“Could you use it with just one ear piece in? I often have to work with just one in so i can hear questions from my coworkers. With the rigid piece behind the neck i'm wondering if that would be possible or it if would just pull the other side out?”

My experience has been that I am able to use the wireless headset with manageable effort with only a single ear piece in place. My ears are small and so ear buds do not work well for me. This is part of the reason I chose the Plantronics - BackBeat Fit wireless head set. The ear buds are comfortable but, are supported and stay in place from the behind the ear piece as well. The earbud and behind the ear piece along with the behind the neck are all one piece which is a nice design. I work out with a trainer,and often leave one ear piece out which allows me to hear the music and my trainer at the same time. If I'm doing high-impact activity this doesn't work to well, but, for squats, dumbbells, it is fine. With both ear pieces in place, it's very difficult to hear persons speaking to me or other noise. This is a great feature in my opinion because that's my intention to block everything out and listen to my music. if my music volume is lowered, I can make out conversations if I'm looking straight at a person. I'm also able to answer calls while working out using my headset. This has been an added bonus and easy to use. I hope this helps. John
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The piece behind the neck isn't rigid. Several times I have taken one out and let it rest on my shoulder. I imagine if you're moving around a lot that it might eventually swing that one around enough so that it might fall out of the other ear. But if your doing something where you're not swinging your head around a lot, I think it would be fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Of course, this is like any other headset. But know, that you will not hear all the instruments that make a song complete. So as long as you expect this, go for it!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a similar situation and while I haven't yet had the opportunity to use it in this manner, the piece behind the neck is not rigid at all but is quite flexible and I anticipate being able to just drape one bud over the ear without actually inserting it and therefore being able to hear outside sound.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its flexible enough to move, I never had it in that position for a long time so dont know how comfortable it would be
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They stay in really good. I put mine on just to see and pulled one out and let it hang. The other one stayed in really good. I just don't know how much you'd like it flopping around. It's not rigid and it will hang. It's also long enough drape over your shoulder (just a little bit) on the same side it would be worn. You could switch ears from time to time if you ever get tired of listening to one ear. Not the best use in my opinion but it would certainly work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The fit would make that difficult.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The back part is not rigid. I just put one piece in my ear to make sure it would work as you described and it does. the other earpiece just hangs down. It is very secure around my ear.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The back piece is not that rigid, I do that all the time too and the other side usually stays on my shoulder/neck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The part behind your neck is not rigid, it is pliable and rubbery. It it's very light weight and can hang securely from one ear.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
