    I needed a bluetooth headset for my home office setup and the Plantronics Explorer 505 does what it advertises. Good choice. Sound is clear and crisp. Excellent purchase if you're in the market looking.

    I purchased it for my husband's birthday. He doesn't like the paperclip-like feature so many bluetooths have. This seems to stay in place.

    The reception is pretty good and the sound quality is good. The only concern is the inner ear piece can be uncomfortable after prolonged use.

    Fit is a bit off but the sound is good. You get over the awkwardness of having something attached to your ear. Cybermen jokes were of course expected!

    It announces who is texting you. It doesn't announce who is calling. Otherwise it's great!!

    I have lost hearing in one of my ears so talking on the phone is difficult at best. This has greatly improved my comfort and ability to have a phone conversation. Huge plus is that I can listen to my music with it. Great price and great product!

    I love Plantronics bluetooths. I purchased this one to repace my Plantronics M90. I was looking for a basic one that announced calls. The sales associate and I read box and looked it up online. This model said it announced calls, but sadly, it did not. The sound quality was fine. It's just that this 505 model is $10 more than the M90 and really not worth the extra money. I'll stick with the very basic for my needs.

      Hello and thank you for your honest review! The Explorer 505 doesn't have the necessary Bluetooth profile to announce who is calling, is this stated in the box you purchased? Please don't hesitate to contact Plantronics Customer Care at 855-765-7878 Plantronics

    Can call and receive calls with hands free dialing. The volume for instructions is to low, but the calls come through loud enough.

    I like this because it is light and holds a good charge for up to seven hours of talking. It also recharges quickly. The downside is it is so light that it is easy to lose or draw up from your pocket. That is why I had to replace the other one.

    Great sound quality. The battery life could be better and the charger functionality isn't a simple plug in it's a USB that you have to buy a connector piece for the car or wall. Not for listening to music more for just talk time throughout the day
