BATTERY LIFE - I am on calls much of the workday. I’ve been using this headset 3-5 times a week, for multiple hours at a time with no issues for about a month. Many days I have been on the phone for over 8 hours, though probably never had the headset on for more than 5-5.5 (hours) without at least 30 minutes on the charger during a break. At this point I can’t speak to the long term use of the unit, but early battery performance has been fantastic!COMFORT - One of the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever worn. Some may prefer dual earpieces, but I actually favor those that have only one. While I typically where it over the same ear, I can easily switch from side to side if needed.SOUND QUALITY - The audio is crisp and clear and the headset has great range! I am able to go anywhere in my house, yard and to the mailbox with no degradation or interruption in audio sound or quality.EASE OF USE - All I had to do was plug it in and my conf call program automatically recognized it - no special installation or configuration required. The headset itself has an easy to locate mute button right on the earpiece, which is great if you are walking about. (I tend to pace when I think!). Volume controls are also on the headset, though I must admit I never seem to hit the one I want first time.PORTABILITY - It breaks down fairly easily and goes in the original box with a little patience, but I don’t think it was designed for travel and am concerned that snapping the headset apart and together will eventually prove problematic or it will get damaged in transit.MISC - One thing that may be annoying to some is that when on mute there is an intermittent “tone” that sounds. I think I’ve gotten so used to it I don’t even hear it now. On one hand it could be distracting if you concentrated on it; on the other it does serve as a reminder that mute is on. The cradle indictes clearly when you are muted, but you can’t tell by the headset alone - a small indicator light on that would be a nice add on for the future.SUMMARY - I am very happy with the purchase and the price was reasonable. This is a great little headset and I’ve recommended it to peers. I actually like it so much I am considering purchasing a second one to leave at my alternate office so I don’t need to keep taking this one apart. However, even with a fair price it may just not be a fiscally sensible choice at this time to buy a second.***July 2019 update***16 months (give or take) since my first review and I am back to support the initial 5 stars I gave it overall.I really am very impressed with the battery life and durability of this headset. It’s been much mor reliable in sound quality and holding charge compared to the much pricey headset from work. And I find it far more comfortable! As I indicated in my first review, I spend several hours a day on the phone and it’s held up throughout. Still very pleased with my purchase and I know the sound quality from my end is good as others have asked about it when they were in the market. I always recommend!
