    Easy to setup and use. Crystal clear audio and even hear the sound in the background like I was right next to it. It's a good medium size bluetooth. Don't want to wear it for more than a few hours as it could get slightly uncomfortable around the earpiece. The charging cable is a bit small if looking for something with a bit more reach. Otherwise a really good product.

    Plantronics is very impressive. Sound quality is about as good as you can get without going to professional grade equipment, and costing ifour or five times more. For most people, they would not be able to tell the difference. I have not experienced any distortion, or static with this device at all. I have several other devices, which include other Plantronics, but this one is by far, the best one yet! Dictation on my iPhone, iPad, or my other computers, has consistently been easier and more accurate, saving me time and effort in my work.

    Before buying, I reviewed multiple Bluetooth , however great headset were expensive, above $100. So I decided to go with this with this which has good features and good price. After using this for more then 3-4 weeks, I am happy that I went for this model. It is light and if you fit properly, you will not feel it all. Also has 6 hrs of talking battery time. Clear sound and no issues.

    I read online reviews before purchasing this headset and reviews were very accurate. It is a reliable headset. Very nifty --- and i LOVE the magnetic charging cable that I can hang around my purse handle --- because this helps me to easy find my headset. Not only that ---- I always have the cable with me ----- so I can charge the headset AND my phone where I am since I don't have to worry about bringing an extra long bulky cable along in my purse. Very cute and light weight. I wish i had NOT bought the WHITE one though ---- it gets dirty fast ---- I wanted the white one so it could look more "girly" ---- but now I wish I had purchased the black one instead

    I like the Bluetooth capability. I am able to easily hear what is being said and people can hear what I say clearly. The ear piece does not fit my ear very well and often pops out. Good quality and works most of time. Keeps a charge for a long time at this point.

    recently upgraded to a Galaxy s6, went through two different headsets; first one (Jabra) the volume was extremely low with no way to make it any louder, second one was Motorola Boom, nice headset but there was an echo to the person I was talking to. They couldn't hold a conversation. I've had Plantronics in the past, I just should have went with what I trusted. This headset works just great. Perfect call clarity on both ends, really long battery life, I go all week on one charge. Used in my daily commute. Really good distance from the phone, which is nice. Big bonus, so far, no re-paring has been needed, connects every time! Very satisfied! Thanks Plantronics!

    Very small and lite headset, sometimes I forget that I'm using it. I was able to paired it very quickly to my iPhone and started using it at no time. People say they can hear me loud and clear but also they can hear a little bit of the background noise.

    I've always preferred plantronic's Bluetooth's over the years for their price, ease of use, and their dependable products. With all the newer devices coming on the market plantronic's consist reliability of Bluetooth headsets has never waivered. This product is no exception...So keep buying the newer more expensive Bluetooth products on the market....no need to spend a lot to get a lot!!!!!!

    So far, this has worked great! I had a similar Plantronics but apparently have lost it or misplaced it. I usually charge it every other evening from use and it's been great so far. I am happy with the fit and available attachments. Paired great with my iPhone 7.Have had great sound quality and battery life has been very good - only had to charge twice every other day from normal use.
