The Hello Klick offers plenty of opportunities, but is it all? We can be brief about this: yes, it works. But what is striking is that there is some 'lag'.

At one time, however, you know, and it's always good if you just click quietly.

There are some small improvement dots (see 'use' above), but because of the extremely low price it can never really be a bad buy. An additional advantage of the Hello Klick is also that the headset currently is also protected against dust.
