no, it's not bad at all. it just goes around the back of your neck, with a little mic hole that goes by your adams apple. then there's a isolating earbud on one side. it's pretty comfortable as long as you don't have a thick neck. the only con is that the volume/mute button is high on the wire so it's hard to see if you're wearing it. but it's easy to use by touch after a little bit. i'll take some pictures when i get home for you.
