The first HS-4W I had had a fault - the audio in the earpiece was quiet and often distorted. I swapped it for a replacement and the new HS-4W is a totally different experience!
The earpiece sound is clear and loud enough to be used in a car for example. The headset can be used on either ear, so the earpiece has a hole on either side, so there is some sound leakage. A piece of Blu-tack on one side would fix that if it's an issue for you.
The sound from the microphone is good quality - people report that they can hear and understand me fine.
There is a button on the boom that can is used to control calls – you can answer, reject, redial, voice-dial (if your phone supports it) and pass calls between headset and phone.
The only minor niggle for me is that it’s a bit bulky in my shirt pocket. ;)

Well written and brief (a review doesn't have to be long and bore you for it to be good). Nice one! Cheers. By the way, I don't like this Headset as It is too futuristic and I feel like a prick when using it, I would recommend a different one but the review is very good.

Hi Bollinger, I paid £64.99 for it last November. I could have bought it about £8 cheaper, but I got a "free" car charger "worth £10" with it ;)
