does the loop HAVE to be around your neck or can it be in the vicinity? If so just how close does it need to be? Earpice need to be looped by it?

Well you can wear over shoulder or put in pocket but it needs to be within about 16-20 inches from ear.. be sure to purchase extra batteries the size is not a common one so I'd buy what's available on line for a good price.. I also have another earpice, the micro one.. lil magnet that you drop in ear and use a loop like the other one but the battery is a 9v and it works the same just last longer on battery..

I mounted mine on a corner shelf just above the TV,(48" Sony on a diagonal in the corner of the room) the round ears are antennas, they don't necessarily need to be straight up, I rotated them around to get the best signal. It is explained in the instructions for the unit. I raised the shelf to be even with the top of the TV. Originally had it sitting on a bass speaker behind the TV. I got decent signal but raising it up put the unit away from all the other electronics and greatly improved things. your may need to move it around and try different positions but the item did do what i expected. Hope this helps.

It depends on the ear. For me I find myself adjusting the piece with out the hook. I switched to the hook and round ear bud combo and it cut it down significantly

There are no different attachments for over the ear. The wire should conform to your ear.

After reading all responses, the method that I use is wrapping it around the back of my neck. I give a little slack to the right ear and usually the left side doesn't move too much. I guess it would depend on what activity you're doing. Also I have a name tag clip on it sometimes. That way I can clip them to my shirt.

Hi Gayle, because it has a hook that allows the Plantronics device to dangle from the ear, it does not have to be directly in the ear in order to work properly. In fact, most times when I use mine my earpiece is not directly in my ear; it is in the outer ear but I have no trouble hearing or talking on it and no problem with people on the other end listening to me. Because it is always attached to your ear by the hook over the ear, you will never lose it and it will pick up your voice perfectly! Hope this helps...

Get a an over-headset w/ mouthpiece from Staples, Amazon, etc & plug it into the hole in the side. Then you're hands-free to multi-task AND not cricking your neck! :)

The band is rather floppy along the back of your neck, so laying on the band will not move the earpieces in your ears. You will feel its presence though. In my opinion, the only time the band feels awkward is when wearing a fleece or vest that zips all the way up your neck and the collar unfolds to cover the back of your neck. I have to make sure the band fits inside the collar or else it bounces around when running.

I believe I was trying to say the design of the rubberized loop that goes around the top of the ear is pretty flexible for different shapes. Had them a week now. Still awesome!

I agree. I can't get this thing to fit securely. Is it possible that my ear doesn't have the fold required?

I got no ear hooks, but 3/4 sizes of ear buds. Loops should not be necessary though.

Nearby. The hook on the bottom holds it to your ear over the earlobe. The speaker itself has a nice spongy material over it for comfort within the ear. This is the best in-ear headset I've ever used.

The speaker juts a little into the ear opening, so it would be hard to wear a hearing aid (other than one that goes deep into the ear canal like a Lyric). The Ear Loop is just for stability and doesn't interfere with earrings or glasses.

when I put it on it wraps around the back of my neck which causes the ear buds to go in my ear. it stays in no matter what Im doing. The only problem I have is when it starts to hurt a little when I have them on for a long period of time. So I would move one ear bud above my ear to give it a rest. the other one stays in place. I love these. Im planning on ordering more. The instructions are not clear on how to pair. To pair, make sure its off, hold the middle button done until it starts flashing blue and red. hope I answered your question.

Yes, you can. They are quite comfortable with the chord behind your neck. I actually wear them that way because I look as I if I am wearing an elevated necklace when I have the chord in front of my neck. One little caveat though, I've noticed that when there's some sweat at the back of your neck, it creates a bit of friction. So when you turn your head to the left or right, the chord doesn't move smoothly, and hence it sort of tugs at the earpiece. However, rest assured that the earpiece doesn't fall off.

I connect it behind my neck..so the earpiece is on one side of my neck and the connector is on the other side that way it keeps it tight to your ear..

The loops do not click in any way, and the loop is, to its credit, seamless. It's just that instead of, say, a dozen unique cracks of thunder, there are only about three. The volume knob goes pretty high, so I think it'll drown out a light snorer.
