Both myself and my fiancee have this headset. We've both tried the so-called better ones and were highly disappointed. These are the only ones we've found to work properly with our Palm phones. One was even accidentally washed with the laundry and still works! I was amazed! All in all, the absolute best bang for your buck! Even in the convertible the sound quality is great. Plantronics is the only way we'll go from here on :-)

Got this headset on sale for $12.99 and it works like a charm! I figured well if it doesn't work, I only lost $13... but I've been very pleasantly surprised. Clarity is great and volume is perfect.

Overall, I am quite pleased with the device. The only complaint that comes to mind is that over long periods of time, the earpiece becomes uncomfortable. I know Plantronics to be a reputable manufacturer, as I am an air traffic controller and they produce our headsets. I would recommend this product to others.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. The price is right and the headset is very easy for my phone to communicate with. Very comfortable to wear also. I would recommend to everyone!

I have been looking around at the retailers for a Bluetooth Earset and have been turned off by their rediculous prices. Then Buy sent me this email alert and I had to jump on it. Works better than the $45 one my wife got for the holidays.

This is my first experience with a Bluetooth headset. I use it with a new Samsung cell phone. It works when it wants too but I do not know it is the headset or the phone. Also, the volume, at the highest level, is a little low. Cannot comment on reliability because I have only had it a short time. For the price, it's worth trying.

I have purchased mainly Motorolla products in the past and have to say that I have been less than satisfied - both in price and reliability. While I can not attest to this products reliability,(only had it 2 weeks) so far the sound is great, I have no problems hearing or people hearing me. It's comfortable, and the price is right. I have tried the Motorolla fakes, as well as the rebuilt and have had the same dismal results. While I tend to believe that you get what you pay for, so far I have been pleasantly surprised with this product. If that changes, I will be back to update. Awesome price, and so far awesome product! Can't go wrong for $13.00.

At last, a headset that works. I've run through a number of headsets all with problems that made it impossible to hear one end of the conversation or another...if not both. This one is light, comfortable and clear on both ends of the call. It's easy to use, as well. Best of all, it cost $20.00 instead of the upwards of $60 I've spent in the past. Worked so well, I got one for my partner and son within the week.

Not bad for the price, easy to use and to set up. Free shipping sealed the deal and it was shipped quickly.

Easy to set up. Volume is a bit low. Microphone is OK. Convenience: once set up, when phone rings, you have to have the set in your ear. Thus, if you do not use it all the time, it is not convenient. (It has to be turned off).

Very easy to use. Good sound. Does what its suppose to, it lets me take my calls totally hands free. If you don't have to spend more money don't, this is a great bluetooth for the price. It is the law to be hands free. Great value for the price.

Battery life is astoundingly long, which is the main reason I needed to replace my previous bluetooth earpiece. One can talk for hours and be on standby all the time with no problem at all. Reception is quite clear -- no static at all and one can be quite a distance from the cellphone with no problems with reception. Buttons and lights are clear, easy to use, and easy to understand. I gave it only a "4" on ease of use, as the earbud that inserts in the ear is slightly more difficult to adjust properly in the ear than my previous earpiece, which didn't have the insert. However, this problem is lessened once you get the hang of it. Otherwise, "five stars" for this great piece of equipment.

Small and comfortable to use - I linked it to my PS3 so that I could yell at my friends on the network when they screwed up a puzzle on Little Big Planet. The voice is kinda tinny over the network, but I've yet to use it for something it was intended for, like a cellphone. Was kind of difficult to set up at first, but pretty easy to use after the initial confusion. Was excellent for the price I got it (12.99).

Having used a variety of bluetooths over the few years, I am very pleased with the Plantonics Explorer 222. It is easy to use, attaches to my Blackberry Storm quickly and provides me with the reception I need when I am using it. For the money, it is the best on the market.

My 13 year old son has been asking for a headset for his Motorazr, when I saw these for $13 I knew I couldn't beat the price. I bought 2 of them and they're great. He paired his easily and loves it, and the other works well but is just a backup headset in case something happens to the first one. Great product at a great price.

I was looking for an inexpensive "hands-free" product to use with my Palm phone. It is lightweight, easy to use, and very affordable. Minor static periodically, if you move more that 6-7 feet away from the phone, but in the car it works fine. Great value for the price. It makes a good starter handfree, until you decide what you really want.

This earset is easy to use and holds a charge well. I don't know if it stays charged as long as it claims because I recharge it nightly, but it stays charged for long talk times. I use one of these headsets in the car and in the house. Now I can actually get something done while talking on the cell phone. My only complaint is that you can't get very far away from the phone itself or the reception breaks up quickly. If I have pockets that is fine but if not I have to find a way to carry the phone with me. The headset allows push button redial of last number dialed, which comes in very handy. This product has made my commute time less boring by allowing me to chat while keeping both hands on the steering wheel. I have not had any complaints about the other party not being able to hear me and the headset volume is very good so that you can hear whom you are speaking to even with noise around you. The headset is fairly comfortable and stays on well. (I have had trouble with other headsets slipping off my ears.) I always shop Buy.com through Ebates so I get a little rebate on my purchase.

I bought this headset from buy.com for $12.99 (no rebates) to use with my iPhone. It was delivered to my address less than a week with free shipping. The usage was a snap, and the pairing up happened without any issues. The battery life is real good. The headset has got a little bent notch that sort of avoids the issue of not being able to fit into the ears snugly. My friends sometimes complain that they aren't able to hear very well when I use this headset. Perhaps it may be because I did not keep the headset at the proper angle.

small, light, minimum needed functions, looks nice and durable. It is the best you could get for the price. It is a great improvement from earlier explorers

I think this bluetooth headset is great, works very very well ( use a Blackberry 8830 - Curve - which I also love), I can't imagine how one of the $100+ items could work better enough to justify the price. The only complaint I'd have is that I wish the volume could go a little bit higher. It works fine when driving in my car, however if I open my sunroof it's too loud for me to hear other people (although they always seem to be able to hear me). I lost my previous one and bought the exact same model if that tells you anything.

The Plantronics Bluetooth 222 ear-set works pretty well. There is some interference if the phone is on the opposite side of my body from the ear-set, but I guess that is to be expected. Overall, it is a great value. I just use it while I'm driving and it's perfect. My wife paid $65 for a similar model and couldn't believe the deal I got from Buy.com. Their shipping was prompt and I will continue to buy from them.

I was skeptical at first that a Bluetooth for only $12.00 couldn't be very good but I was pleasantly surprised! It paired up very well with my LG Glimmer. Helped to solve my signal issues with my phone. I am pleased and would recommend it to my friends. I have always been pleased with the products I have purchased from Buy.com.

this product arrived fast and is comfortable. you can use on both ears has volume control. it is a typical bluetooth. not sure why people spend so much money on these devices because they are all pretty much the same. one negative is the range. i have to stay within 15 ft of my bb curve or else you get static.

I have paired this bluetooth headset with my T-mobile Dash and there hasn't been any problems as of yet. Pros: Cheap & Has an earbud. Cons: Static when out of clear view of phone & not in retail packaging (placed in a clear plastic bag). Overall: As long as you don't expect too much from a $13 headset, then this is a great value from a reliable manufacturer, Plantronics.

This was on sale last week for $12 with free shipping. Geez, too cheap to buy one so we bought two. Both paired easily, one with an LG Dare the other a LG VX5400. Work great, good sound quality. Won't have them permanently implanted so ear comfort is not a huge issue. But it was fine for me. Never thought I'd own one, but the price was compelling. And in this case, we got more than we paid for. Will use in the car and maybe save a life. Maybe mine.

Bought one of these from another site a couple months ago and love it -- until my dog ate it. Replaced it with an original jawbone which I only used about 3 times, it was far less comfortable and the volume wasn't as loud as the Plantronics headset. I happily purchased this again to replace the jawbone.
