I would recommend this to a friendMixed review...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had numerous Plantronics Bluetooth earpieces... but this one seems real glitchy. Sometimes it works great, other times, not so much! A number of people have said I sounded so muffled and the signal was breaking up so bad (great cell signal) I had to go to speaker phone which is totally annoying. I may end up exchanging it for another model.

Posted .Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Explorer 505 Headset. We're sorry to hear you've had audio issues. In order to troubleshoot it, you might want to try resetting the Bluetooth connection between your earpiece and phone to clear the Bluetooth stack. To do so: https://goo.gl/g5CxHa. Testing your headset with different phones and also at different locations and while connected to a single device at a given time is ideal in order to isolate the cause of the problem. If you get the same results after following the previous suggestions, most likely there is an actual problem with your unit and should be replaced. Please note this unit has a one-year limited warranty from date of purchase. We will forward your comments to our team for review them. Feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at: https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/support/contact if you require further assistance!

Posted .Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505, we are sorry to hear you're experiencing trouble with your unit.
In order to troubleshoot connectivity or audio issues 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. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer care group at www.plantronics.com/support if you require assistance.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat while it lasted
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This earpiece worked as expected literally until the day the warranty expired, at which time the maximum volume got so low that it was unusable. It was never dropped or gotten wet... just started whispering. It came with a nifty magnetic USB charging strap, though, so not all bad, but for the price I expected it to keep going quite a while longer.
