A Closer Look:
Before I dive into the review
did you ever wonder where the name Bluetooth originated from? Well, let's wiki it and see, "Bluetooth was named after a late tenth century king, Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark and Norway. He is known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark (including now Swedish Scania, where the Bluetooth technology was invented), and Norway. Bluetooth likewise was intended to unify different technologies, such as personal computers and mobile phones." ~wikipedia.org
This headset is available in two color options; Black/Silver, Black/Black and while styling is nice it's rather boxy and plain. Certainly not a sleek and slender as some bluetooth headsets on the market. This is a very small product, it's 1.57 x 0.44 x 0.70 (inches) and weights only 9 grams (.32oz). This is smaller than many other bluetooth headsets. This is important because you don't want something godly and to heavy hanging off your ear.
At the front is the call handling button which is what you press to place or receive a call. Also at the front in a small indicator LED which flashes blue when in normal operating mode. This LED turns red at startup, shutdown and when it's connecting to a bluetooth capable device. On the left side is the volume up and volume down. At the top is the charging point and at the bottom is the microphone. On the back is a sticker showing model #, serial, # and more.
 
 
In pictures below you can see how the ear hook is attached to the headset. It just snaps onto the back ear post. This is seemingly a very simple design, but it works really well. I've ran around with this headset in my ear and it stays in place.
