Strengths: Very clever recharging base (a battery in the shape of a tube that is recharged itself via the usb charger).
Weaknesses: Easy to misplace, due to its small size.
Summary: The unit works well and pairs easily with devices. However, I would not recommend this for someone that travels frequently or will remove the device from his or her ear frequently. It is so small that I lost it twice on the first day. Only by keeping it docked into its lipstick sized recharging base am I able to keep from losing it.

Strengths: Tiny! Charging dock allows you to charge even when you are away from an electrical outlet/car charger. The charging dock also makes it easier to find, since the ear piece alone is so small.
Weaknesses: Microphone sound quality is absolutely horrible.
Summary: I really wanted to like this headset, but the bad sound quality is a deal breaker. Speaker quality is fine --- you will be able to hear everything well (after all, the thing is lodged in your ear canal), but nobody can hear what you are saying. I like my older, cheaper Motorola headset (over the ear design), so I thought this one would be even better. Don't waste your money. I had to go back to my other bluetooth headset. Great idea, but this one still needs some work.

Strengths: comfortable in the ear with the different choices of ear fittings.Easy to use voice commands. Very clear sound light weight
Weaknesses: blocks out outside sound in whatever ear you wear it in. Low battery time.
Summary: I find it a very comfortable product to use very light weight you can forget you have it on The control buttons are easy to get to and receiving a call is just a matter of taping the button. It could use a longer talk time without having to recharge from the base which is awkward to carry.

Strengths: Small, discreet and good sound.
Weaknesses: Microphone location not good for everyday noise environments. Picks up ALL sound besides voice. A bone conduction mic would've been ideal here.
Summary: This earphone had lots of promise when I first read all the reviews. But, the reviews did not speak to the utter weakness of the microphone. The mic points outward, away from your mouth thereby, it picks up every sound but your voice. Others I would call had an exceedingly difficult time understanding me above the ambient noise. Even in quiet environments people said that I sounded like I was talking through a cardboard tube. I'm not happy with the overall performance.

Strengths: Clear, small, and looks cool.
Weaknesses:
Summary: This is one of the best Bluetooth Headsets ever! Even though its extremly tiny it is clear as day. Even people you call will not even be able to tell your using a bluetooth headset. This portable charging base is also small, yet powerful. The battery life is amazing...over 20 days of standby time, no other bluetooth headset can produce that. Over all it is one of the best purchases you will make.

Strengths: small, long lasting charge
Weaknesses: muffiled sound to others
Summary: Great concept. Small and has a long lasting charge. Main problem that I had was that the people I was talking to, sometimes complained that they were not able to understand my voice clearly. They commented that it sometimes sounded muffiled. over all I have had a good experience iwith it. Only 1 out of 10 times does someone complain.Fits in ear tightly, easy to hear people.
