Great fit, Great Sound, Mediocre Battery, Disconnects
I've been using this headset for about two weeks with a Blackberry 8700C. The headset has a very comfortable fit and the volume is nice and loud. The downside is that the battery life seems a bit sub-standard. I have been caught several times using it and running out of batteries. I also have some random disconnects with my Blackberry. Tough to say whether these disconnects are phone or headset related. I think this is a great value for the money though and prefer it over the Motorola's and Jabra's (better fit, louder sound). There is some difficulty pressing the buttons on this headset too - nothing that I could not work around though.
Best Yet
I don't usually write reviews, but when I started looking and trying these headsets the reviews on amazon came in real handy, so I'll add my 2 cents and give a little back to the community. I tried almost every model from the local electronics store and burned a bunch of gas going back and forth. After 2 models of motorola, 2 of nokia and 1 of jabra I found they all had the same problem. At he highest volumes they all had really bad sound quality, and if you were in the car or a noisy enviroment the person on the other end was nearly inaudible. I don't understand how major manufacturers can miss the one thing you absolutely must have. I mean if you can't hear the person on the other end whats the point??? I was about to give up on bluetooth and go back to a wired set but I read a few reviews on amazon and went for this one. I finally struck gold. The voyager 510 is LOUD! I can only use it at half volume. In the car or noisy areas you can turn it up a bit more and hear everything. Sound quality on the other end is great too, people hear me loud and clear. You may want to use the foam sock to thats included to shield the mic from noise if it's windy though. Overall range is great I get about 30 feet and with walls it's less but just as good as the competition. It's super comfortable and has 3 different sizes of ear buds to fit different ears. Battery life is excellent. It's cheaper than all the rest too! I'm really happy with it.
People hear me better thru the headset than the cell phone
After reading reviews of various bluetooth products on Amazon.com, I settled on this Plantronics headset, and I have been very happy with it. The device does everything I expected it to do. It fits well, and I can wear it for several hours before it starts to bother my ear, and then I just move the parts and switch ears. In my experience, it has great battery life. I can usually get 6-8 hours of talk time out of it when it's been fully charged. I have been told by numerous people that they can actually hear me much better (almost no problems at all) when I am using the headset. (I have a lot of static and dead air when using my cingular,sony erricsson by itself in my home.) The only complaint other people have about it is the headset's sensitivity to outside noise, especially wind noise when outside. I have not yet set up voice command, so I can't comment on that aspect. Overall, I am very impressed with this product and highly recommend it.
