    With the new hands free laws in most cities and although my car is equipped with this feature, I decided to buy a unit that won't lose connection each time I leave my vehicle. This one works beautifully.

      Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505. This model does not feature caller announce, however, if your phone has a built-in voice assistant you can use it through your headset by pressing and holding the call button for two seconds then releasing it and saying a command. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer care group at www.plantronics.com/support if you have any questions! Plantronics

    I needed a device that was hands free and I can take anywhere with me. I love the fact it has its own portable charger that I can hook on to my jeans or purse to recharge if needed

    I needed a new earpiece since the old one kept dropping my calls or not pairing fast enough. This one hasn't dropped a call yet and pairs very quickly.
