  • Sorry… but I would much rather have the mute and volume switch were it used to be.  I having to look down at my stomach—even though I got six—to find the damn mute rocker.  Y’d they move it to being ‘on’ the wire.

  • I think this is much more intuitive than the old one.  The color indicator gives you a quick visual answer to “Are they ignoring me or just not hearing me again?”

  • I personally liked the old way much better, although, I havn’t used the new one.  I liked not having to fumble around and look for the dang mute button.  As far as it having color yeah it will give a quick reference but so did not looking and just quickly feeling that the button is pushed to the left for mute and to the right for talk.  Seems like now you are going to have to either look or not look and fumble around to find it.  I often mute and unmute and when I got the wireless headset it was much more of a hastle and now I think it might be even more of one.  Like I said just an opinion from someone who hasnt used one yet but Ill pick one up this weekend just to see.

  • I agree, the old one was a lot better, where everything was together.  If I were to buy this product, I would think twice now that I know about the new mute control, but the qwerty keyboard is really enticing, so it would be a tough call…
