    This Bluetooth had excellent sound and was not uncomfortable at all. I often forgot I had it in my ear.Pretty durable as well. I slammed the truck door on it and it still worked fine until the poor thing literally fell to pieces about two weeks later. I will be buying another one.

    OK but not great

    This device does provide me with enough talk time to last me 2-3 working days. I would not have gained any benefit from a more expensive model, just to get added talk time. I have difficulty with the device comprehending verbal commands. It often sends me to an incorrect person or # and I have to repeat the commands, for texting, 2 or 3 times. I should have researched before purchasing this brand. My previous was a Samsung and it was great. (Just let it fly out the window while on the interstate).

    I recently replaced an earlier model of this line. It served admirably for years before it died. I believe the sound on this is, in fact, better than the previous model. I wish this one a long and happy life....me too!

    Overall good for the price but I do find it difficult when trying to make a call. And it is sometimes difficult to hear due to the signal breaking up. But I do like it.

    Its ok. It does the job. I've had better. This one doesn't announce the caller, talk time is 7 hours. I think overpriced. But the quality of the call is good.

    I absolutely love this Bluetooth device. Simple to connect can connect to multiple devices at once and it has great battery power. Oh the sound quality is great as well. If you have small ears, you're ears will be tender for a few days but that's a personal issue ;-)

    I have been using a bluetooth of some fashion for the past 8 years. Recently, my early generation Plantronics unit suddenly died. I tried some online units only to be dissapointed, and went back to Plantronics. The 505 fits comfortably and does stay connected even 30 feet plus distance. However the sound levels are lower than my previous model, and if I'm in the mall or similar environ while my voice is clear to the caller, even using 505 max volume and phone max volume it is difficult to hear the caller. I will be trying something new soon.

    Very good sound quality. But the portion that fits into your ear is way too large and uncomfortable. Distance not as far as my former motorola.
