I did experience fairly clear feedback from callers when using the headset, but callers sometimes reported a bit of distortion from my end but it was only slight.  ...  "

" ...  Comfortable ear cup padding ... Frankly, because I find the Plantronics Voyager 8200 series to have superior call quality on both ends and to be much more comfortable than these, I will most likely return this headset though it consists of many good features such as seamless connectivity with the iPhone and amazingly high battery life.  ...  "

I am going to a big box store to get my replacements so I can see and feel them for myself before I buy - Amazon usually great but they failed on this one!  ...  "
