    Plantronics gave you several ear pieces to choose from. Now they only give you one and it does not fit right. It’s a good Bluetooth earpiece if it fits your ear.

      Hello! Thank you for your honest review, however, we are sorry to hear about your experience. Normally our Service Team in charge of replacements replaces the unit for the same model. However, if they find that the unit has been discontinued and no longer available for replacement they replace the unit for an updated version. While we thrive for our headset to fit everyone, we understand that one size doesn't fit all. With this in mind we include 3 different eartip sizes for a better fit: https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/product/spare-ear-gel-kit-3-pack. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at 800-985-9815 if you require assistance. plantronics

    My ears are not small at all but the plastic cover that fits in your ear caused sores because it's too big. I was disappointed with call announcement because it doesn't say who's calling.

      Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505 Bluetooth headset.

      We recommend that you consider using a different ear tip size if the included ear tip is too large or uncomfortable. You can find our Small ear tip kit with this part number 201955-01.

      Our Explorer series do not feature caller announce, if you'd like to use this feature and have this capability we encourage you to consider our Voyager Legend, Voyager Edge or Voyager 5200, since they all feature the caller announce feature. Plantronics
