Manufacturer description

Optimized for BlackBerry devices and compatible with all Bluetooth enabled mobile phones, the ultra-light and comfortable BlackBerry HS-655 Bluetooth Headset uses cutting-edge technology from Plantronics to deliver clear, secure communication. The headset supports 128-bit encryption to ensure the privacy of your phone calls. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology maximizes sound quality and reduces background noise, ensuring your voice is transmitted clearly, even in loud environments. Its sleek design includes a discreet contoured earpiece and a carrying pocket that clips conveniently to your BlackBerry carrying case or shirt pocket for easy transport. Soft-gel ear tips in three sizes provide a personalized fit, and an ear hook offers added stability. The pocket case vibrates with each incoming call, while the headset controls volume and mute options, allows you to answer calls and supports voice-activated dialing and last number redial. And with the freedom to roam up to 33 feet from your device while talking on your headset, you can multitask with ease. Designed to integrate with the BlackBerry Authentic Accessories portfolio, this advanced headset can be charged in the BlackBerry Power Station or with any BlackBerry Travel Charger, USB Cable or Automotive Charger so you can always travel light.

The Perfect Bluetooth for your BB! PERIOD!

Pros: Vibrates and tone in ear, auto answer when removed from the sleeve, don't have to keep it in your ear, charges using same mini-usb as BB, very comfortable in your ear

Cons: Rubberized ear-piece comes off fairly easily if you put it in your bag or something, sometimes it loses connect just before answering call (could be my phones fautl, not sure)

Review: This is THE BEST headset I've ever used. The sleeve you can attach to your pocket and the earpiece stays in the sleeve. When your phone rings the entire sleeve vibrates and light blinks on headset. Then you pull the earpiece out and it automatically answers/connects to the phone. When you're done talking you put the earpiece back in the sleeve. Simple, comfortable and GREAT sound quality.
