Just okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is not very good, so I'm told from those I'm speakong with. Sounds pretty good & okay as far as comfort. Battery isn't too bad as far as how long it lasts. I feel like my older model one of this was better. But as I stated, I would put thus at about just above mid level for bluetooth quality in all aspects.

Posted .Hello and thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 500. However, we are sorry to hear you are having some issues. Audio Issues with Bluetooth headsets can be caused by a bad connection or an actual problem with the unit. You may want to reset the Bluetooth connection with your mobile. To do so: 1) Unpair the headset from your mobile phone by accessing your Bluetooth settings.
2) Power off your mobile phone for 2 minutes and turn it back on. 3) Re-pair the headset by pressing and holding down the call control button until you see the LED flashing red and blue. 4) Access to your Bluetooth settings and select "PLT_E500 ". Once successfully paired, you will hear "pairing successful" and the LED on your headset will stop flashing red and blue. You may also want to test the headset connected with a different mobile to completely isolate the issue. If for some reason you still encounter the same issue then it means the headset has an actual problem and it is best to replace it. Remember this unit counts with a limited warranty since the first day of purchase, and if you need a replacement you can simply click on the following link for further instructions: https://bit.ly/2N637EC. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at 800-985-9815 if you require assistance.

Best Bluetooth headset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 3rd Explorer 505 Bluetooth I've own. The audio is excellent and calls are clear. Every time I loose my Bluetooth I purchase the same one. I wouldn't change it for no other.
I would recommend this to a friend Great quality design, and performance.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always chosen Plantronics earpieces over other brands, because they've always proven to be high quality construction, design, and performance. My second choice was Motorola when Plantronics was not available. I recently lost this one, and couldn't find another or an equivalent Motorola (who no longer makes these from my understanding). I bought a Jabra at the equivalent price point and product line, and was VERY disappointed.
