I'd rather spend $120 and get a motorola h5 miniblue that picks up vibrations in your ear canal for speech and subsequently cancels out all ambient noise.

Avoid the stupid wireless mic, sound profile, "enhancement options", and save a few hundred dollars.

Avoid crappy grey plastic that doesnt match with your cell phone too.

You say gramps, but you fail to mention the legions of teens who's only goal in life seems to be to bust their ears to bits before they hit 20. You know who i'm talking about, that guy, whos iPod you can hear from halfway across the street playing MAD TeKn0 Beetz.

The headset to headset functionality is a great option for people who need to communicate across small areas who dont want a stupid walkie and giant headset. But for the love of god, 250 bucks!!

Will this finally be the BT headset that works well inside, outside, wherever? Maybe its too many Grateful Dead concerts that have affected my hearing (they've affected other parts of me for sure).

The potential for pairing with either their remote mic or another of their BT headsets presents some really cool possibilities. If only Patricia Dunn had put one in Keyworth's suit pocket perhaps she could have avoided the whole pretexting thing??? More realistically, climbing partners, two people on a motorcycle (if the mic will pick up sound with the padding of a helmet in the way), etc.

I wonder if this qualifies as "Durable Medical Equipment" in my insurance company's eyes - like the knee brace I have to wear skiing. That would knock the cost down a bit. The cost listed does seem high, but if its 3x as durable as a standard BT headset, plus it provides notably better sound quality (I've yet to find one I'm happy with), maybe I can come up with some sort of justification for the price. I guess I'll have to try one out.

@citizen.lambda

I dont think this product is marketed at the 20 something crowd playing loud music.

Anyways I would rather listen to my "MAD TeKn0 Beetz" on a pair of Grado RS-1 headphones.

1- I tried it. Won't work in my range. Squeals like a squirrel when you amp it up. Please put this technology together with a real hearing aid. If you can't do that yourself find a partner.
2- Need a model with a directional mic, as you can't put the lapel thing on every body in a meeting. Hide it next to an extended microphone.
3- The design is not really all that chic. Look at what else is out there and hire a designer if need be.
4- to make it sleeker move the electronics away from the hear and let user park it on their belt or some where else on their body. All you need at the ear is the receiver and microphone.

1- I use it and loved the lapel mic.. Please put this technology together with a real hearing aid, I know there are thousands probably millions that really want and need this. Having my wife wair it was fantastic. My parents both would love it. 2- Come up with a model with a directional mic that every body in a meeting could use and us older CEO's would love it also.
3- We don't need another blue tooth on our ear let the user put it on their belt or some where else on their body. connect it to a hearing aid in the ear or behind the ear type.
4- If you do that I would not only be interested in buying but also investing in the company that does it.
