    The battery life isn't good. I upgraded from an older bluetooth and the battery lasted much longer. This battery only last about 4 hours although it says 6

    Bluetooth works but unable to hold a full charge. It was only 22% each time. I was able to exchange to the m95 Bluetooth but I like the usb charger on the Plantronic 505.

      Hello! Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 500. However, we are sorry to hear about your experience. Charging issues with Bluetooth headsets can be a problem caused by the power source, cable or the product itself (it can be the charging connector or the battery on some cases). Next time, you may want to try using a different charging cable to completely isolate the issue. The M95 headset uses the same charging cable as the Explorer 500, so you can still use the same charger for your M95 headset. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at 800-985-9815 if you require assistance. plantronics
