Pros: great sound, easy to keep charged in the car, lightweight and comfortable
Cons: Not the latest model, turn-off tones a little on the quiet side

I'm kind of a Plantronics junkie. After throwing money away on some junky bluetooth devices, including what should have been a decent item from Motorola, I've purchased only Plantronics devices in the last two years. I've lost a couple while traveling, so I have purchased five in all. Plantronics is top notch stuff, with excellent sound quality in every bluetooth device I have ever purchased from them. So it comes down to features, convenience (size, charging time) and comfort. My two favorite Plantronics are this 655 and my 925. I love the 925 because it pairs with two different phones at the same time and it looks damn cool. It comes with a nice little charging case, but is a bit bulky.

The 655 here is always in my car, sitting in one of the two cigarette lighter plugs, just waiting for me to call it into service. It connects very quickly with my Blackberry Storm and gives me reasonable range. (Forget about a 10 meter range on blue tooth devices... that only works when you DON'T want devices to interfere with pairing with another device!) I never have callers ask me if I'm on a headset when I'm using Plantronics devices, and the 655 is very comfortable. My unit came with an auto charger base, so it is always charged up. Plantronics is clever enough to provide multiple charging capabilities, so it can plugged into a wall adapter, and it also works with the base charger of older Plantronics models which come with adpaters for tons of cell phone chargers or even a simple AA battery.

My only complaint, and I really have to stretch this one, is that in turning it off, there are two soft tones that tell me I have completely powered it off. They're pretty faint, because while driving, I have to really listen for them to know that I've completed the turn off process.

The 655 was comfortable, but a little loose even with largest ear piece. The ear loop made it unbearable minutes after putting it on. Sound quality on outbound call was very good. Inbound calls at times were a bit noisey. If I hadn't just purchaced a 975 I would have went with a 655 again.
