Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Fusing cutting-edge technology with a sleek, ultra-light and discreet design, the Plantronics Discovery 665A Bluetooth headset is a great choice for road warriors who need reliable access to communication in the car. It includes a vehicle power charger with call indicator light helps ensure it's always ready when you need it. Ultra-lightweight at just 9 grams (0.3 ounces), it can be worn in either ear and it comes with three gel ear pieces and an optional ear stabilizer for an optimal fit.
The Discovery 665 utilizes Plantronics' AudioIQ digital signal processing (DSP) technology for automatic noise control. For incoming calls, AudioIQ automatically adapts to background noise levels--from a quiet taxi to a noisy city street--and intelligently improves the receive quality, clarity and volume level. For outgoing calls, AudioIQ reduces background noise for listeners up to 7-8 decibels, or by approximately 50 percent. It also minimizes interference from artifacts such as speech distortions to maintain exceptionally clear voice intelligibility.

You can also easily recharge the headset from your laptop computer with the mini USB adapter (included).
Lightweight and sleek, the Discovery 665 provides stylish long-wearing comfort. With innovative QuickPair technology, the Discovery 665 quickly and easily pairs with your cell phone or other Bluetooth device. (If you do not pair it within 10 minutes, it will turn off and re-pair when turned back on.)

Great product. I have no problem hearing anyone and they can hear me just fine. Love that I can use it without needing the ear hook due to when I wear sunglasses it doesn't hurt to have this on at the same time. The button to turn on and off is a little hard to push especially if the unit is in my ear and I want to end a call, I have to grab the whole thing and push the button to end a call but other than that it is a great earpiece.

This is not about the seller, but about a design issue that Plantronics has yet to address through this model (665). I purchased the 665 after my Plantronics 520 stopped recharging (I had it for about 9 months). The issue for the 520 was that the snap connector used in the recharger design (like a snap button on a shirt) sometimes stayed connected and sometimes didn't according to the recharging indicator light--just before I replaced this unit, it connected for only seconds before the recharging indicator light turned off. I bought the 665 because I thought Plantronics had replaced this connector with a mini-USB, but unfortunately that was only partly true. The recharging plastic module (like a little plastic sleeve) that I could plug the 665 into used a mini-USB connector which maintained a snug, good connection. However, the plastic module used the same faulty snap adapter on its bottom as my previous 520 headset for connecting to the recharging cord which plugged into the power source. As a result, I had the same problem that I had with the 520--it didn't stay connected according to the recharging indicator light. This second time around, the 665 wouldn't fully charge from the time I received it!! The light would indicate it was connected for a few seconds and then would disconnect even though the snap connector was firmly snapped together. In researching this problem, it seems that I am not alone in having this problem. there appeared to be no easy fix, so I returned it.
MESSAGE TO PLANTRONICS: Please give up on the snap type connector that you are using for recharging--IT IS SIMPLY AN EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN WHICH DOESN'T WORK WELL AT ALL!!!!
Other feedback: Very comfortable, fits ear well, and good sound quality in and out. I would have kept the unit and been pretty happy had I been able to get a charge into it! With a working recharger connector, I would have rated this a 4 with no difficulty.
Hopefully sometime in the near future, Plantronics will wise up and use a recharging adapter design that will maintain a secure connection. Until that happens, I will not be purchasing any more of their bluetooth headsets!

The good:
- battery life is decent
- features like redial, mute, voice command work well
- volume range is perfect
- The gel earpieces are comfortable
- Excellent range. My phone was upstairs, and I was downstairs and I could continue my call just fine.
- comes with both a car and usb charger.
- again: usb charger
The bad:
- 5 months after I bought it, I started hearing crackling noise on all calls. I called plantronics, and they said they will replace it, but what happens after the warranty expires?
- The gel earpiece keeps coming off and falling on the floor. I was sick of having to look for it and retracing my steps every time I wanted to use so I eventually glued it on.
- That flashing LED must be the worst design decision ever. At night, it lights up the whole room, so I have to turn it off when I go to sleep. It's also very distracting for people around you if you have it in your ear and for you if it's in front of you on the table for example.
I would not buy it again or recommend buying this headset.
