I really like it. It only has one flaw, I notice when I'm walking under the freeway it tends to get a lil spotty in it's connection to my phone. I'm not sure what causes it but other than that it's pretty cool. I will have to admit there are times when I wish the voice would just let me answer the call without announcing that I'm answering the call LOL.

Buying Bluetooth earpieces is like eating the first piece of cake. You don't know what it will taste like until you taste it and then it's too late!
This unit paired easily, has decent battery life, a great price, but is just not loud enough if you're driving down the highway!

I love this bluetooth. It is easy to use, comfortable fit. The best is knowing I can talk up to 7 seven hours on one charge.

This little headset is a workhorse! Calls coming in and going out are crystal clear, and the rubber attachments make it very comfortable to wear. It holds a charge for what seems like forever this little headset is a workhorse! Calls coming in and going out are crystal clear, and the rubber attachments make it very comfortable to wear. It holds a charge extremely well, and I usually only have to charge it every other day. It Both looks and feels nice, and it’s small size makes it unobtrusive.

I purchased this Bluetooth after having a Bose Bluetooth for years. Although there is not as much noise cancelling as the Bose, it seems to be working well. Connection does not seem to drop off the Bluetooth, as they started doing with my Bose.

So far it has been pretty good. Rarely does it say, "Did you say look up" when I distinctly said "Call" some one. It has been pretty reliable.

I just purchased a Lenovo desktop computer.I love it. just getting use to the Lenovo brand. It's 25 inches screen which makes it easy on the eyes. The keyboard is much smaller than the one had before so it taking a while to adjust to it. It is great.

Overall good BT headset

I have been mostly happy with Plantronics - Explorer 505. I initially went in to buy a Jabra headset but ended up getting the Plantronics due to it's 4.1 version instead of 3.0 Bluetooth version on the Jabra. Version 4.1 provides better battery saving technology as well as other improvements over 4.0 let alone 3.0. That said I occasionally get static on the headset even with my phone right next to me on my desk. But I also have to say my office is where my 2.4GHz/5GHz router is as well as another BT transceiver on my desktop. So a lot of wireless activity going on in very near proximity of all my devices. I haven't used the headset outside of my office since I use the headset as a hands free option while on my computer. Despite the BT 4.1 version battery life seems to be just ok. But then again the headset is very small thus a very small battery. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to my friends.

I am a fan of Plantronics Bluetooth product. I have purchase the Plantronics M165 Bluetooth headset a similar headset. I love my M165! The only thing I have found that I don't like about the Explorer 505 is the silicone eartip. The M165 had different sizes you could choose from. Where the Explorer 505 has ONLY ONE! The loop on the silicone eartip is so flexible it falls out my ear. I bought a set for my frind and the same thing happens to her.

For what I paid for this bluetooth, which was around $60, I think I got a pretty good value. The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't come with multiple ear piece sizes. Luckily I had some from previous bluetooths, so I was able to change it out fairly easily. It works well and I haven't had any real technical issues with the device.
