    I have enjoyed using this device. It took a bit too find out that the laptop USB didn't always recharge it. It charged better using a USB adapter plugged into an electric receptacle. There was a little bit of ear irritation and worked better with ear piece.

    I owned the predecessor to this earpiece and loved it. The new one pairs quickly, screens out noise, and the audio is clear.

    This item is just ok. I really wanted to like it. The piece that goes inside the ear didn't fit right and the plastic piece that wrap around the ear I had to completely remove. I should have returned for a refund but I am still using them. If I had to do it over again I probably would have returned for something else

    I've had Voyager Edge before until I lost it. I bought this to save money. It's pretty decent for its price. However, there are times when the audio is garbled. I am not sure if it's just this item that has damage or if it's a common problem to this model.

    • Brand response from PlantronicsRepresentative
      Posted .

      That may be an issue with the headset or with the connection between the headset and phone. You might want to try resetting the Bluetooth connection between your phone and headset to see if that helps the issue. To do so,

      1. Delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices.
      2. Once deleted, power your phone completely off, then power it back on. This resets the Bluetooth stack in the Bluetooth software on the phone.
      3. Re-pair the headset with your phone. and test. Plantronics

    I use this ear piece for my work as a Natural Gas Emergency technician. We get numerous calls a day from our call center and instead of using my cell phone while driving my work truck, I just tap on the ear piece and am able to respond without any major distractions to my driving. I have used other ear pieces in the past but none of them compare with the clarity and volume control of this ear piece. I am very satisfied with it and have recommended it to several of my co-workers.

    I have enjoyed using this so far. I did buy smaller ear pieces from Plantronics for my small inner ear area. It has cut out a time a two and disconnects for no reason at times then reconnects on it's own. Won't operate my book app - stop and start the audio book. I must control that from my phone.
