There is even a method for finding the misplaced headset by use of turning the volume up and down on the cellphone,and in response the headset lets its location be known by sound, but I haven't yet tried this. The sound quality is consistently good, but the real benefit of this headset is the buttons that allow for speed dialing the 3 most commonly called people as well as redialing and voice activated address book. overall I am very satisfied with the Cardo. I've been using bluetooth headsets for several years now and have been happy with some and not so with others. The new Cardo at a very low price of $16 is the best by far.
Too bad. I was excited to receive this since it had so much promise, but it wouldn't even charge. Highly recommend the Jabra. I got a Jabra BT8040 Bluetooth Headset instead. I did put it on my ear and kept it on for about 30 minutes. The "wirehanger" hook is actually pretty comfortable and I loved it's simplicity.
and this Cardo is much better. This has to be the best value in a headset there is.My last headset was the very small expensive Jabra, BT800 or something for about $120. Buy a couple. This headset is an absolute steal at the price.Only two problems.Whenever you turn it on, the volume is set at full loudness, which is really loud, and you have to toggle the dial 6 or seven times to get the volume down to a manageable level. Also, the earpiece is slightly too larage for my ear, and tends to slide out, but no big deal.
For some reason they do not work as well with my HTC Diamond. I registerd the product and for a week have been emaling support and calling Cardo attemtping to get help.
So I'll be throwing the defective Cardo away after 3 months and looking for a headset that works. I cannot get anyone to respond.
I bought two of these in August 2008. Now, three months after purchase, one of them will no longer charge using the Cardo wall charger that came with the unit or the USB charger.
I will probably buy somwhere other than Amazon so that I can return the device if it stops working. They worked quite well with my Treo 800w and a Sanyo phone.
People keep complaining that I am cutting out and they have trouble hearing me.
airport and the sound volume is poor as the unit does not fully insert into my ear canal. Even while driving the headset fitment is poor enough to cause me to have to switch to a corded headset or to again push the cardo into my ear to hear well enough. It is small and the buttons are simple to use and far enough apart that my big fat fingers don't press what they aren't supposed to.
I emailed Cardo and they said there are no other ear buds/pieces for this unit. Geeze I just cringe at the thought of spending over a $100 for the Aliph(). So the price was okay and the size is nice and compact but unless the thing sits in your ear properly or you can find other ear buds to help fit it properly the volume for me is quite low (yes even when I'm not at the airport) and I find myself holding the Cardo with my index finger into my ear.
The Cardo S-800 is the first attempt into the hands free Bluetooth headset realm. Messing with the "coat hanger" ear piece does nothing to help with volume. and just hope thast it's better.
I work inside a U.S. When I push the Cardo S-800 into my ear a bit it is plenty loud enough.
