    Just what I needed to keep my hands free while I am renovating the interior of my home. Now I won’t be missing calls or getting my iPhone filthy dirty. Great price too.

    I got this item originally to listen to books on tape while I work out. I don't know how I ever lived without it. It's wonderful, easy to use and so helpful. I highly recommend it .

    It's easy to use. Lasts at least seven hours and I just love it. My last one lasted me two years so I hope this will last that long or longer.

    Really does have 7 hrs talk time. Very comfortable even though it has a "one size fits all" earbud. Feels weightless in my ear. Voice command recognition is flawless as is how I hear the party talking to me and how I sound to them. Easiest volume control to use of any headset I've ever used. Redial function not working with my phone but the last headset stopped doing that too. I suspect an Android update compatibility issue but using voice command to dial is so easy, I really don't care about the lost redial capability anymore.

    This Bluetooth makes me miss my old Motorola. When you receive a call the Plantronics doesn't give you the # that's calling you. You either need to blindly answer or pick up your phone to see who's calling. Somtimes when the phone rings the device doesn't tell you there's a call. Has good sound but that's the best I can say about this device.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thank you for your honest review on our Explorer 505. This model does not feature caller announce and it won't tell you the name or number of an incoming call's contact. If you're looking for a headset with this feature we recommend that you consider our Voyager Edge, Voyager Legend or Voyager 5200. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer care group at www.plantronics.com/support if you have any questions. Plantronics
