  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:8 Months

  Strengths: This is the best by far. Comfy, stays put, charges fast, great sound on both ends.

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: I had one for 7 months and it stopped taking a charge. May have been my bad, cuz I plugged it it while it was on, (don't do that). Sent it to Plantronics, and they sent it back in a week, working fine, with a new charger and set of ear tips!

  Duration of ownership:60 Days

  Strengths: Comfort, dual cell and office use, great reception.

  Weaknesses: People have a hard time hearing me.

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased the device because it will work with my office phone and cell phone. Love that feature. It is comfortable and I even forget it is in. The problem I have is that even in my office with very little noise beyond the HVAC unit people say they have a hard time hearing me when I am talking on it. I have had a motorola that did not have that problem but it would not serve dual purpose feature.

  Duration of ownership:1 Weeks

  Strengths: talk and standby time,light weight, very comfortable to wear, ease of use

  Weaknesses: sometimes light "crackling" or "popping" interference noises but am told small amount is expected due to Bluetooth being a radio 2.4ghz standard(didn't know that!).

  Overall Evaluation: This is my first Bluetooth headset. Chose after seeing over 45 reviews(about the single most for any headset under $60) here on pricegrabber, with overwhelming amount being very positive. The first unit I received failed to transfer calls to headset(whether incoming or dialing out)often.After a prompt return and exchange for another unit from good 'ol Newegg, I'm happy to report all is well.This model is lightweight,economically priced,paired flawlessly w/my cellphone(Samsung "Alias") comfortable to wear (especially given the 3 included mutli-sized ear pieces for customization to ear canal size),long talk & standby time for its price level,overall call clarity, and volume level loud enough to hear calls while driving w/windows down. People on the other end of the call remark I sound loud and clear, with some even saying I don't sound like I'm on a headset.You can't beat this model for it's price and features. I see other headsets costing a good deal more and not worth the extra $$$!Lastly I will warn first-time bluetooth users that since it is a standard that works on the 2.4ghz frequency,don't be surprised if some calls are not crytal clear(just on your end)and expect some interference/crackling when near certain other drvice competing for that frequency and/or many electronic devices in a certain very local area you're sitting, etc. I'm told this is typical of ALL bluetooth headsets no matter the price level. Overall call clarity is very good just don't expect same level of clarity as you would actually talking directly on the phone itself.

  Strengths: Great sound (incoming and outgoing). Great range (70ft from phone - clear line of sight). Comfortable

  Weaknesses: ????Haven't found any. :-)

  Overall Evaluation: Decided on this headset after test driving about 12 headsets. Went through several sites and pricegrabber had the best price. I read the reviews "the highest rated one under $50". After reading the reviews and then using it, the reviewers were dead-on: This headset works great (sound quality), has great range (70ft-clear line of site. 40ft-In a high electrial disturbance area.) I can lay my phone(Nextel ic902) on the bar near the center of my home and walk anywhere in the home and about 45 ft outside to feed my dog (aprox 65ft from phone). Headset is convenient to wear and charge w/ good battery life. I read reveiws claiming that it is hard to push the on/off button.......I did not find this problem. Put your thumb at the charging port. Find the bump on the on/off switch with your index finger and pinch down. I can do it without even looking. The volume is great. I can adjust volume on the phone and on the headset (Most headsets can only be adjusted ON the headset), so there is ample volume for any situation. Comfortable for hours of use. Headset does not move or wiggle like alot of over-the-ear headsets. So I can work and play (4-wheel'n). The headset comes with 3 ear adapters that go into your ear, so exact comfort is easy to achieve. The half boom is sensitive enough for me to voice dial, even in my Tractor-trailer truck. Noise-cancelation qualities are great too. No one complains of "Truck noise" now. The foam piece that goes over the microphone can slip off, with in and out of pocket maneuvers. Someone suggested a small drop of glue to solve that problem. But, I don't need it except in windy situations. So, I may just leave it off.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Pairs easily with the Sprint 6700 and Sprint Mogul (6800).Good clarity on both ends.I can actually hear other people with this headset (good volume)Comfortable earpiece

  Weaknesses: It seems that over time, it has become more critical to get the alignment of the mic to my mouth just right.

  Overall Evaluation: I have had this headset for over a year, and have been really happy with it. It is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I tried out 4 or 5 other headsets ranging in price from $20 to $150, and this was the only headset for which the following 2 things worked: 1) Other people could hear me without any distortion. 2) I could hear other people. A couple of the headsets I tried had active noise cancellation, and other people could hear me wonderfully, BUT I couldn\\\\\\\'t get the volume loud enough to hear them. I\\\\\\\'m not deaf by any means, it\\\\\\\'s just that most headsets don\\\\\\\'t have enough volume to the earpiece. This was the first headset I found where I had to actually keep the volume off of max. They seem to have good range. I have been able to get 30 - 50 feet out of them, with little static. I even keep my phone downstairs, and am able to make it to some rooms upstairs without the headset cutting out. Pretty impressive to me. All in all, this is a good headset, that I got at a great price ($50). There are probably newer and better models out there, but this one still keeps me happy.

  Strengths: Comfort, battery life, call quality (both ways), interchangeable ear pieces, pairs quickly, blocks wind noise (up to a moderate breeze).

  Weaknesses: Blocks wind better than other headsets but it does still get wind noise with strong wind.

  Overall Evaluation: First of all, the comfort and call quality are the most notable strong points. You will (as I have) forget that they are on. Granted, it wraps around the ear, but it the weight is balanced and the material is not smooth and no rough edges (smooth can be a bad thing). There are 3 ear pieces you can use. One is a weird shape that sort of locks into the ear, one is large and you stuff it in your ear (good for loud environments) and the small round piece is the best in my opinion as it simple rests just inside the ear, making it easy to forget you are wearing it.The call quality it excellent. Clear as a bell. Callers have never asked if I was on a bluetooth (you can usually tell if someone is on headset due to an echo, the annoying voice feedback where they hear their own voice, and/or a hollow sound). In fact, callers couldn't tell that I was on a cell phone. This thing gives better call quality than the cell phone itself. Way above my expectations.It pairs very quickly. You turn on bluetooth on your phone, then turn on the headset, and once it has been paired (holding the call button for about 5 seconds), and once it is kept in your phone's memory, all you do is turn on the bluetooth and get in range and it automatically pairs as soon as it is in range.The blue LED is easily and permanently turned off by turning off the device, and holding the power button and the volume up button. After the device is paired, the LED doesn't turn on for any reason. This is nice to keep things more low profile.The wind protection is a good thing to have, and works well up to a moderate breeze. Of all the headsets I have come across, this is the best I have experienced. I don't have to have the phone on the same side of my body as the ear that it is on, it doesn't get crackly, and it never drops out. The buttons are easy to operate and are sturdy. Despite the occasional review about the volume button being slightly loose, I have not experienced this. It's firmly in place. An extremely minute amount of play is to be expected from ANY button, and this one is minimal.A great headset that gives great results. Perfect in every way.

  Strengths: great sound clarity and quality. Battery lasts forever, never has run out.

  Weaknesses: A little big. Volume controls a little hard to use.

  Overall Evaluation: This is the best headset I have used. With my Sprint Samsung phone is was incredible. It had great sound clarity and great noise canceling abilities. I have a deep voice that most cell phones have a hard time picking up and this worked perfectly. I now have a Cingular (ATT) 3125 PDA flip phone and it picks up too much background noise, but with everyone else's phone it works great.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Fits in the ear well; good noise filtering; folds nicely into a flat profile; nice battery life; great for its price range

  Weaknesses: Power/Mute switch can be difficult to press sometimes...

  Overall Evaluation: After reading several reviews, I decided to give this headset a try. It did not disappoint! Most people were able to hear me just fine--even with some background noise. It is still vulnerable to a decent breeze, but that's an issue with practically all bluetooth headsets. It's able to fold nicely into a profile that matches the headset's thickness. It even fits nicely into a pouch I bought for the headset so I can easily keep it in my pocket. Perhaps the most annoying caveat is the small Power/Mute button. At times, it can be quite hard to press. Overall, while it's no Aliph Jawbone, I would recommend this headset to anyone who doesn't want to spend or risk losing a near-$100 bluetooth headset.

  Duration of ownership:30 Days

  Strengths: Good, stable connection with Razr series phones. Easy setup.Good enough battery life

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: There are few things in the package, like chargers, a couple of earplugs/caps, etc. so you can easily adjust your device to your ears. It works at the distance of about 30 feet. Occasionally, it drops calls; usually when charge is low or you exceed about 30 feet distance from your phone. Reception is very clear comparing to other similar devices (like Motorola H500). Overall - good item.

  Duration of ownership:2 Days

  Strengths: lightweight, easy to pair, noise reduction, long battery time

  Weaknesses: connection with charger, blue led (you can turn off)

  Overall Evaluation: I loved this bluetooth. I had to get used to the ear bud (I was using a jabra goes into ear canal).Once I did I forgot I had it on. It was easy to pair with my Motorola V557. I never had any dropped calls. I always drive with my windows down (70mph).No one could hear the wind noise. Conversations were clear on both sides. The only drawback/ the connection where the charger plugs into the plantronics, broke off in the jack. Be careful when plugging and unplugging the charger. Mine is now inoperable. I will purchase another Voyager 510. Maybe not with the same merchant.
