Quikcell

I purchased a pair of Metallics in ear earphones at an airport. As soon as I got on the plane I opened the package and they don’t work. When I arrived home I emailed the company. They want me to pay to have them shipped to them for repair and then pay again to ship them back to me. The will cost me double what I paid to begin with. Not very good customer service.

AFter fumbling around for the N-​th time to get my headset connection ‘juuuust right’ so i could take a call without getting ticketed, i finally decided it was time to try yet another bluetooth headset.
Finally decided on one of the colored ‘Q7’ headsets made by Quikcell.
(hint: make them all the same generic color — black or silver — THEN just make available the multi-​colored covers that snap into place)
It was quite affordable at $ 20, so decided to give it a try — even though it seemed quite small (one inch long and less than 5 grams).
It paired easily-​enough with my Blackberry and my first call with it went well.
«cool» i thought. Figuring i now had a safer alternative if i ever needed to make or receive a call (the Q7 supports voice-​dialing).
i really wanted to like this headset. However, further testing of it revealed it’s weaker side: it SUCKS when it comes to background noise.
I rolled down the passenger side window a few inches and tried making a call while on a local freeway.
The person on the other end said they could hardly hear me.
«You’re breaking up really bad — it’s too noisy.»
Afterwards, i rolled up the window and tried again.
«…Better, but i can still hear lots of noise in the background.»
Not an indication of a good headset to use on SoCal freeways… then again, i don’t own a new Lexus or Mercedes — and road noise is just something i’ll have to put up with (along with the people i speak with).
So, i returned it… and may try another next week.
(somehow, in the back of my mind, i’m surmising that i’ll wind up with another Jawbone. So far, it seems the best for dealing with background noise).
