The volume is a little low but other than that it’s an excellent ear piece. Charges quickly and lasts all day.

I purchased this because I have an older model that I love. I have to say I hear better with it. However, the battery life on the new model is much shorter. I routinely find myself picking up my older one.

Brand response from PlantronicsRepresentative

The Explorer 500/505 should have up to 7 hours of talk time. If the battery isn't lasting that long, it may be defective. We can replace that headset, it has a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase.

I use it regularly while driving and for conference calls so I can type/work while listening to the discussion. It works great, but it disables cellular data function, so it limits my phone capabilities. My old one didn't do that. It is not a major concern tho.

I’ve used a number of different Bluetooth devices and this item is a very good product for the price (+/- $60). I particularly like the ability to connect to multiple devices at the same time and also play music and even run Waze through it at the same time, it makes for a true hands-free experience. Sound is clear, listeners on the other end also say audio is clear. It does sometimes pick up too much ambient noise and drop connectivity, but nothing that I would classify as ‘significant’ or abnormal with this type of device.

Works like it was design to do, only thing is, it does not rlhavr a long reach like it was advertise to do. I wish the manufacturers would stop the false advertising. I would like it to reach at least the length of my big rig 80 foot.

This is my 2nd if not the 3rd time purchasing this bluetooth for my mom. It’s good quality and most of all simple enough for her to use...so as long as she likes it, I’ll keep buying it for her.
