    Very good product. Easy to pair. Good audio quality. However, after a couple of years of daily use, the battery is beginning to show some aging and requires more frequent charging.

    Plantronics has always made a good product. This fits that description. Maybe I'm just getting old, but the highest volume doesn't seem that high.

    This is the second bluetooth of the same model that I have purchased because it's simple, works well, easy to use, and I really like the charging strap. I have purchased other brands/models that cost twice as much and I like this one best.

    I have been using this Bluetooth Headset for about two weeks now and I like it a lot. People can't believe that I am talking thru an earpiece. Lightweight and very comfortable in the ear.

    Works great! Easy pairing, voice activated and good sound quality. My wife loved it. So did our dog, who chewed it to pieces in less than a week. I guess this white model Bluetooth tastes like vanilla. Back to Best Buy for another one.

    I have purchased two Marque 2 M165s in the past and have loved them. The first one died after 1 year and the other one I lost after having it for over a year, but the connectivity was great. When I went to buy another one, Best Buy was sold out of the Marque 2 M165. So, I decided to try the Explorer 500...Very disappointed. The battery life is not as great, the connectivity randomly drops when 2 phones are connected and callers have complained about not hearing me clearly. When I loose this one (lol), I am going back to the Marque 2 M165.
