    Have used Plantronics bluetooth for many years. Have tried others over the years, no comparison! As a contractor, especially love the "Find my bluetooth" app, which I've had to use many times...!

    I wasn't able to pair up my old bluetooth to my new phone, so I ended up buying a newer version. The bluetooth is good, but the older version has a better earpiece, that was alot more comfortable.

    I had it for over 4 years and still bought another when needed for another phone, I like it a lot. I tried other products but not as good as the Plantronics. Battery life and clarity is good.

    I have had an older Plantronics headset for about 6 years. It finally broke ( I washed and dried it with my laundry). I bought the Explorer 505 as a replacement. It looks pretty much the same as my older Bluetooth headset. The only difference is that it doesn't seem as loud as my older headset. I wish it had type-c charging, but otherwise, it's perfect for me. I have a few stereo Bluetooth earphones (Jabra 75t, Samsung Buds), but I prefer this type when I drive or just talk on the phone because I think it sounds clearer.

    This is a good Bluetooth for the price. Headset holds about a 7 hour talk time charge. I have small ears and it fits comfortably.

    Perfect. I was really in need of something like this, because I need to have two devices connected at the same time. It is excellent, comfortable, optimal AUDIO. Congratulations.
