbreaker!
