    I purchased this for my husband and he never leaves the house without it. He spends a lot of time in his vehicle for work and has been using a Blue Tooth headset for over 10 yrs and this is about his fourth but well worth the money.

    This is my second Plantronics blue tooth (lost the first one), and the Plantronics devices have the best reception, and the people I speak to tell me it has the best clarity at the other end!

    Battery life is "seven hours of talk time." To use it, I slide the switch, watch the LED turn green, and set it into my ear. Soon I forget that it is present. Sounds good at both ends of the conversation. Good ergonomics.

    I enjoy using the headset listening to music I recorded and music from the apps I have on my phone and using the phone without actually picking it up and manually answering or calling persons I need to contact.

    Great headset. Minimizes most background road noise. Connects to two bluetooth devices which is handy. Very comfortable. You can order other size ear fittings if needed but what comes in the box should work.

    Tried ear-buds but callers could not hear me, exchanged for this Bluetooth headset and calls are clear and callers have no further issues hearing me. Very happy with this purchase!

    You can hear good from it, however, it's easy to break, be careful where you leave it.

    I’ve been using this model for years now, and I love it. It is light, easy to use, and I only have to replace it when I accidentally put it through the laundry or lose it.
