    Great bluetooth, about 6-7 hours of talk/music on a full charge. Most importantly being a UPS driver excellent noise cancellation is critical. Tried about a dozen and this is the best thing under $100. Stays put very well with just the rubber inside ear part and easy to swap from one ear to the other.

    The sound is alright, for the given price, and it pairs easily with any device that supports Bluetooth. Microphone quality and calls rarely gets static, but it's not so bad.

    The Plantronics Explorer 505 is very comfortable and the volume is very good. It pairs easily and has good range from the phone (40-50 ft and sometimes more). It has long lasting battery power 6-7 hrs of use and the music playback is very clear and load. Overall great value for the price and not at all cumbersome of conspicuous.

    It was easy enough to set up once I understood that the whole flat surface opposite the ear bud is a button. It can get staticky when connected to another Bluetooth device like a car speaker but that's to be expected. It fits comfortably in the ear and connects easily to both my IPhone and my non-smart flip work phone.

    This is a fairly simple unit. It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I do wish the volume would go just a bit higher. It can be a little soft in the car with road noise.

    Having used many headsets over the years, I was pleasantly shocked by the "small" size and weight of Explorer 505. The advanced features were even more surprising ... audible voice notifications of the status (talk time remaining) of the device and voice command control. The charger doubles as holder for the headset that can be looped around ... for example, the handle on your carry bag or belt loop with the magnetized ends. The charger interface to the headset is very snug; so no concerns about it falling off when looped. This device is ultra light! To say that I am about 1-week into ownership there is nothing about it that disappoints. Love it!

Power level, connection with the smart phone and volume.

    Third Plantronics Bluetooth I have purchased, and even though they cost a little more than most.....they provide great performance. The first one I had for years and never gave me a problem. Needed a new one for my new phone, but lost it shortly after I purchased it. Now I'm on #3 and love it!
