    Bought this for my wife. She loves it. She has small ears and this earpiece fits perfect. She doesn't worry it will come out and she swears the quality of the conversations are just like in person.

    I've always purchased Plantronics devices because they offer me the best ROI. They usually outlast the warranty period which is rare for most mid-range headsets. The Explorer 505 is not different. I've been pleased with the performance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a mid-range ($) bargain. The battery isn't the longest lasting but works well for my use. The mobile charging cable is a plus. Its nice design makes it easy to transport to the office.

    This headset works very well with my iPhone 6. The store near me did not have the model I was looking for, but the sales associate recommended this model. I have no complaints about the unit so far. The calls are very clear and I only had one dropped call when I turned on my microwave oven. Other than that, it is working very well.

    My biggest issue with this earphone was its limited sound volume. My other earpieces, of different brands, had more than enough volume for me. This particular earpiece also had random static, which may have been fixed by a replacement. The unit fit well in my ear, and the controls were easy to use.

    This is a great bluetooth that minimizes background noise and provides great sound quality. An added bonus is the ability to fit snuggly into your ear without a hook. Makes it easy to change ears.

    Local law prohibits the use of hand-held mobile phones while driving. Since I have an older vehicle without internal Bluetooth capabilities, I wanted to be able to talk with my family while driving home from work...do I need to stop for groceries on my way home? Should I pick up the mail from the mailbox?, etc. This device allows me to ask these questions with just a press of a button and my voice commands to make a call, send a text, or more.
