Cingular Go Phone: Jensen JTH960 Behind the Neck Telephone Headset Review

I purchased this with high expectations based on the reviews below, however, I'd have to say I'm disappointed with the product.While the wrap-around band kept the headset in one position (much better than an ear bud), I had to take it off after 15 minutes because it was hurting the outside of my ear.

For me, there are four main deficiencies in the design.

1. The "padding" of the plastic on the earpiece is thin, rigid, high-density foam, perhaps only 1/8" thick.It really doesn't pad much at all.I'm looking into modifying it with an old headphone ear pad.

2. The band itself is pretty rigid, not allowing for adjustment.In fact, there are no available adjustments - if you have a small noggin, the band will extend back behind your head a bit, and if you have a large melon, the band will be tight against the back of your head.I have a 7-1/4 hat size (pretty average) and it almost touched the back of my head.

3. There is no volume control on the cord, and the maximum volume is a bit weak.

4. The earpiece is only available for the left ear - it cannot be used on the right ear.

On the plus side, it does seem very durable, and the boom microphone is just the right length and size.As I mentioned, I may try modifying it, but on freeways the road noise is too strong to overcome the weak volume.
