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

    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
