The real problem is the headset's total lack of shielding between the speaker and microphone. While this is a common problem with the less expensive BT headsets, it is QUITE pronounced on this particular unit. This headset sounds fine for the user although the speach recognition on my LG phone is sometimes iffy depending on surroundings. The audio from the speaker apparently leaks into the microphone circuit so that the person on the other end hears everything they say echoed back to them.
I admit, most of the time this nice little headset sits at the bottom of my purse, but it's great and handy when I do need it. I have had no compatability issues with my LG Fusic, and it has a pretty good range to it as well.
Does tend to flop around on face a bit but i use a small piece of surgical tape on the back side to secure in place. Audio quality is good, Volume could be louder and the range is around 40 ft inside and up to 100 ft outside with no obstructions. "Even a cave man could use it" I purchased this to use with my LG VX-8500. So far so good. Easy to set up and use.
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a sure fire headset to phone matching methodology. I even went to the trouble of bringing one of my phones into Verizon to update to the latest V03 software. With either phone it had a horrible echo for the person calling me.I found it quite shocking that this LG headset would not work flawlessly with a relatively new LG phone. It still echoed.Searching Google has yielded an assortment of headset echo problems with various headsets and phones. Sadly I've discovered great inconsistencies with Bluetooth headsets. This LG HBM-300 failed to function properly with either of my two LG VX8300 phones. That didn't help.
It is very ergonomic and comforable for my ear, with very sleek and simple lines. Having used many others from Motorola and some other companies, this LG bluetooth works the best with my VX8300. I am very happy with my purchase and the service from Amazon.
