Review from an obsessive guy
By D.M.K
To begin with, I live in Nevada where they just passed a no cell phone talking while driving except with bluetooth or speakers. I am in field where I get a lot of calls and it is imperative that I have a good connection and can hear my clients clearly. I decided to buy several different model bluetooth sets and compare them side by side since they all have at least a 30 day return policy. First I bought a motorola, waste of money, disconnected and unpaired constantly. Second I moved up to the jawbone Icon. fair volume, super uncomfortable and without the hook that was unbendable and caused blisters, it would fall out of your ear just by chewing.. I did like the features, especially caller ID and voice dial. But after several drops out of my ear the sound quality was gone and I returned that one too. Next I tried the Plantonics Voyager HD (top of the line) and was NOT impressed. The volume was insufficent and in a noisy enviornment, even at full volume (30) it was difficult to hear. I also didnt like the fact that you had to pay extra for voice control service...and although they give you a free 1 year subscription to their vocalyst program, after one year you have to pay for an ongoing subscription, which is pure greed and unacceptable, the same service is totally free on the jawbone Icon and Jabra Supreme, ...and lastly, the Voyager did not even support caller ID, and for such a pricey bluetooth, that was the clincher for me. Returned that one too. Decided on the Jabra Supreme. I was nervous about it due to the reviews that it was bulky and wouldnt stay in the ear, like the Jawbone Icon. But I went ahead and took a chance. Turns out this is far and away the best of them all. With the extra earpad that comes with it hooks inside your ear and combined with the soft bendable hook it is totally secure and I felt it was as secure as the Plantronics voyager. The volume is superb. In fact, at half way up its louder than the plantronics at full blast. The sound quality is the best by light years. (compares to a corded phone) When I would voice text with the Voyager, I had to constantly repeat myself to get it right, with the Supreme....perfect voice texting it hears you clearly. All the voice commands work perfectly. The only complaint is the unit is big and thus not too stylish, but it more than makes up for it in incredible performance. My phone is an HTC Radar windows based phone. The Jabra Supreme is the one I am keeping.

EXCELLENT headset - hear for yourself!
By Pavahotti
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3G1MICOKG65IZ Overall, this is an excellent headset, and I have been quite happy using it as my go-to Bluetooth headset for the last several weeks. It pairs quickly and sounds great. The only real qualm I have is that, for whatever reason, the engineers at Jabra decided to forego five stars by giving us an unwieldy ear hook solution instead of a standard in-ear bud. There was absolutely no reason for this, and it sometimes make the headset flop about precariously. That said, despite feeling somewhat insecure, it offers excellent sound, and I highly recommend it.(You can hear audio from the headset around the 3:25 mark. Errata: At 3:37 I accidentally referred to this as the "Plantronics Supreme" -- frankly that's a Freudian compliment, as I apparently subconsciously equated the Jabra sound with generally excellent Plantronics sound!)

Awesome sounding headset
By Ty
This headset replaced a Jawbone Prime headset I got a year ago but managed to permanently misplace when transferring my stuff back from a rental car. The sound quality on the Jabra Supreme is much better than the Jawbone. People I was talking to on the phone could hear me very well, without even the hint of background noise from my loud car, even at high RPMs. The ear piece noise cancellation is also amazing, I was able to have the Jabra Supreme volume much lower and still hear better than through my phone or the Jawbone.Setup for one phone was super easy, charge the headset, then put it on, it is immediately in pairing mode ready for its first device. I have two phones (personal HTC Thunderbolt and an iPhone 4), so I was able to take advantage of the multi device capability of the Supreme. For that, all I had to do was press the voice button and say "Pair new device" and the Supreme was again in pairing mode. After connecting the second device, I had a little bit of trouble getting the headset to say "Connected to two devices," I realized all I needed to do was go into my iPhone and tell it to connect to the headset again. Now every time I turn on the headset, it immediately connects to both headsets. The only problem I'm having with the two devices now is how to determine which phone will be used when I use a phone command, I think it has something to do with the order I've connected the phones, but I'm not sure yet. My old Jawbone also connected to two devices, so I don't think this is as revolutionary as they want you to believe, but it's a good feature for people with two phones.The Android app is pretty neat, I can see the battery level, change some sound presets (Home, Office, Car) and adjust the level of noise cancellation. I played around in there for a bit, but the headset seems to do a pretty good job of picking the best setting. There isn't an iPhone app yet, but the website says one is on the way. When my iPhone is connected, there is an indicator in the top right of the iPhone that shows the Jabra's battery life. I can also press the voice button and say "Battery" and it will tell me how much talk time I have left on the current charge.The voice guidance feature is also really nice, it's really nice being able to talk to the headset instead of trying to figure out the secret button sequence to get the headset to do what I want. It also allows me to say "Answer" to take a call when the headset is already on, rather than find the right button for that.A couple other features are a little bit confusing, like when I'm on the phone with one phone and the other rings, I can press the Answer/end button to put the current call on hold and take it, then press it again to switch between them, and then tap the button to hang up, which is where the problem is... The button will do different things depending on how long you hold it, the manual says there are 5 different lengths that will get you different results: Tap, Double Tap, Press, Long Press and Extra Long Press. I'm sure once I get the hang of it this won't be an issue, I don't get too many calls while I'm already on the phone anyway.Overall, this is the best bluetooth headset I've ever used, audio quality much better than the Jawbone Prime I had until recently.
