    Nice size but doesn’t sync to contacts. Charging cord connector is a little weird & have to make sure it connects. Answer button is not easy to press

    This is a solid bluetooth headset. Range and clarity are both good. My only reason for not 5 stars, is I wish it said who was calling instead of just saying incoming call.

    I like this bluetooth headset. It gives you 7 hours of talk time which is great for me because I wear it while I'm working. I would like it to fit a bit more snug to my ear, but it works fine.

    I love this headset, especially the talking feature. It tells me what is going on, when it's connected, how much battery is left. Wonderful features. Also, the signal is strong. I can leave my phone in my basement office and go out to our detached garage for a few minutes and still have connectivity.

    Excellent sound. I do not think that for the money you can beat the Plantronics Bluetooth Headset!! I have tried more expensive ones, but I am extremely pleased with both the comfort and performance of This Bluetooth Headset. I use it while working from home.

    I like it. When u turn it on it tells u how many hours are left. The charge holds a long time. It has fallen out of my ear but I still like using it around the house so I keep going doing things and still talk. The range away from my is ok but wish it was further.

    This is the third Bluetooth that I've had. This one comes with great damage repair for only $12. Which ended up saving me $80

    I love the headset. I have had them before I always break them because I’m very bad with my devices. But they have the best audio and don’t emit too much background noise. Every time I use them I always ask the person if they can hear me clearly and they always say yes.

    great quality for sound however the ear clamp is not always secure. Why not make the part that loops around the ear a little longer.

      That may be an issue with the headset or with the connection between the headset and phone. 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 and test.

      If the issue is the same we recommend testing the device with another phone to determine if it's on the phone or headset. If the issue persists even on a different phone we can replace that device, it comes with a 1 year warranty. Please don't hesitate to contact us at www.plantronics.com/support if you require assistance. Plantronics

    After years of using Motorola BlueTooth HeadSets they have become difficult to find. It was suggested by a BestBuy Team Member that I try a Plantronics BlueTooth HeadSet and I am really pleased that I followed his suggestion. It is really excellent and the Battery Life is Great!
