    Upgraded from a no name device. This is 100x better. My only complaint is that it starts to feel uncomfortable after extended wearing.

    A Customer from Havelock, NC  
    Went through a bunch of different manufacturers until my wife spent the extra money on a Plantronics for me nearly 2 years ago. Anything Plantronics is awesome. Great sound, great battery life, and great external noise cancellation.

    4 of 5 Great set for the $ Saturday, September 13, 2008
    A Customer from rochester, ny  
    I've had one for 2 yrs and it has worked perfect. Just bought a 2nd one to replace my wife's motorolla set which has been a problem with her Palm Treo. She loves it as well. The only concern is that it picks up too much and it's not good to use if it is windy outside.

    5 of 5 best product and worth buying Monday, September 08, 2008
    karthik from bothell,wa  
    I recently bought this item after I lost my samsung wep 200. The headset is really cool and nice and clear. Very easy to use for volume control. I would recommend buying this and worth paying for. thanks to buy.com :)

    5 of 5 Loved it so much, I bought THREE! Wednesday, September 03, 2008
    Bret from Cinci, Ohio  
    My only complaint with this headset is that one of the three that I have purchased hurts my ear after wearing it for a few hours. Probably some freak issue with my ear. Battery life is incredible. I use mine all day, every day, but don't talk for a long time (lots of short calls usually) and I only have to charge these about once every week and a half. The sound quality is pretty good (remember this may also depend on your phone). I use mine with a $600 AT&T Tilt, so I think the PDA phone also has great sound quality. Syncing three of these to one phone was no problem. Overall, one of the best headsets you can get for the price.

    5 of 5 Great Quality - Excellent price - Sunday, August 31, 2008
    Bert from Seal Beach, Calif  
    I bought this after I had bought another product by the same maker. I use this one more than the other one because it has a better and louder listening tone. It is easy to answer using one finger for those who need Blue tooth capability when driving a car the volume is very good and it fits comfortable in the ear.

    3 of 5 Not my best experience with a headset Friday, August 22, 2008
    Joe from Deer Park  
    I am using this device with a Blakberry 8830 and the reception is very poor. There is a large amount of static and cracking/clicking/popping during calls. When using this in the car, my wife is constantly complaining about the road noise that she hears. I am going to be shopping for something else very soon. I like the size and feel of the device but it just doesn't work well with my set up.

    4 of 5 great Monday, August 04, 2008
    A Customer from Los Angeles  
    For the price, can't lose. It sounds clear and pretty load in my ear. It's a little uncomfortable at times, but not horrible. I just adjust it a little and I'm fine. The two problems I have with it are; 1. It picks up EVERYTHING! A neighbor was laughing and the person I was talking to was asking me if I was at a party. Any noise within like a 40 foot radius is gonna be picked up. It doesn't make it unusable or anything. Just might be a little annoying for whoever is recieving. 2. While my phone is in my pant pocket it gets a little staticy. Not too bad. Just move my phone around a little and it's fine. Sometimes I have to take it out of my pocket though. It's not that bad though, not like others would make you believe.

    2 of 5 Poor sound quality Tuesday, July 29, 2008
    A Customer from Seneca, SC  
    I am very disappointed. My wife states the sound quality is so bad, she can't stand for me to use the headset. This is my first blue-tooth device and maybe my last.

    4 of 5 It lives up to its billing Tuesday, July 29, 2008
    Reggie from New York  
    Pricing for this product through Buy.com was better than anywhere on the Internet. The shipment came faster than expected. The headset connected to my cell phone the first time. (After a full charge of course.) Fits great. It isn't the best with blocking surrounding noise but still is a great value!

    4 of 5 Good Value for money Tuesday, July 22, 2008
    A Customer from NYC  
    I purchased two of these headsets for $25 each. I am using it with my Samsung A437. My friend is using it on a Motorola L7. The audio is clear. However while driving I wish the volume could be a bit louder. I notice that if you get more than 10 feet away from the phone, voice quality goes down. Since I use it primarily in the car it's not a major issue. Overall, I consider this item to be a great upgrade to my Samsung headset. It works well; it is sturdy and fits comfortably in my ear. My previous Samsung headset volume was low, it was not well constructed and the ear hook broke off. It's great that most people are now unaware that I'm using a headset.

    A Customer from Wilmore, KY.  
    This product works great. I had the same model a couple of years ago and loved how I got this new one for $50 less by using buy.com. Thanks for the low prices, especially with gas prices so high.

    5 of 5 This Bluetooth Rocks!! Monday, July 21, 2008
    Trish from Philadelphia PA  
    I actually bought two of them, one for my Mom who was using the flat type headset and she complained that when there was noise around her she could not hear. The Plantronics fits into the ear canal and this puts the sound directly into your ear, so outside noises do not affect it. She loves it and now when she calls she can doesn't have to keep asking people to repeat what they say to her!!! The second one was for me to replace another bluetooth for my second cell phone. The price was great and it is going on my list for my sister, she has a birthday coming up!!! Go Plantronics!

    4 of 5 Good value Sunday, July 13, 2008
    A Customer from FL  
    It was at a good price and it performs well. I tried a bluetooth headset before that the highest volume level was still so low that I couldn't understand anyone I was taling to on it. This one doesn't have that problem. I've also never had anyone complain about not being able to understand me when I've been talking on it. All in all, it does what it is supposed to do.

    5 of 5 Bluetooth Sunday, July 13, 2008
    reh6920@cox.net from San Diego, CA  
    I absolutely love the plantronics bluetooth I bought. However, in the initial set up, somehow, I missed it, or it never came up, but the security code was never entered. Even though I was connect- ed, it kept shutting off and I was having a hard time getting it back on. Finally, I gave up. Shut it off for an evening and in the morning reinstalled it as though it was new. This time the security code was requested, I entered it and, Voila! Now it works as it was meant to. The best thing about the bluetooth is that I can hear better than on my cell without the bluetooth. I recommend it highly.
