Jabra EarWave Corded Headset - Compatible with 3.5mm and 2.5mm Phones

After I ordered I was a bit worried seeing some of the reviews, which were inconsistent with my brand experience. I just received and tried two of these. Sound is perfect both received and delivered. It is not an articulated earpiece like the $100 rotating models, so yes, you will break it if you stubbornly try to twist it. Just slide your earlobe into it and you’re done. Also, the mic doesn’t need to be near your mouth for the other party to hear you, it is fine where it is. I’m surprised I have to repeat these things. Anyway, I’m glad my worries were unfounded. Great, clear sound received, and recorder at the other end of the line (from microphone).

Used with my land line phone. Sound was great, but like others I had previously bought, the curved ear piece split. Previous ones had lasted for a few months. This one, however, didn't make it one month. I'm an older woman who was not abusive to this head set. Frustrating!

UPDATE: It only lasted five months, then snapped in two.I liked this headset. It fits okay, but not great, however for my needs, it's okay. I like that it doesn't go over the head with a headband, only uses one ear, and can be placed on either ear. It could be improved with a better fitting earpiece as the ones provided do not seal in the ear, they mostly just aim the sound into the ear but do not block out any ambient noise. The sound is clear, but thin and tinny sounding, but It's just for speaking and not music. The included 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter works well. I tried it with my MacBook Pro and my iPhone with great results. There is a small button on the underside of the boom that activates Seri on the MBP, on the iPhone I can just say "hey Seri" and it works. I did try the headset on my Motorola Talkabout walkie-talkies and it does not work as I'm guessing the wiring is different to the pins for that device. I'm mostly using it for Zoom on my MBP, so I'm happy with it. I didn't want a headset that used bluetooth as that requires battery maintenance over the life of the product. I bought a second one to have as a backup because the wires are quite thin on this and may not last. I'll probably keep one in the car and the other at my desk. It was good product at a great price, but I'll look for something a bit more durable.

Insofar as using the headset on a cordless phone, it's adequate. The earpiece is comfortable, but at times I am unable to hear someone and am then forced to press it into the ear and hold it in place in order to hear them better (i.e., it's not a snug fit). I found that people cannot hear me if THEY'RE using a headset (e.g., if you're calling a business). People using bluetooths don't have a problem hearing me.The 3-Star rating is because It absolutely does not work with cell phones, which is what I was also looking for in a headset; the adapter fits properly but nothing happens. I've had 3 of these headsets (one of which stopped working after a month or so)-and I tried 3 different cell phones with each of their adapters, but none worked. Would I buy it again? I'm kinda stuck--compared to others, if you don't want an over-the-head headset, it has the best over-the-ear piece design available and it's reasonably priced.

My husband has been wanting a corded earpiece because he doesn't like having to recharge a wireless Bluetooth device every night when he gets home from work. He drives for a living and being CDL licensed he is legally not able to talk on the phone while driving unless he has a hands-free device. I spend many hours researching different ear pieces and I decided on this one. I was still skeptical when I placed my order because it seems just about every earpiece on the market received mixed reviews. I am very pleased with the quality of this earpiece. It does everything it promises. It is easy to hear my husband when he calls me and uses it and he said that people on the other end of the line are easy for him to hear. The earpiece also stays in place nicely. It does everything that my husband needed it to do, so we couldn't be happier.

The headset looks sturdy, feels sturdy, but the one I received does not work well. The 2nd time I used the headset on a call, the person on other side of the call could not hear me, said I sound very far away. It's a shame because I heard them clearly. Experienced the same thing the 3rd and 4th time I made calls.Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Yeah, sadly, I will have to return the item.

There is no way to swivel the earbud to get it to stay in my ear; there is no human ear that looks like that, so it is not comfortable for more than a few minutes - but none of that matters, since everyone I spoke to using the device said I sounded like I was in a fishbowl! Not a very good piece of equipment, and since it came in a plastic bag with no instructions, I'm very unhappy with it.

Hi quality sound, fits comfortably over and into the ear-well. It's a workhorse! The one that just died had performed for years -- and I used it for both work and personal calls. If you have a small ear-well, recommend this over the EarBoom because the earbuds just aren't small enough.I prefer this style very much over a head-band, which gets uncomfortable after a while and messes with my hair.

I'd like the old fashioned design. Hard to get this nowadays. But the quality is poor like a returned item, sold second time.

damaged product - I was out travelling and could not check on time and lot return time
