I completely agree with you Kramerica. I REALLY like everything about the BT devise except for two things. The "tin" effect and volume control. I find myself asking the other party to repeat them self far too often because of the tinny audio and not enough volume in noisy environment. The headset gets loud but just does not get loud enough. I can live with this but not the "tin" effect. I tried the Jawbone with a Razr but same thing. I will be back to my trusted BH-900 paired to the BB7130c.

I am thinking of contacting Jawbone to see if there is anything that can be done. I know we are not the only ones hearing the "tin" effect.

It worked very well for me on the road in highway driving for outgoing quality, but incoming, it just failed miserably (for me).

The "tin" effect was still there and all variations for ear pieces to ear loop unfortunately failed. I had given this unit a full week of travel to "make it work" as I really like the look, feel and outgoing sound quality, but the incoming audio quality (and lack of real volume control) is just not worth the price.

Good luck to those who press forward. Going to the old standbys (510 & BH-900).

PS. The 510 is the best for incoming volume and audio quality, but not the greatest outbound, while the BH-900 is great for outgoing and if it didn't sit off your ear, would probably be great for incoming as well.
