I would recommend this to a friendWorks well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buttons are confusing but overall works well. Calls are very clear.
I would recommend this to a friendTry something else
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The answer button is not user friendly- it has too much resistance and your pushing the ear piece into your ear to answer a call. In order to use voice dialing, you have to press and hold that same high resistance button, but release when you hear the tone, otherwise your pairing. It tells you that there is an in coming call which skips the phone from telling you who is calling, and there is no settings menu to shut off the obvious. Over all as along as your not pushing the one button it’s comfortable to wear, but you still have to look at the phone to see who is calling before subjecting yourself to an unwanted conversation.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.6 months after I bought this bluetooth ear piece, people were complaining that I couldn't be heard, at all. Bought 2 Plantronics Legend pieces prior to this one and 1 lasted a little over a year, the other lasted less than a year. I'm tired of buying bad products that don't last long.

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.
