    Headset is very nice. Just wish it was a wee bit louder than what it is. Otherwise it's great all-around!

    Easy to pair, use and turn on and off. Good sound and no complaints from the peopleI'm speaking with. Also, it stays locked in ear nicely and doesn't fall out.

    Kept dropping phone 2 on multipoint connection. Didn’t matter which phone I had connected. Volume was not loud enough for me. But was comfortable. Talk time would charge to 6 hrs but would not last that long. Swapped for M95 it’s fantastic. 11 hrs. Loud and comfortable
