    This is a very good headset been around for years they don't need to change a thing the only issue I have is the magnet that is actually a USB that you can clip it onto your shirt when you're not using it you don't have to walk around with it in your ear all the time looks stupid you just have to be careful losing the magnetic USB other than that very good product

      Posted .

      Our bluetooth headsets should have a range of 10 to 33 feet in direct line of sight. If its not reaching that range it may be an issue with the headset or 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 can replace that device. You can use the following url to view our replacement steps.
