WindGuard and the scala-500

At a hair more than half an ounce, the sleek and stylish scala-500 is one of the smallest and lightest devices available, but it still offers up to nine hours of talk time. An integrated speaker booster provides substantially higher volume capacity than is common with other headsets. Plus, echo canceling technology alleviates those annoying voice feedback loops that are common with lesser headsets. An exchangeable ear-loop and eye/sunglasses attachment lets you place the headset where it's most convenient, while handy controls on the device allow you to voice dial, as well as to answer, mute, reject, and transfer calls. A charging cradle ships with the scala-500, offering fast recharging of the headset's internal battery. A carry sleeve is included as well, letting you carry the scala-500 on your belt or around your neck. And last but not least, the scala-500 is Bluetooth 1.2 compliant.

Easy Interface, Bad Product.......2006-06-28

I recently purchased this bluetooth Scala-500 and used it all about maybe 5 times. Why such a short amount of time? Because the sound quality heard on the other end is so poor that I am told it sounds like I am in a windy tunnel when in fact I am in the car with the windows up and radio off. It's a bit too hot to drive with air condition off and windows up just so the person on the other end can hear me. Now I keep this piece of junk in my console and will only use it if my Logitech bluetooth is out of power. If you buy this make sure you plan to use it in a place like a library where there are no sounds at all to interfere. The only good thing about this headset is that it was easy to setup and connects well with my cell phone. Think twice about buying this product or check it out at your local retailer first. Even with the rebate I only paid $[...], but still not a bargain. The one star was for the ease of setting up with my cell phone.
