2.0 out of 5 stars The good and the bad., July 8, 2008

I got the new Blackberry Curve and my old Plantronics 510 was working fine until it crashed. So I thought I would try a different headset. The HS 655 looked more compact and the description seemed OK. I like it and I don't. The connection time is faster for calls and it is certainly smaller and lighter.

It does seem to fit comfortably in the ear and can be worn for exteneded periods of time with little to no discomfort. The choice of three different ear pieces is also nice. It is nice that the headset and handset both have the USB ports for charging.

The clarity for calls is slightly better but not always. The connecting button on the headset and volume controls are easy to use.

Bad news: While in the car or outside and background noise or wind makes it very difficult to hear on both ends of the call. The volume is not as good as the Plantronic which is probably the most disappointing.

The ear hook and ear piece some off quite easily if put in a pocket or left laying around. Maybe that is just me though.

All in all, I would buy the Plantronic again, but not this one.

I purchased the Blackberry headset after my Jawbone kept falling off my ear. The fit is excellent, and you can wear this for hours and forget it is there. The sound quality is average, but just as good as most other headsets I have tried. (The Jawbone is in a league of its own on sound quality.) The shirt clip is an excellent idea, but the ear buds (and ear loop) fall off easily, which can ruin your day. My problem is the battery life: I have my headset on for 8 hours/day, and use it for business. The battery rarely last the full day, and I fully charge it every night. This is a great headset for an occasional cell phone talker, but not for all-day use.
