The back and the ear loop are grey and black.&lt;...> The ear loop can be inserted into the clip holder for either the left or right ear. If you wear glasses and prefer not to have both the eyeglass arm and the headset ear loop behind your ear, you can use the included glass clip to hold the headset on the arm of your glasses. This option may sound strange to those who have not used one, but it actually feels more secure wearing the headset using the clip than the ear hook."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/cardo_scala_500.jpg" /> <br /><br />Admittedly, Cardo is not a brand that I've ever heard of before, but it sounds like they have really put some thought into making this headset comfortable for the user by supplying a few different options in which you can wear this. If you're in the market for a BT headset (especially if you wear glasses and are concerned about the potential fit with your spectacles), then head on over to <a href="http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tips/cardo_scala_500.htm">MobileTechReview</a> and take look at Tong Zhang's review. It sounds like he came away impressed. The headset is fairly priced against the competition at $79.95. You can also find out more about this headset at the Cardo website <a href="http://www.cardowireless.com/scala500/">here</a>.

I have one! I bought it for $50 about 5 months ago. I would not recommand it. If you just turn your head, the thing get loose from the ear.

I have one and I like it, it at times feels a little loose on your ear, but I believe the part that goes around your ear is bendable. I think if I had a newer phone I would like it even more (I have a t86i). Oh...if you want one go to www.ecost.com. They have them for about $35. Now thats a deal.

Is this device only intended for telephones, or can you use it to listen to music? 8)

telephone only, I mean you can still listen to music, but you will not be happy with mono sound.
