Disappointed June 15, 2008
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.

You get what you pay for... November 27, 2008
By SMN
Short & sweet. I bought this because it was a good deal and the reviews were decent. The headsets I owned before this were... The Jawbone (Original) which had great audio and battery, but was uncomfortable and unpocketable. Then, the blueant Z9 serviceable comfort, bad sound and lost, due to the unstable built in clip. Moving on to the next victim.

In it's defense, this headset is the most comfortable I've ever owned. Bad news? The battery life is unforgivably short. The audio is mediocre. If you're in a quiet place, it's fine. Add ambient noise and the party is over. Also, should you lose the cleverly designed charging case, there is no longer a way to charge it. Had I known this before, it would have been a pass.

Spend a few extra bucks.
This one's a pass.

Decent w/ minor problem December 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this sleek headset for my Sony Ericcson w580 cell phone (AT&T). After using it for a while, I found the following pros and cons.

Pro:
1) easy to hold it in ear. The gel is soft and comfortable.
2) the standby time is fine and charging time is acceptable.
3) the voice quality is good, even though not crystal clear.
4) voice control is compatible with my cell.

Con:
1) automatically disconnect with my cell. This pains me. But you can get it paired by pressing the power button of the headset for a few seconds.
2) noise canceling is not so good and there's some background noise. It sounds like you're talking to the listener at a distance in a large empty room.
3) the signal is not constantly good. When talking w/ my friends over the phone, sometimes he/she couldn't hear me easily or completely. This happened to my side as well. Well, I have to say this may not be a problem w/ the headset always since the signal of ATT in my area is not that good, either.

Painful Static-Returning it!
I was not happy with this product. There is just way too much static. The only thing I liked was the ear bud, which fits my ear just fine because I have small ears. Read more

Not worth for the quality
