    I bought this to upgrade from the Jabar Bluetooth that I currently own. It was dropping calls and the quality began to degrade. This Plantronics Bluetooth is a huge improvement. I didn’t want the Bluetooth that wear around your neck. I needed something small and compact. And this one fit the bill.

    You need to use the ear piece, without it, it just keeps falling off. The voice quality on my end is pretty good, but I've had others say it sounds like I'm talking in a tunnel. When I'm in traffic or loud areas, still works pretty good, filtering out background sounds.

    This bluetooth is light and the sound is outstanding. The one thing I don't like about the bluetooth is it does not give you caller ID when a call is coming in

    This is a great blue tooth but it can hurt your ear a little bit and it does not announce the person or number that is calling you.

    It can be hard to be heard and hard to hear conversations because the fit is a little loose. If you have smaller ears it may fit you perfectly. This sucker will stay charged for ever!

    The Plantronics headset works really well. It is pretty straightforward and simple, without a lot of weight to it, which I like. Sound clarity is excellent and people don't complain when I am using it.
