Although this was the heaviest unit at 28g, the design meant the weighty battery sat comfortably behind the ear.
The non-adjustable boom mike was rather long, though, and tended to flap against the cheek, while voice dialling tags didn't work when driving. Mike performance was reasonable, but not good enough to justify the £60 price.
