    I read many reviews, and I found it confusing. In fact, many sites did not comment on customers reaction the headset easily fall out ear.



    I am a small guy, will the Apple bluetooth headset fit me?

    I don't have any problem with my iphone headset.. That mean the bluetooth headset will fit me okay right?

    Can I connect the Apple Bluetooth headset to my Imac and use it on MeBeam Integration video chat?

    i can't offer any advice on the fit for you, but it fits me very well.

    I use it whenever making calls at home (we don't really use landlines in Finland), I like being totally handsfree with no cables, so I can talk to my friends and family whilst cooking or whatever...

    I don't bother to carry it around with me, because away from home, my phone conversations tend do be of the more 'typical' male variety "how are you where shall we meet ok bye" :D I don't need bluetooth technology for this...

    One negative thing I noticed in the reviews before I bought it that turned out to be true... you get crackle and static if the phone is anything more than a couple of feet away. Even putting it in your jeans pocket really does affect the call quality. This means I have to put it in a shirt pocket (if I am wearing one) or on a worktop, which slightly defeats the point of bluetooth.

    Overall, it is very stylish and I enjoy using it, but the range is a little disappointing. Ok for what I use it for but I can imagine not ok for everyone.
