    We all have busy lives and find ourselves constantly on our smartphones. This ties up our hands when there are other things we should be doing. This device allows hands free so you can multi-task and get more accomplished. The battery lasts a long time between charging. I love it!

    Stays in ear well, works well. Callers did hear some road noise while I was driving, but we still communicated well. When I stopped driving, caller was amazed at how clear sound was. Granted, I was driving a diesel dually Chevy pickup, so there definitely was background noise.

    This is the second one of these. First one lasted almost 5 years of heavy use. Besides normal phone use, you can control your music/podcast/audiobook with this gem. You can skip to the last track or next track. You can pause and play easily. This Bluetooth is very loud if you want it. Sound is very good. I have tried much more expensive units that are not nearly as good and have less features. I get all day on one charge. I highly recommend this Bluetooth.

    This is my second earpiece from the same company and I found that this earpiece volume is much lower than the other one I previously owned. Another reviewer commented about the announcement of the on and off and volume control which can be annoying. The best thing is the charging unit that I can hang on my purse. That's the best thing about it. Exactly I don't think it charges.

    The unit is very comfortable. The sound is clear but could use a little more volume when outside. I use it quite often and battery last a long time.

    This is my third Plantronics Bluetooth headset. I keep losing them, and then find them months later! I like the sound quality for phone callsand they hold a charge really well. My only complaint is that they disconnect from the phone randomly, but I'm not sure if it's the fault of the headset or the phone itself.

    This is a great bluetooth for anyone that wants hands free communication. The inner ear component is a little awkwardly sized and doesn't always stay in my ear, so there isn't enough size and shape variety for it to be comfortable for long term use but I love that I can turn it on and off with a switch to avoid wasting battery life.

    I have purchased two of these recently as gifts for friends. They work well with their phones and have great sound quality. One of my favorite features is the charger/strap that keeps the device at hand as well as prevents it from getting lost. I purchased a different Plantronics Bluetooth device for my phone and I wish I had purchased this one. Both of the ones I purchased to give as gifts were also on sale at the time. It was an all around great purchase.

    Works great only wish battery lasted longer. Despite the battery issue i would recomend this if your not on the phone more than 3-4 hrs a day. If you're on calls for extended times battery issue may be a problem otherwise it works great.

    Plantronics - Explorer 505

    I would definitely recommend the Plantronics 505 bluetooth headset. From the easy set-up to the battery life, it runs smooth. The ear hooks are comfortable and quite durable. Setting the proper language usage can be bothersome but there are plenty of videos on youtube showing how to adjust it. While making and receiving calls, the button placements are neat and large enough for usage. Call quality is clear with some occasional loud background noise but that is expected.
