I purchased this on december 2007, and now we'll get in to 2010, and it's been great about this blue tooth, I was just surprised about the price now, I bought it when it was $ 30.38 ( including shipping fee ), so I guess I was lucky.
This headset sounds fine for the user although the speach recognition on my LG phone is sometimes iffy depending on surroundings. The real problem is the headset's total lack of shielding between the speaker and microphone. 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. While this is a common problem with the less expensive BT headsets, it is QUITE pronounced on this particular unit.
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.
I purchased this to use with my LG VX-8500. 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. So far so good. 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. Easy to set up and use. "Even a cave man could use it"
I even went to the trouble of bringing one of my phones into Verizon to update to the latest V03 software. Sadly I've discovered great inconsistencies with Bluetooth headsets. That didn't help. This LG HBM-300 failed to function properly with either of my two LG VX8300 phones. 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. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a sure fire headset to phone matching methodology.
