Crazy. I paid $25CAD for cheap Chinese-brand behind-the-ears headset (Suicen AX-698) and dropouts are very rare for me. Happens occasionally - usually when I'm on the road and a truck goes by - I assume some of those have very chatty RF devices. But still, generally very rare. When I'm at the gym working out they never cut for me.

Frustrating reality of modern purchasing - buying the "expensive" one often gives you something not substantially better than the cheap Chinese junk.
