HBH-660 Volume increase
The volume on the HBH 660 is not sufficient because it does not fit properly into the ear canal but, I got an idea from someone in one of the threads to try the Slic Sound (slicksound.com about $17 with shipping) earpiece. So, I ordered a set (3 sizes for each ear) and it fit over the earpiece on the HBH-660 and the volume drastically increased because the earpiece does fit into the ear canal. The earpiece does cause the headset to be about half an inch from the face but does not put too much pressure on the earhook or the top of the ear.
In talking to people using the HBH-660 sometimes they claim slight static (could have been due to the rain outside) and some slight cutting out. It really depends on the phone on the other end. For example, my portable phone at home seems to have more of a problem than my wife's cell phone and less on my office phone voicemail.
I would recommend the HBH-660. The caller ID shows just the number and since I keep it on my ear all the time driving, the caller ID doesn't really come into play.
Hopes this helps those trying to make a decision on the HBH 660.
