    I purchased a replacement of this same model. However, this time the unit didn't come with the soft ear cushion as pictured.

    Works great, connected quickly to my iphone. Sound is good, could be slightly louder. Tiny charger fits anywhere and is unique. My old Motorola bit the dust so this was its replacement.

    Good, Simple Headset

    I've been using Plantronics Bluetooth headsets for years, and I can't say enough good things about them. They're simple to set up, reliable, and they sound great. Whether you are paring them with IOS or Google devices, you can't really go wrong. Battery life is typically 7 hours. The headset has a button on the side to answer incoming calls, or if you have the headset off, it will answer the call if you turn it on during an incoming call. Volume controls are convenient and the device has enough adapters to ensure it stays comfortably in your ear. 5/5 great pick.
