Good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most of the time the person on the other end can hear me clearly if I am in my car with the windows up or no other loud noise around in my home. I love that I can listen to music or other audio from this headset and its discreet enough to be used at work.

Worked fine with my Samsung phone.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to replace an older unit that I had quit working. Sound is good, I have had no complaints from callers about sound quality. Battery only lasts 7 hours vs. 11 hours on my old device. Pairing was simple with my phone a Galaxy 4.

Gets the job done
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pricey but works well. I advise getting the warranty just in case you are clumsy like me and break it. You must keep your phone close in order to have best signal. It will automatically disconnect when out of range. Overall, i'd buy it again.

Great Replacement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to get this one as a replacement after I lost my other one in the cattle pen. No telling where that one went too! Easy to use, fits in my ear very easily, sound is good and small enough to put in your shirt pocket.

Good unit, average sound quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent unit with expected features, excellent battery life, but lacking in sound quality. Easy to link initially, but drops connection without warning on new iPhone 8.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from PlantronicsRepresentative
Posted .Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505, we are sorry to hear you're experiencing trouble with your unit.
In order to troubleshoot connectivity or audio issues you might want to try resetting the Bluetooth connection between your phone and headset to see if that helps the issue. To do so:
1. Delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices.
2. Once deleted, power your phone completely off, then power it back on. This resets the Bluetooth stack in the Bluetooth software on the phone.
3. Re-pair the headset with your phone. If this does not fix your issue, we suggest pairing the headset to another cell phone as a test.
If the issue is not present on the second phone, then the problem may be with the first phone, rather than the headset. If the issue exists on the second phone as well, you will need to replace the headset. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer care group at www.plantronics.com/support if you require assistance.

Affordable purchase for on the go
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with my purchase so far. Pros:The operations are very easy, buttons are accessible without fumbling for them. Long battery life. Sound quality is great without much adjusting. Dual connections to two devices is a new feature to me, but I like it! Cons: The distance at which you lose connection is pretty far...only in an open area. Sometimes I will walk out the door, leaving my phone in close proximity to the doorway and I will loose connection within 20 feet. Good thing is that it connects again right away once you are back in range. The only other complaint is that the silicone in-ear-piece really made my ear sore for the first few weeks! It's still kinda tender sometimes, but the sucker stays in you ear, that's for sure!! Overall, I am very pleased with this "middle of the road" BT purchase!

Awesome Bluetooth to have!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous Bluetooth broke suddenly & I needed another one very fast. I went to Best Buy to purchase another one & was looking for a similar one because I never had any problems with it. There were so many to choose from but this particular caught my eye because it was white & the price. I have had it for about 2-3 weeks already it's so easy to use & great sound. I LOVE IT!

Better than my Motorola Boom
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this headset for about a week now. I was an avid fan of Motorola bluetooth headsets for comfort but the Boom proved to be too fragile and broke even under very careful use. This Plantronics had good reviews and so far they were deserved.. Headset is very comfortable, I use it without any nubs and only the ear hook. Performance has been spot on and easy to use.

Great Bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am enjoying this bluetooth. It fits well in my ear and I can clearly hear the caller on the other end. The buttons are easy to use. The battery life is good and will last most of the day depending on use I found it easy to pair with my iPhone. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that fact it requires a USB port for charging. When I plug it into my USB port on my mac it shuts my computer down. The device has to charge while your computer is turned on. I charge my bluetooth when I am away from my computer.

Excellent volume level; clearly hear every word
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This bluetooth device has always been very reliable. Unfortunately, I have had to purchase multiple times due to my losing them one way or another, but I get the same one each time. I like the features of it telling me how much talk time is left and the clear signal of low talk time. Volume level is perfect as I can hear every word clearly.

Very good headset
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good headset... Every person I talk to on my phone says my voice is clear and they can't believe I'm speaking on a wireless headset sometimes I I experience that I'm not hearing the other person but it's not my headset it's what the other person may be using at the time such as earbuds which are not dedicated to phone calls as my plantronic explorer...all and all I'm very happy with this item
