I bought this item on seeing many positive reviews here and on other sites. I liked the design, easy access to keys and ability to charge the device in a different ways.As advertised the device connected effortlessly to my LG VX8300 (Verizon) phone.Unfortunately, the voice reception quality was very poor. I had to speak in a very loud voice -- even in a quiet room -- for it to correctly transmit my voice to the phone. In the car with the windows rolled up and radio turned off -- I was unable to get it to pick up what I said.The ear clip design is poor and my piece became loose within a day of use.I may have received a defective piece -- since my negative review appears to be an outlier. I wanted to share my experience for the benefit of people purchasing this item.
