    Works great and is very clear. Once I took the piece off that goes around my ear it was more comfortable.

    Have had this headset for several weeks. Good talk time-7 hours on a charge. Headset notifies you of its status and announces incoming calls,etc. charges with USB, not AC. Pleased with its clarity.

    I had a previous iteration of this headset and really liked it. This one, though, was way to quiet for me to use daily. I planned to use it for Skype calls on my laptop, which did work. The pairing was no problem and Skype understood the headset. However, the volume was so low that I could barely hear over the tumult of my office mates shooting Nerf darts over my head.

    My wife and I both have Plantronics Bluetooth Headsets. I wear glasses so having a headset that does not have to fit over the ear is a plus. Easy to use, sound quality is great and comfortable to wear.

    Easy to set-up & use, button to answer the phone can be hard to push in the beginning but does get easier with use, sound quality is excellent, still miss the older models but in comparison to a few others I have tried I tend to always love Plantronics devices over the other brands.

    Exceptional Bluetooth Headset

    Exceptional Bluetooth Headset lasts for 7-8 hours of talk time on one charge! It talks to you and tells you how much talk time you have left, power on and off, etc. Everyone has told me it sounds crystal clear. I do, however, wish it came with a normal charger, but luckily I had one from my last Plantronics Explorer and it's compatible.

    I purchased this to replace another one I had that was getting old and not holding a charge. I have been very pleased with it. The only thing I wish it did (that my other one did) is the say the phone # that is calling.

    This is my first Bluetooth device and I had several people recommend it to me. I have enjoyed using it so far. I recommend downloading the app on your phone to learn about all the features.
