It is a little different in the style and design but I think thats a feature. I am not sure what the other reviewer was saying about its compatibility but I had no problems connecting with my Macbook Pro and my HTC Touch Pro. My favorite feature is that I can use any set of headphones with the tag for the best sound isolation. I am a bit of an Audiophile so I love my Etymotic ER-4 and ER-6 and they work perfectly with this BT. I will say that the Jabra included headphones are not bad and are actually built well. They are also very convenient with the shortened cable so perfect for wearing and putting the BT at the right height.
