    I had trouble setting this up - but in fairness, I'm no techie and I get easily frustrated with new technology. UGH! I think I'll pass this on to my hubby and let him have fun figuring it out - and it will be a very worthwhile gadget for him!

    I had the older version of this Bluetooth and it worked great. This one is ok the battery life sucks. When it's fully charged it only gets 7 hours but the older version was 11. Newer is not always better.

      Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505 Bluetooth headset. Talk time depends on the specific headset model, this Explorer 505 has up to 7 hours of talk time, while our Explorer 80 provides you up to 11 hours.

      If talk time is your priority in comparison with noise cancellation or wind reduction, we recommend that you consider our Explorer 80 over other models. Plantronics

    its okay. Very sensitive picks up every little noise and the buttons were very small and hard to use. However cause I'm avid about getting my money's worth i used it until it fell apart about a year later
