    Updated:11-12-06

    Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

    Strengths: Good sound quality; small size; easy pairing process

    Weaknesses: Problems with PC connections; flimsy plastic; not very comfortable earpiece and earhook.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this headset to use with Skype and other VOIP programs. The pairing process was easy and fast. I'd started to use it immediately and in my first call after 10 min the other party stopped hear me. At the beginning I'd thought the problem is bad headset, but after few trying I discovered that Windows sound manager trying to adjust microphone volume and completely mute microphone after 5-10 min of conversation. I don't know why ? probably because of high mic volume or because some sudden noises that this headsets creates. More important, I was unable to shut off this auto adjustment and right now I am unable to use it with VOIP. So at the end I have working bluetooth headset but can't use it. ( I bought a new headset Iogear GBE 211 and I have the same problem there. Platronics Voyager don't have this problem and work good. So I'm changing my rating to 4 stars).

    Strengths: Very lightweight. Strong volume. Good noise-cancelling. Long make/model compatibility list. Long battery life. Inexpensive for quality/features. In ear design.

    Weaknesses: In ear design. Ear hook pops off easily. Battery dies with no warning tones.

    Overall Evaluation: Did LOTS of research for BT headsets for the finicky Treo 650. Call quality, range, pairing & volume are real problems for the 650. The Jabra JX-10 kept coming up as a strong leader for top 650 honors, however the Ez Talker Mini also reviewed strong albeit less frequently. The price was also 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the Jabra. Bought one to try, then my wife saw it, thought it was cute, liked the super light weight of it & wanted to try it. I've never been able to get back since. Now she thinks her genuine Palm Treo BT headset is junk compared to the Tekkeon. Back to Palm it goes. I have to order another Tekkeon again for me. Very easy to use generally, some of the more advanced features have button combinations that can be difficult to remember but, not tragic. Good instruction book. The unit is almost too light, it can easily get lost in purse or pocket. My wife doesn't like to wear the headset eargel in her ear all day. She say it isn't comfortable, I don't have an issue with it. You can just pop it out of the ear canal hanging on the earhook, then when a call comes in push it in for strong volume. Good noise-cancelling circuit. Used it at a very loud and noisy tradeshow and it worked terrific. Good earpiece volume & callers said that after the first couple seconds of loud background noise they thought I walked out of the show floor to a quiet space. The only thing that gave it away was my talking louder so I could hear myself talk, impressive. Range is decent, not great. But that may be more a 650 issue. Overall, VERY pleased with a great little product from a company you never heard of. Plus you can find it cheap if you look. Great value. Buy one you won't be disappointed. Would really rate it 4.9 stars.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Compact, lightweight, clear sound quality, and easy to put on with ear hook

    Weaknesses: impossible to put without ear hook, can work on the design

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first bluetooth headset and I never been more satisfied. The sound quality is great, it's lightweight, and easy to set up with your other bluetooth devices. Although, I'm not really sure why it gives a beeping noise once in a while when I'm not using it (my phone is K700i Sony Ericsson). All in all, it's nothing compared to its performance and value. If you're like me looking at many reviews to decide on which blueetooth to purchase, look no further, this is the one that will satisfy you and easy on your pocket.

    Duration of ownership:3 Weeks

    Strengths: Small and lightweight, low price, good audio quality, long battery life

    Weaknesses: Plastic earpieces need continual adjustment

    Overall Evaluation: Great, low cost Bluetooth headset! For the price its actually unbelievable. Comfortable and one of the lightest headsets available. The battery life is amazing-only charged twice in 3 weeks! Moderate wind or a noisy room will affect voice interefence, of course! But its clarity and distance between phone and headset are better than expected (+30ft). Cell phone settings must be adjusted as well as the ear pieces, but you need to do that with any headset. Quick pickup of calls from cell (sometimes I'm not ready yet) and voice recognition is adequate, seldom repeating neccessary.

    Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

    Strengths: Small, lightweight, fits snug, pairs easily, fair price.

    Weaknesses: Voice recognition not so great with my phone.Heavily affected by background noise.

    Overall Evaluation: I got this earpiece because of all the great reviews I read on multiple sights. I have it paired with a LG-VX8100. For this product to work effectively you have to be in a place with no background noise, even walking will generate enough wind for the person on the other side not to understand what you are saying. I have been told I sound like a robot or I cannot be understood at all. This is my first bluetooth headset so maybe I'm being a bit harsh but I expected more. In the car the engine noise is enough for voice recognition to work incorrectly. It's good enough for what I need it for which is pretty much just to avoid getting tickets in the car for being on my cell phone. Would I buy it again? I guess but only because I don't have faith in the more expensive ones working much better.

    Overall Evaluation: i've had this for about a week. it works great w/ my audiovox smt5600. although it's an "in the ear" type, it's still comfortable. the sound quality it very good & it's capable of being very loud. i've had the cardo scala 500, & the tekkeon is a step above.

    Overall Evaluation: Lost my first Tekkeon and have tried replacing with Motorola and Jabra comparables. No doubt Tekkeon is the best fit with clear connection. Ordering a second and whoever found my Tekkeon is very lucky.
