I have a cingular 8125, links up good and I can talk and hear but it will occasionally cut out and the volume goes very low for 10 sec and then back for 2 or 3. Plus it only comes out of the front left - is this right?

I tried it with the 8525...and it sucked...but it sounds like you are having better exspeience than me...(had pairing issues)

To solve your problem though...I would try to set it so that it comes out in a speaker that isn't so close to your mic...

You can set it to come out and mute different speakers
