Is the headset earholder more durable? I currently have the previous version and the piece that goes around your ear broke after one use it was so cheap! The ear piece holder was a thin snap on piece that broke right apart as it was snapped in!

I don't take it off and on too much so I couldn't say. Mine is still in one piece though.

I don't believe my button was working when I had still had this headset. You shouldn't consider purchasing this product since it's not very comfortable and the potential of it breaking on you in the first few weeks is extremely high.(Mine was already broken before I opened the package) However, the choice is yours. Cheers mate.

Yes, you can return the headset for a new one, I did, if your purchaser is still under warranty. The problem is that the ear loop attachment detail is weak, and the ear loop will break off rendering the headset useless unless you like to use your hand to hold it against your ear. Mine has broken off twice without any abuse whatsoever. It appears that many other purchasers have had the same misfortune.

The ear piece does not come off but the cushion is quality. Like Natalia said the ear piece is genuine leather that is soft to the touch. Another thing about the headphones is that your ear will not touch the inner padding which makes it very comfortable. I am not sure how the headphones stand up to time since mine are fairly new at around 2-3 months but I can say with the amazing build quality they should last for a long time.

No issues with the headset at all. This is my second phone like this. First one I spilled Coke on! This one I do have a problem with it ringing extremely loudly, extremely softly and not ringing at all - and never touching the volume controls. Went thru all their troubleshooting with no success. Have you tried a different headset? Good luck!

The ear piece did stay in place, however it eventually wore out. i went to Staples and got a replacement for $3.99. Theycome with 2 ea rpieces since everything is stereo now. I use one and tuck the other inside my clothes. actually the extra one may be needed someday. I use the unit alot and am happy with it. The batteries seem to last forever. So I recommend the Reizen to all my friends. You may want both ears used with the ear piece from Staples if both ears are bad. I have very little hearing in one ear so did fine with one.

I have never broken mine nor my wife's in the last 4 years... But I had gone through 14 turtle beach headsets prior to this purchase...

Yes. Mine broke too. After about 2 years of use. The headset never left the desk where the computer is located, and they were never dropped or handled roughly. The cracks in the plastic seem to appear from normal use. My pair cracked and fractured so thoroughly it could not be repaired with glue, the pieces were to small. The joint cap seems like it's just prone to break. Logitech refused to replace or fix them, even though they are under warranty. This was super disappointing to me, as I've used Logitech products for years, been happy with their driver software, and tend to prefer the look/feel/usability of their stuff over competing brands.

Either way I would not recommend this headset to anyone. The plastic around the pivot point for the ear piece is questionable at best. For example, the plastic around the ear piece on my Corsair 2000 headset completely disintegrated. This was not due to abuse in any way, I have babied this headset. Shame on Corsair for producing an inferior headset when most if not all there other products far surpass other retailers/manufacturers. I have a 800D case and Vengeance ram, both of which have held up and far exceeded my expectations.

I have had the following H17, H17txt, HX550, and Elite Flip. I have never had a failure due to the product. I am very hard on headsets and usually end up destroying the microphone on them. I can tell you from experience the H17's so far are the best in every area. The H17txt very close to tie for top. The HX550 have a lower volume that you hear. Only about 60% of what you get from the H17's. The only Elite Flip I had got returned within a week. Everyone I talked to said they could hear themselves like an echo. Also the flip part on the Elite Flip is much wider than the others which keeps it from folding compactly in your pocket. With the H17 and HX550 the flip part folds down and the ear piece you see in the pick will swivel around it making a nice compact item that fits well in your pocket. At the time of this writing you can order the H17 from the Motorola website for $29.99. I am debating on getting it or trying the H19txt now.

As a game developer, I use these headsets religiously. They are not the best quality, but compared to 90% of wired headsets near the same price range they are just as good. Only problems I have with the headset is the boom for the microphone. The elbow that attaches boom to the left headphone is made out of plastic and if dropped on that elbow it will break with ease. (I strength my headsets by attaching 38 gauge aluminum with some liquid steel adhesive, to the elbow join) I have used a number of these headsets and currently own three. Two for work and one for home. Being able to get up and get a drink or rush to a project meeting, without stressing about tripping over a cord or ripping the USB out is hard to beat. Hope this review helps, if you have any questions about the headset let me know and I'd be happy to answer them for you.

I don't know. I've got two of these and have never had an issue although they do look a bit fragile. I'd guess at the ear piece.

I got mine back in September I think and they just now broke today sorta. The left earbud doesn't produce as much sound as the right after they both got pulled out of my ears. Other than that they are amazing.

Mine lasted about 4 days before they snapped. After several attempts to get support, I finally got an email thread going where they wanted pictures of the broken headset. Their reply to the pictures was that I "must have abused them, and that abuse is not covered under their warranty." This was almost two years ago; I cannot believe that they continue to sell such an inferior product or that Amazon continues to sell them.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

I dont think so, I had (but lost) 2 510's which were great BT headsets. First off, why did they change the design? The 510 design was unique, while this one just follows along the boom mic trend of many manufacturers. The 510 fit perfectly due to its unique design and because it allowed the earpiece to go in the ear, It would fit and I could hear it perfectly. To that end, the thing came with 3 different sizes and if you chose you could use it without... thats 4 different ways to wear it in one ear. The 520 limits you to a hit or miss earpiece that while better than most, does not give the flexiblity that the 510 had. Voice quality is good... if you are in close proximity to the paired device and if you dont have the 520 in line of sight, you may hear garbling due to sags in reception, this is not a problem I recall with either one of the 510's I had. Looks... gimmicky, faux carbon fiber? kinda large and hangs off the side of your cheek like a wide open barn door. (ok that last one is kinda harsh and not very helpful) I really do find that it does kinda hang there, I prefer my headset to sit close to my cheek, even rest upon it, if it doesnt then it looks and feels strange. So why do I have the 520? well I bought it because I read many great things about it at several websites, and like many people were so awestruck with the performace of the 510 in most aspects that I figured that the 520 which is the upgrade should be far better. However this didnt prove to be the case, I've had it for less than a week, I'll be returning it to get a replacement 510 (for the 3rd time). I dont doubt that this is a good headset from a great company, I dont think they garnered all those positive reviews by chance. But this one is simply not the one for me, hopefully the 530 will be the one. 3/5 stars.

I have not use the ear piece. Sound comes out of mic. I am assuming if you use ear piece sound comes out so it. FYI make use all parts are pugged in all the way.
