Default I need help from Blueant V1 owners

I love my V1, but after a year it's all loose. The earpiece turns loosely, as does the whoel device swivels loosely around the ear loop. These things makes it difficult for the headset to stay in place well.

I'd love an excuse to buy another headset (though everything I've tested including the Jawbone Prime doesn't sound as well) But has anyone found a way to fix these loose things?

Actually that worked fairly well. But the earpiece swiveling is annoying.

that part , yes. But in addition to the earpiece swiveling, the ear loop rotates loosely not just inside the hole it slides in, but also where it attaches to the phone - kinda the way you would rotate it to use on the other ear, kinda hard to explain

I replaced it with the new Motorola HX1. After 2 weeks it has been flawless thus far. Sound quality and fit both are excellent for me.
