Its an update to the Below Review Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.

The mike is still going strong, both VOX and PPT functions, I have just stopped using the microphone-speaker all together. I just use this headset-mike all the time.
Now for the interesting thing. I tried to use it with my Iphone 5s, and it worked perfectly well !!! I was able to hear through the headphone and speak through the mike without pushing the PPT button.

works great until it breaks in a few weeks Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
When it works it is great. Sound is good. When used in the car, the cable is nice and long. The clip holds the seat belt nicely. It is very comfortable.

The bad part. It is meant to be treated very gingerly, or the boom mic or the PTT fails FAST. First one failed in 2 months. Yaesu replaced it. I did have to pay for shipping. So the cost was $10. The second failed in a month. Not bothering to deal with another repair. So in the end, $80 in the trash.

I've met many people who love this headset. When it worked, so did I. I have $20 PC headphones that can take more abuse and have worked for years.

I have been using a a Heil Traveler as a replacement for over a month under the same conditions. No issues. Although the heil is heavier and the headband is not as comfortable.
