Having had mixed results with several other headsets, I was very pleased to find that this headset has worked reliably every time I have used it. No unexplained disconnects, no problems with people hearing me, no problems with clarity or wind noise. I have used it to successfully teach full day webinars with no issues (recharged during lunch break - just to be on the safe side). I would recommend this headset to anyone. I used it with an iPhone and a Motorola Droid with the same results.

if you are looking for a good value, simple to use, and solid product, the Explorer 505 is an excellent fit. While it is not as feature rich as some of its higher end counterpart, its a very good solution if you are looking for just a straight forward blue tooth ear piece.

I was in need of a hands free device to help me while driving. This device has worked wonders for me with that. One click answers my calls while driving and I don't need to look at my phone to call someone either. I just use "Hey Siri call ...." and it works perfectly. Holds a charge for hours if I use it only for driving, so I can go days without having to charge this. I'm happy with the product!

I like the size and lightweight of thus earpiece. Fairly comfortable. Decent volume. Battery can last up to 7 hours. Occasionally I have to turn unit off then back on to make certain it is on to accept an incoming call.

Hi! Thank you for your honest review, however we are sorry to hear about your issue. If you are experiencing issues at the moment you answer a call you may want to try to reset the connection between the headset and your mobile device. 1) Unpair the headset from your mobile phone by accessing your phone Bluetooth settings. 2) Power off your mobile phone for 2 minutes and turn it back on. 3) Re-pair the headset by pressing and holding down the call control button until you see the LED flashing red and blue. 4) Access to your Bluetooth settings and select "PLT_ E500". Once successfully paired, you will hear "pairing successful" and the LED on your headset will stop flashing red and blue. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at www.plantronics.com/support if you require further assistance.

Bought this one for my lady. It’s definitely a step up from her last one with the double ear plugs.

This ear piece is the first i've purchased with the in-ear design versus the wraparound the ear design. It is much more comfortable and I'm able to wear for the extended period of time without any sort of pain.
