    I've had several lower model headsets from the same company and I love them, never had a problem. This one is about as reliable but I notice that it's harder for me to hear the volume. For instance if I am in the car driving with the window open, I can't hear phone calls/music/audiobooks as clearly as I could on the other one. I have owned 2-3 headsets of this model and can say that it's definitely the model, not the individual headpiece.

    The Plantronics Explorer 505 Bluetooth headset is a “best all around” device. The sound quality is great, it’s comfortable on your ear, and the price is very affordable.

    I've had a Plantronics bluetooth headset for years that finally broke. Decided to buy another one because of the quality. While this one has an excexcellent range and quality of sound, both receiving and sending, it doesn't fit in the ear well. The earpiece is very uncomfortable and falls out. Probably wouldn't buy again unless it came with a better one.

    I chose this one because it would pair with multiple phones. Sound quality is great. No more conference calls on speaker phone and I get to walk outside for some of them. My only complaint is the mute function is a little tricky - push and hold two buttons at once. But it tells you if you turned it on so at least you know if you need to try again.

    When it works properly, it's great. However, the earpiece disconnects from my phone often which results in me missing parts of my conversation.
