Good Points

Innovative design. Comfortable. Broad set of features. AAA battery and phone charger tips are simply genius.


Bad Points

Only one....the most basic and MOST important. Poor outgoing sound quality.


General Comments

I am a gadget junkie and this is my fourth Bluetooth headset. The included adapter tips seemed a godsend for road warriors who spend considerable time trying to reduce/combine cables and chargers lugged around. Controls and features are simple and easy to learn yet comprehensive and useful. But what good is all this if the person you're talking to can't here you for all the background noise? I'm not sure if I'm expecting something that hasn't been invented yet but the Discovery 640 does NOT perform well with moderate to high background noise. I've used it with several different phone models with the same results. Those who believe it does well must not be using it when it is most useful, while driving on the freeway or working with your hands. Still waiting for the holy grail.......

    I would agree with these comments about sound quality.. Most people can't hear me very well due to background noise cancelling out my voice too! Gel ear piece is a little troublesome... one size is too large, the other too small and both sizes keep falling out of my ear.

    I have been using this for a year and would not recommend it if you are in the car a lot!!
