Third day with my SoundiD 300...awesome.

Simple, easy to use, very, VERY clear sound (and I need that because my hearing is deteriorating). I have even had a few friends comment on the clarity of my calls with this headset. That hasn't happened since Jabra introduced the 800 (first BT set w/DSP).

The only issue at this point is that it died last night, mid-conversation, without so much as a warning tone or any audible alert to low battery. Perhaps I'll scan the instructions: I may have missed something re. low battery.

So, the JB2 is definitely "off-ear" and the HD30 is on!

Dan: Thanks for the review, been on the fence up until now. I've got a 20% off accessories discount on the device, but I gotta wait until the $100 price shows up on the website. Odd corporate policy, but hey, money is money.

Dan,

Thanks for that information. We have a fairly common headset background – if you will. I am now using the Jawbone2 with their new earbuds (a copy of the SoundId concept).

The new JB2 earbuds are close – but I am off to the ATT store to grab an HD300 because – well, SoundId nailed the fit thing a while ago.

Heh. I think my last comment came off as a bit of a whinge, but I'm kicking myself for getting the Earset last month and not waiting for this. I've wanted this since it was announced (a year ago!) and I could've waited a bit more. I like the form factor – similar to my previous favorite, a Nokia headset that was way too soft. Got the Earset because it was supposed to be the loudest headset around. Too bad it's also probably the most fiddly to put on. The Sound ID sounds like a really good piece of kit. Guess the Earset is going on ebay…

I have a Plantronics I don't use as much as I should because … it isn't comfortable! I will definitely look at this one, but the price is a bit high for me.

Richard-
I have used a number of different Jabra headsets, the original Jawbone (had three in a row break and gave up after the third), Plantronics Voyager 855, iVoice baby Ai (good sounding but not nearly as comfortable), Etymotic etyBlU (good sounding but not nearly as comfortable), a number of Sony Ericson headsets and the Apple bluetooth headset.
For the most part I have been using the Jabra SP700 speakerphone in the car since none of the headsets worked as well for me… until now. The fact that this headset sits in my ear so securely, is so very comfortable and sounds as good as it does has really surprised me. At least thusfar, it appears to be a no-compromise headset.

This is a great review – because I mostly care that a headset sounds good (on both ends of the call) stays put and is comfortable.

I had the SoundID 100 and loved it.

I wonder, Dan, what other headsets you have used.

Ray- just tried it- 1 second, 1 hand, no prob.

(Sorry, in light of your comment I suspect the better answer for you would have been- “Impossibly inconvenient…”)

Urgh. I wanted to get this but it was taking forever to be released so I bought the Bang & Olufsen Earset2 instead…

Quick question: How easy is it to put this on and get it to fit perfectly? Can you do it with one hand?
