"Beautiful headset, Clear Sound"
Pros: Great looking, lightweight headset with great sound that I can wear without the earloop
Cons: Longer talk time would be nice.
Summary: I have used a variety of bluetooth headsets over the years, from the highest rated Jawbone to lower rated ones like this headset. So far, I am liking the H12 better than the Jawbone.
1. The H12 is an attractive headset. The silver and black casing is very fashionable, and the indicator light is a very unobtrusive blue dot rather than the larger blue or white flashing light that most headsets have.
2. The H12 is very lightweight. Wearing it for long periods of time is not a problem.
3. The design of the actual earpiece is good - better than my experience with the Jawbone (none of those quite fit). I like the option of wearing my headset without the loop (I have been spoiled by Plantronics.) The earpiece and the size of this earpiece allow me to wear the piece securely without the earloop if I choose to (and I do).
4. The sound was great. I tested it on calls with a few people, and none noted any problem. They said I sounded like "me". On my end, the sound was awesome. Because the earpiece fits so well in my ear, the sound is the best I've gotten out of an earpiece.
5. The desktop charger and carrier are easy to use. The magnetic connections are wonderful, and the carrying case makes transport easy. There is no doubt about connection. No fumbline in the dark wondering which way is up with these type connections. Simple!
6. The pocket connection accessory is a great idea, thus saving a person from wearing the headset in the ear all day long. The two connecting prongs add to the feeling of security when the piece is connected this way.
CON: My only complaint thus far is that, at 5 hours, I wish the talk time had been longer. Although I don't engage in the marathon conversations that I used to, I want to know that my headset won't die on me before the day is out if I need to have long conversations. We'll see how it handles it when the occasion arises.
At $119.99, the price was a bit much, but an instant $20 rebate convinced me to try the headset. I'm glad that I did.
