I bought this the other day and charged and linked it up. Whenever I use it I can hear the person I talk to very well (with volume all the way up), but all I hear is complaints that I sound horrible. I get comments like I sound like I am in an empty room or underwater. So on my end it sounds great but I guess not so great for the people I talk to.

They notice that it sounds better when I turn the volume down...but then I can barely hear them. I even got yelled at when I washed my hands...they though I was blowing into the speaker! I don't recommend this product even though the idea of having a light thing attched to your ear without wires is great.

Also...the earpiece should be bendable to fit the ear better. I feel it wobble around when I move my head.

Have you noticed that most of the negative comments about this book are written by men? Well, there's a reason for that. Men don't want to feel "manipulated" or part of some strategic plot. Understandable. However, guess what? This book isn't written for them! It's written for women, only. No matter how hard men try, they will never know what it's like to be a WOMAN and not asked out, or to have men constantly ask you out, but then they all lose interest. It's too painful, so let's give ourselves an honest break.

These Rules aren't to deceive anyone, contrary to what some people may say. They're actually to transform and empower a woman. I'll admit, if a normally talkative/boisterous woman acts quiet just to get her man, then she's not being honest and that's wrong. The authors, Ellen and Sherrie, do not support that kind of behavior. They actually want women to work on their dating skills, like someone working on their cooking or writing skills.

How would a man feel if a woman frequently called him at 2am in the morning with her emotional issues? She talked too much and wouldn't get off the phone when a man has to work the next day? She quits all her extracurricular activities/hobbies just so she can pursue a man? Shows up at a man's doorstep one weekend without calling first and expects him to entertain her (even though he may have already had plans)?  She nags or tells a man what to do, like his mother would?

Women don't really do that, right? Wrong! Heck, I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I used to do some of those things myself, and I know PLENTY of other women that still do. That's the point! Even if some of the methods in the book seem a bit extreme, it's helping women (especially ones with low-self esteem or can't seem to get/keep a man) learn important skills of respect (a man's time) and about having a life of their own, which is very attactive.

My story: People were saying, "You're so smart, attractive, and talented...how come you're not married?" I definitely had men pursuing me, but then they seemed to ALWAYS lose interest. I used to think I was cursed or God hated me. Then a friend suggested The Rules book and it turned my love life around. Suddenly I learned how to keep a man by not being so obnoxious and pursuing him too heavily, and giving him the space a respect a man deserves. And it wasn't deception either. I worked hard to make these skills truly part of my life and not some false front to deceive anyone.

And guess what? I married an amazing man! He's tall, handsome, very intelligent (PhD), has a great job, superb personality and wit, and very much a gentleman. After his divorce, he seriously had women throwing themselves at him and pursing HIM! He would initially like these women, but they seemed so clingy and needy after awhile that if turned him off. Then when he met me, I was pursing an intense career, dating lots of other amazing men, and didn't have time to spend hours on the phone/computer bearing my soul to some stranger. He thought my confidence (which was sincere) was amazing and pursued me vigorously. Needless to say, he won my heart and the rest is history.

So, some may scoff, but honestly women, read the book and take it with a grain of salt. If something doesn't apply to you or feel right, test it out. If it doesn't work, don't do. Use your head and common sense. But there are lots of GREAT suggestions. And remember, this book IS NOT FOR MEN!  Good luck, ladies, and I hope you marry the man of your dreams like I (finally) did!

Many of my friends look at these headphones and wonder why I make such a big deal about them. They are not the most beautiful headphones to look at. But do they kick xxx when it comes to sound there are not another pair it this price range that even comes close .

It's no louder nor better in tone than the internal speakers in my MacBook or my iPhone 4S. In fact, at higher volume settings the distortion is objectionable. Based on performance, I don't see the point of carrying this extra device around.

I can hear when my friends talk to me without a problem. However, I can hear the muzzle breaks just as well. They just don't reduce sound as well as I hoped they would.

Works great. Have poor hearing. For FPS games with teams, I can hear instructions from the game's players. Also, able to hear 'wharevers' sneaking up on you. If your significant other doesn't like gaming, this just might save your relationship. Game responsibly.

It's not silent. There is a steady, ever-present grinding noise. The sound of your life dragging by.

I can clearly hear everything that is happening and being said without the volume having to be so loud that others are uncomfortable.. For me it is more clear than listening without them and having the TV volume at a higher setting. At times I use them even when I am the only one in the room because I can hear and understand so much better with them than without them.

... Very loud though. The noise doesn't offend me, but it may others.

A friend of mine recommended this to me. I found it obnoxious. Written from an over generalized idea that men are able to be manipulated into liking you. My intention isn't to drag the author through the coals -- you know what they say, "take what you like and leave the rest." I think her underlying point, for those unable to see it, is that confidence is key. You don't have to be a bitch. You just have to be confident and okay without anyone in your life to validate you and make you feel worthy. We good, fam. We gon be just fine.

For those who think that men cannot reveal their feelings, this book is an illuminating antidote. The men in the group that Ken Solin describes laugh, cry, get angry, hurt, etc. Why? Because within a group format, they learned to trust each other.  Most men never find that safe place, in a group, or in a relationship, where they can speak out freely about their hopes and fears. Society imposes so many restraints on us.

"Act Like a Man" shows real men speaking the real truth to each other. By doing so, the men deepen not only into their relationships with each other, but into self-understanding. People who read this book will understand the struggles of men much more completely.

The person on the other end has a hard time hearing you unless you are the speaker phone.  They say that they hear echoing and can't make out what you're saying on the regular phones.  I though these would be great because my husband has a hard time hearing but when you use them as a regular phone, the person you are talking to can't hear you and I also hear the echoing.  Not really crazy about this phone for the reason.  Great if you don't mind everyone hearing your conversation and picking all the background noise up.

Bring the big balls y'all cause if you take the excellent advice in this book you are going to be getting shot down, refused, ignored, asked  "please don't say those things too me" and walked away from by females who think you are a confident, charming, responsible scary dude who doesn't play by the established rules of dating.  You Mr. Dating Iconoclast are going to learn to either love rejection or just get used to it and drive on because while the author is very charming, persuasive and confident that your new-found confidence,charm and responsibility are going to make all girls your pets, it might be a little more interesting for you than he makes it sound.  Yes, I followed his advice and asked out 33 of the hottest girls, young girls, heck even amazing hot women with huge real diamonds on their wedding finger, all while single, not owning a car, far from established but confident and daring! I got three or four dates, and got turned down 29 times! At least! Im probably blocking some of the more embarassing ones from my memory. One date with a bombshell blonde was worth all the turn-downs, she however, was fairly crazy ( a self claimed alien from the constellation Arcturus) and while great in bed and very interesting to talk to, was a little much to be a girlfriend.  I am now in a ltr with a fiery hot redhead 20 years younger than me. My experience after using the tactics and mindset set forth in this handy dating-anarchy Manual is that American women are socialized to believe that smooth, sexy, confident, bold and audacious guys are players out for pussy. Are they wrong? Generally girls resist players unless they are over 45 and naturally mega horny or under 25 and adventurous and possibly drunk.  Please remember all those sweet nice guys who play by the rules and let the women run the show have penises too. In my experience girls are almost always loyal to the guy they are with. So yes, it will make your life very interesting to ask out all the girls you would have never asked out before, but you will get rejected many, many times. Newsflash! Most crazy-hot and delightful females are dating someone right now. That's ok. It's an adventure. Really it's the best adventure. You won't regret being bold but my advice is to play it a little smoother than our author recommends, just tone it down a bit, work on your charm, be self effacing and try not to scare the crap out of a woman because you are stopping traffic to ask her out or interrupting her lunch to introduce yourself in a packed outdoor cafe.

Sadly - this obstructed the sound for other people.  Not for me, but for others.
