    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.

    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

    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.

      Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Explorer 505. If you are experiencing audio issues, please try resetting the Bluetooth connection. To do so: Delete the headset from your cell phone’s list of paired devices. Once deleted, power your phone completely off, then power it back on. This resets the Bluetooth stack in the Bluetooth software on the phone. Finally re-pair the headset with your phone. Testing your headset with different phones and also at different locations and while connected to a single device at a given time is ideal in order to isolate the cause of the problem. Thank you for your comments, we will forward them to our Product Development team, as we appreciate feedback based on customer use to create the best possible products. Feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at: https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/support/contact if you require further assistance! plantronics

    The plantronic wireless earpiece is an excellent product. The quality and durability is excellent. Had to have a replacement but with the 2 yrs protection plan available. I was able to switch it out with no cost. Thanks
