Yes, several people did purchase it because they wrote me to ask for my notes on how the controls were laid out, and for my text copy of the user guide.

It’s soft and comfortable, and you just push it in until it’s far enough to hold itself (so, nothing like Apple ear buds is what I’m saying). They give you a medium and a small set of tips. I usually take cell calls, and work with Siri, with just one inserted, and only use both when I’m listening to music.

I was employed at the time my wife picked it out, and she did so because it looks very professional (I have since retired); she liked the look of it far more than one which sits in your ear, or the bone conduction ones which sit on your head. It's not completely invisible (you cannot cover it up with a shirt collar when you are actually talking on it because you'd be covering the microphone), but she says it's hardly noticable. She says even if you wear a tie she's seen plenty of people dressed like that wearing these types of collar headsets. We both believe that bluetooth headsets are acceptible parts of business dress these days, but this is the most minimal headset we know of. Also, I forgot to mention if you lay down your phone and forget it and start to walk off, the headset will begin vibrating as you walk out of range, keeping you from forgetting your phone. Of course, you can turn off the audible ringer on the phone, and have the headset just vibrate when a call comes in. It can vibrate in different patterns, so you can tell a text from a call from a special pattern you've assigned to certain contacts. I've had it now for about six months, and I still like it as much as when I first purchased it.
