    I have been using this product for years. With my hearing loss and hearing aids this is the perfect design. I lost my last one (same design) after many years of service. I was glad to find this one on the shelf with only the flexible ear piece cover having one design as a change.

    I bought a cheaper one just to get by with. It hurt my ear and volume quality was bad. I should've bought this one first for a few dollars more. Comfortable for most of the day, the phone app is good. The Find My Headset app sound is too low to really hear unless you're real close to it. Overall, it's a good buy.

    This item is okay. I feel like people can't hear me as well when I use this device. Long battery life though. I can use it for a week until I have to charge it again.

      That may be an issue with the headset or with the connection between the headset and phone. You might want to try resetting the Bluetooth connection between your phone and headset to see if that helps the issue. To do so: 1. Delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices. 2. Once deleted, power your phone completely off, then power it back on. This resets the Bluetooth stack in the Bluetooth software on the phone. 3. Re-pair the headset with your phone and test. If the issue is the same we recommend testing the device with another phone to determine if it's on the phone or headset. If the issue persists even on a different phone we can replace that device, it comes with a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase.

    I purchased this bluetooth earpiece for work so Its connected for 9hrs a day and my only gripe is the battery does not last as long as my old LG actives. Also my Warhol is not big enough for the speaker.
