    Plantronics is a great brand for wireless headsets. I have used them while working in a bank Call Center as well as for my own personal use. The voice clarity is excellent.

    Great earpiece. Pros: Battery life last me 4-5days talking off and on Charges quickly Pairs right off and answers calls Easy redial and volume controls Cons: Sometimes it can be a little difficult to hear the person on the other end in a loud environment, but great for driving. The charger that comes with the headset does not work well, but it takes a normal micro USB so no biggie

    My new Bluetooth headset works very good and is comfortable in my ear. My only complaint is that the rubber cushion falls off easily and can get lost. It is not easy to find replacements.

    I love the ease of connecting to my device however, the volume is low even when turned to the max. I have also been told by people I'm talking to on the device, that they can barely hear me or my words are breaking up. I expect a little more from Plantronics.

      Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505, we are sorry to hear you're experiencing trouble with your unit.

      In order to troubleshoot connectivity or audio issues you might want to try resetting the Bluetooth connection between your phone and headset to see if that helps the issue. To do so:

      1. Delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices.
      2. Once deleted, power your phone completely off, then power it back on. This resets the Bluetooth stack in the Bluetooth software on the phone.
      3. Re-pair the headset with your phone. If this does not fix your issue, we suggest pairing the headset to another cell phone as a test.

      If the issue is not present on the second phone, then the problem may be with the first phone, rather than the headset. If the issue exists on the second phone as well, you will need to replace the headset. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer care group at www.plantronics.com/support if you require assistance. Plantronics

    Great ear piece! I mainly was looking to stream music while I workout. I only wish it came with additional sizes for the piece that goes in your ear. Its a great ear piece though. I love it!

    It is hard to find a good Bluetooth headset around nowadays. My mother can't live without one. I bought this for her on Mother's day and she loves it. She has no problem with putting it on or having it stay in the ear. She says it is better than the previous ones she had. This has all the essentials: it is comfortable, strong battery life, the volume can be set as loud you need it, and it is easy to put on ad take off.

    This product is very comfortable. It sits in the ear with absolutely no discomfort. Very easy to pair with other devices and the volume level on the device is loud. The people I work with can hear the audio from my bluetooth in the next cubicle. It also comes with a flat plastic rubber magnetic USB cable there is very convenient to carry. No bulky cord but it does not come with an adapter. Great product for the price.
