Plantronics Discovery 650E Bluetooth Headset (Black, Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using Plantronics Voyager 510 for a while and very happy with that product. It was very light and comfortable and I hardly noticed it on my ear. unfortunately, I machine washed this unit along with my cloths (unknowingly :-) ) and obviously, it couldn't sustain that.
I was searching for another headset. I was looking for clear voice, noise reduction and capability to pair with multiple devices as I use two phones. I noticed Discovery 650 for its multi-point technology and the sleek design. However, I must say that I'm very disappointed and I will never recommend this to anyone.
Given below are the problems I noticed...
- Buttons are very hard. This is really a nuisance when you have to transfer call from headset to phone and reverse. You will really have to press and hold the headset against your ear canal and its very painful.
- Headset behaves erratically at times. It doesn't switch off/on or get connected to the phone.
- Voice quality is not good. No noise canceling.. It even gives static at times.
- The way ear buds are fitted to the headset is not good. It keeps coming off. There is a third component that keeps the headset fixed to the ear. But, even that keeps coming off.
- You need to charge this unit frequently. I do this alternate days where as I used to charge Voyager 150 once in a week.
