Customer Rating:      Summary: Can you hear me now? Comment: This is my first Bluetooth. For the money I think it serves its purpose, however I find the item difficult to stay on my ear and I wish the volume went a little higher.
Customer Rating:      Summary: BT2010 is a peice of junk - save your money and buy another one! Comment: Hi,
I had total of 2 of these headsets and I actually liked the headset at first because of the way it fit my ear, which was very tight and sturdy.
The very first one that I bought I had troubles to get it connected to my phone right away, which what I thought at first could be a compatibility issue with my phone, even though my previous headset (Motorola H375 - see my review about it) NEVER had this types of connectivity issues (but it did have some durability issues of it's own). So after playing around with it I ended up doing a hard reset on my phone, after which I was able to finally get it connected. I've been using this headset for about 3 months, during which I had some connection issues every now and then, but I was always able to get it resolved each time after playing around with the settings and the phone, which in some cases took quite a while. Anyways, the last month the connections issues started happening more and more often and one day my phone wouldn't see the headset at all. I tried my old cell phone and my wife's cell phone to recognize the headset, but neither one would "see" it, even though the headset itself seemed to power up and making appropriate sounds as if it was in a pairing mode.
Ok, I thought maybe it was my bad luck with getting a defective piece, so, since I REALLY liked the durability and fit of this particular headset, I went online and ordered another brand new headset just like this. The story with this one was that it would power up but none of my phones would be able to recognize it from the very beginning after I received it, so I am sending this 2nd one back for a refund and looking for another substitute in the meantime.
Even though I really liked the way it fit my ear, I will not waste another dollar or a minute of my time trying to get one of these to work. For all these reasons I do not recommend anyone to buy it. Try something else and hopefully you will have a better luck with it. Cheers!
Customer Rating:      Summary: So So Comment: Im a firm believer in you get what you pay for. This device does do the job, it connects to the phone, and its able to transfer. It takes some playing with in order for it to sit in the ear properly. But it was inexpensive, and when it is fully charged I am able to get it to work well. Overall I would buy it again, just not with such high expectations.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Doesnt work too well with K750i Comment: It just doesnt work very well with K750i - I had a friend's Jawbone and it used to seamlessly connect, reconnect whenever I moved in an out of range.
This one drops connection arbitrarily - and it is impossible to reconnect unless I reboot my phone.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good value for moderate usage Comment: I have only used for a couple of days. My application is with a Samsung A640 phone.
In the car, I simply had to turn the volume up two steps to overcome the ambient noise. The audio quality seemed equivalent to my phone. With the headset in my right ear, I tried positioning the phone in my left pants pocket, my shirt pocket, and the center console. There was no perceived degradation in the quality of the signal.
At home, I pushed the distance limits a bit more. While charging my phone, I walked to different parts of the house. Sound quality was acceptable until I was about 20 feet away with a wall in-between. I never lost the signal, but it crackled a bit.
My previous headset was a wired Jabra with the ear gels. While Jabra does not advertise such, I found that the ear gel fits reasonably well onto the BT2010 earpiece. I liked using the ear gel better than the over-the-ear clip. Your head may vary. I wore the headset this way for over 6 hours, which is probably the limit for my comfort.
This a very light-weight, simple, inexpensive, and effective solution for somebody that just wants to turn it on and go. A single charge lasted for over 6 hours of talk time, plus some standby time, before indicating that it was low.
The charger connector has the shape of a USB "B" (smaller) connector. I have not confirmed if it would take a charge by connecting to a PC, though.
