2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, June 15, 2008

By	Jaimon Jose - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for..., November 27, 2008

By	SMN "SMN" (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars love it!, September 10, 2007

By	R. Lago (MIAMI, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

bought this for my iphone, works great. just turn it on, hold near the iphone, and plug in the access code. sounds great in the car, and walking around the house, although did notice some static with distance from iphone. very light, looks cool, barely notice it in your ear, works with or without the "ear" wrap attachment. would suggest for iphone users.
