    Sound was/is great, but just not very comfortable for me. I think I have average size ears, but this felt like it would only be comfortable for small ears. Returned and bought something else.

    Worked great and easy to program. The one downfall was it picks up a lot of background noise though for the person on the other end, it needs better noise suppression.

      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Explorer 505 Headset, however we're sorry to hear about your experience. If you are experiencing background noise issues, please note that while it features noise reduction technology, your environment might be better suited for a headset with an external microphone like the Voyager Series. You might also want to try resetting the Bluetooth connection with the phone. To do so: 1) Completely unpair from your phone. 2) Power off and on both devices. 3) Press and hold the call button until the LED flashes red/blue on your headset. 4) Reconnect. Please note this unit has a one-year limited warranty from date of purchase. We thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will forward your comments to our team as a consideration. Feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at: https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/support/contact if you have any questions! plantronics

    Overall nice, but it is uncomfortable to wear after an hour. The ear bidis very uncomfortable. Gratefully I had an older non working device that I exchanged for a better fit.
