Plantronics - Great Bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Plantronics Bluetooth. The first one lasted for 5 years. It still works. I only purchased this one because the old one would not stay paired to my new phone that is running OS 7 Nougat (an operating system problem). The bluetooth works great!
I would recommend this to a friendVery comfortable and very good sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I sometimes forget I have it on. People have commented on the improvement over my old bluetooth. The background noise is gone!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Bluetooth for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to replace the Marque 2 M180 that I lost. They work the same just an upgraded model in my opinion.
I would recommend this to a friendnot very comfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This particular model is hard on the ears after a few hours of wearing it my ears get sore, and I have to take it off for awhile.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorks good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This an okay bluetooth, but if you have little ears it will be very uncomfortable. The battery is suppose to last at least 6 hours of talk time but it only last truthfully about 3 to 4 hours of talk time on a full over night charge. The best way to conserve the battery charge is to turn it off when you are not using it. You could pickup a $25 dollar bluetooth that works just as well as this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt was ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really simple Bluetooth headset But that’s it, if you’re looking for superior comfort, and user friendly This isn’t the beat of the best

Posted .Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505 Bluetooth headset, we will forward your feedback to our team for future consideration. We recommend that you ensure your phone's call audio volume is set to high or maximum and that you increase the volume from the headset itself. In case the issue is the same we recommend testing the headset on another phone to determine if the issue is on your phone or headset.

Posted .Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505, we are sorry to hear you experienced trouble with your unit.
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.
If this does not fix your issue, we suggest pairing the headset to another cell phone as a test. If the issue is not present on the second phone, then the problem may be with the first phone, rather than the headset. If the issue exists on the second phone as well, you will need to replace the headset.

Great Bluetooth for a beginner.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since getting used to it, I am enjoying its use, and have thought about possibly purchasing another if it came in other colors. Thanks.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks great for a first Bluetooth headset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well, but the receiving end (person you're talking to) has difficulty hearing you when the headset isn't pointed directly at your mouth.
