Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This Thanksgiving and Black Friday, instead of standing in the line for the deals, I spent the time online looking for a Bluetooth headset. For some reason, I ended up buying 4 headsets on a leading auction site. Apart from this one, I got a Motorola H3 and two Samsung WEP200. Of all the three models, this one turned out to be the best engineered product.
I'm someone who puts more emphasis on the functionality than the styling or looks. My take on the form: Apart from the the hook that goes around the ear, the part that you put in the ear is designed with a slight bent/curve. This way, the headset 'hugs' your ear in two places - around the ear and inside the ear. This is why the headset stays put and doesn't wobble or move or fall down, unless you intentionally remove it. It doesn't hurt a bit to have it on, even for a prolonged period of time.
Now the functional part: This headset holds charge for atleast two days of continuous use. I haven't tested beyond that. Linking with the phone is truly a breeze. If you have this headset 'authorized' or 'trusted' by your phone, it takes only one click of the button to reconnect. A double click while linked will redial the last called number.
When the phone is out of range of the headset, it will obviously disconnect; but it reconnects automatically when the phone is within the range again without you having to do that.
When I'm wearing this in the stores or drive around, it alerts you with a beep tone if the network isn't available and alerts you again when the network becomes available. I find this to be very helpful and interesting, as it gives you an idea of the coverage of your provider.
None of the people I spoke to, had any problems hearing me or had static, echo etc.
My phone doesn't support voice dialing, so I couldn't test that feature.
Plantronics is a company that I've come to love over the years. This product just reinforces that trust. I would gladly recommend this headset whether it is your first Bluetooth device or it is your fifth one.
