Manufacturer description
The JABRA EarWave Boom for mobile phones features an ultra-lightweight earpiece with discreet styling for a sleek look. With its secure and snug behind the ear fit, EarWave Boom stays in place comfortably. Its noise-canceling microphone blocks out background noise so you can talk hands-free no matter where you are. And the high-sensitivity speaker works with JABRA MiniGels for enhanced reception, quality and optimum sound volume. The new, contoured shape and efficient design of the EarWave Boom give you all-day comfort without sacrificing stability or performance. It feels good, thanks to its lightweight design, and you look great, because EarWave Boom features low-profile styling. The sturdy, stable microphone lets you enjoy crystal-clear conversations, even when you're on the go. People will hear your voice instead of what's going on around you, in any environment. MiniGels channel sound directly into your ear, and work with the speaker to boost volume and optimize sound quality. And for added comfort and fit, MiniGels pivot for use in either ear and come in two sizes - standard and small.User opinions

Very clear and loud volume on both ends
Pros: It was easy to hear using the headset (easier than using my cell--I rarely had to turn the volume up past "1"), and the person I was talking to was able to hear my voice loudly and clearly (people usually weren't able to tell if I was using it).
Cons: I'm guessing this is the same for most of these types of products, but it picked up wind easily (sometimes even wind created from me walking briskly) and I'm having to buy a new one after a month of continual use, because the cord is shorting out.

rather use this wired than any bluetooth
Pros: loud, stays in place, good mic
Cons: wired, delicate wire connection, boom looks silly
The mic and noise cancellation are great. The other party can always hear me clearly in moderately noisey environments [car with windows down, city streets, etc.].
The earpiece is loud and clear. With the large minigel, I can block out a little bit of environment noise to really help the clarity [this is something I can be very sensitive to].
I had a BT-350 for a while. The features on it were very nice, but the sound quality for me or the other party was so bad that I couldn't live with it. I'd rather use this with a wire, than have the convienience of bluetooth. It just sounds that much better.
The version of earwave that I have includes the control button. This acted as a "mute" button on my motorolas. On the samsung a950, it operates the voice commands and answers & ends calls.
The only problem with this headset [other than being wired] is that I have known a few people that have broken them around where the wire connects to the boom. I have been very lucky with mine, but this seems to be the weak spot for this design.
Again, the sound quality and fit are so good that, for me, it's worth using this wired headset rather than a bluetooth headset. Finally, the boom does look a little silly, but at least I don't have a beacon light flashing on the side of my head!

Not as great at least for me

I have been shopping for a nice ear bud, that actually fits securely, and comfortably. This is is.
Pros: You will hear your conversation loudly, clearly. I even had to turn my volume down on my phone. The adapters for the earpiece let you adjust the comfort, and noise level.
Cons: If you want a clear earbud, secure fit, and comfort this is it. The only con may be to the users that want the call end button, and redial feature.

Great sound going both ways
Pros: The headset is comfortable. Both parties are clear and easy to understand.

eventually complete junk
Pros: simple, comfortable
Cons: after a short time (as little as 2 weeks, as long as a month) complaints from others increase about sound quality, I can hear fine, but excessive noise deters usage, get a different jabra

Best Wireless headset I have ever used!
