    Does what it should

    Replacing a Boom 2, it's not quite as loud and the design of the ear insert has me a bit worried about it snapping off when shutting it off and putting it in a pocket. On the other hand, it has a much longer speaking time and the mic is closer to my mouth. Bass response surprised me, not that I was expecting much.

    Easy to operate and sound is good. Range from phone allows one to walk around while your phone is another room and still be able to talk.

    Though it's not the most comfortable ear piece, overall it's not that bad. Great, clear sound. No background noises from what I'm told. Battery life is better than expected. And I like that at any given time, you can just push the talk button and it tells you how much talk time you have left (except when in a call).

    I was looking for a Bluetooth Headset for my Son for Christmas. A sales person was very, very helpful in assisting me in my purchase. She recommended the Plantronics. My son really likes it. He is very pleased. Happy with quality and sound.

    Stay away from all the brands that you don't recognize always stick with the plan tonics or the Logitech and you will not be disappointed in the sound and the clarity, but they had don't logic Tech to choose from and this one is just as good if not better with ease of use and a good charging system but the sound is what makes it the best no static nice and clear nice and loud Nez on the pocketbook

    This is my second one purchase after losing the first. I mostly used it when I go cycling, to listen to my music and occasional take phone calls. Listening pleasure is crystal clear & I never drop a call or receive any static disturbance.

    Unit is small and comfortable. Answers calls easily with a single touch. On/off switch and volume control is handy. Recall last number is easily done. The only issue I've had is in getting it to make a call. For some reason it doesn't want to perform that function with my current phone but it did with my older phone.

    Like the Bluetooth for doing what it's suppose to do, however it is a bit basic as far as features are concerned. Good for average use.

    I have had many different headsets, and spent a lot of money for no reason, this is a great product for not a lot of money. The 7 hours of talk time is great, I listen to my music through it and it never goes dead. The only thing that makes me not give it 5 stars is after a few hours it gets your ear sore, but it is one of the best out there.

    Great little headset. Connects easily to my Nexus 6P, clear sound coming through. I've asked serval people I spoke with on the phone how I sounded and none could tell I was on a headset. I like that a long press allows me to connect to Google Voice Search.
