I bought this for my wife along with my Plantronics 520, although mine isn't pink. She absolutely loves it and the sound quality is awesome, crisp and clear. The only drawback is when I have my headset on, I usually have to turn the volume down a couple of notches. The overal background noise is not bad at all. It does a great job of filtering it out or dampening it. If she is on the computer playing games or in the car with he radio on, she has to turn the volume down or off, but that is to be expected. It fits great in the ear and does try to fall off when I look down or bend over. And it doesn't 'bounce around' when I am walking like other brands do. I don't have discomfort wearing it and it doesn't get in the way of my glasses. I forget I have it on. You can always count on Plantronics for quality and comfort.

This is a pretty piece of equipment and worked great in a stationary setting (i.e. in the house or in the office) but had horrible static during movement (i.e. in the car or walking outside at the park or even in my driveway). The new law passed in California where drivers MUST use an ear piece so it really doesn't do me any good to have a great ear piece in a stationary setting when I need it most while driving. I gave it to a friend in the hopes that it wouldn't be staticy in the places she travels to/from. She has yet to try it out but if not it's going to have to go up on ebay bec I ended up buying the Plantronics Discovery 925 in Cerise Pink (my original choice but at the time the pink was not yet available). I've had absolutely no problems with that unit and it was costly but worth it. As they say- you get what you pay for!

Over the years I've owned several headsets including the Plantronics 510. When I took the Plantronics Explorer 330 for a test drive last week the first two things that stood out immediately was the overall comfort and the superb call quality. Even outside on a windy day, performance was better then I expected.

Pairing up to both my cell phone and PDA was a breeze. Mounted with a flexible silicone ear hook, rotating to either ear takes just seconds. The earpiece has nice comfortable feel to it. So comfortable in fact that on more then one occasion I forgot that I was wearing it.

Outfitted with a multifunction toggle, I easily controlled the volume by sliding the toggle forward or back. Answering, disconnecting, transferring and last number redialing was done with the touch of the button. The only ping on this product is that sometimes the toggle feels a little stiff. The onboard LED flashes an intermittent blue when fully charged and continuously when in use. I get a red flashing signal when my battery is low and a pink flashing to remind me of missed calls.

I like the fact that I can pair it with more than one piece of Bluetooth gear. When I was in a crowded grocery store the clarity of incoming and outgoing calls was outstanding. With my older 510 model I was unable to wear it in that environment because of its tendency to pick up almost every surrounding noise. Callers also noted the improved clarity even when I was outside on a windy day. My battery life on this feather weight model was about 7 hours in talk mode during the week and 2 days on the weekend.

The Plantronics Exployer 330 comes with a charging cradle, instructions and a one year product warranty. The company's website is loaded with useful information and lists working toll free technical support phone numbers.

Overall I am quite pleased with my Plantronics Explorer 330 Headset. The quality and comfort has exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt this model is an economically priced, good piece of Bluetooth gear.

I just got mine yesterday. Everyone told me that they heard me really well and clear and that they didn't even notice I was using a headset. But on my end it does get static now and then. It says you can be 33 feet away from your phone but even when you're about 4 feet away you can hear it getting fuzzy. It fits very easily and it doesn't move a lot because it fits snug in your ear. I didn't receive the car charger. It only takes 2 hours to fully charge so if you charge it every night it shouldn't be a problem when you take it out. Overall, I think it's worth the price and it's really easy to use.

Bought this item and find myself not using it because when I do, the static interferes with my conversation. It holds a charge well, fit is comfortable, and the price was right.

Love the product, easy to set up and use. Fast delivery and exactly as pictured.

Not such a bad thing that I thought I lost my first one and subsequently purchased a second one. They're stylish and cute and work well, but don't seem to give you much talking time, so having a second one around to switch to when the other is charging is kinda nice.

i love this bluetooth! it fits in my ear just right and the only down i have about it is sometimes its a little staticy but thats ok. i use it just about everyday!

This fits in the ear great! I lost 2 that didn't have the ear wrap so this is a great improvement.The sound is good too. Love it!

This is only the second bluetooth I have ever owned. My first one was a Plantronics as well, and I loved that one, and that is why I decided to get this one. It fits great on my ear. Sometimes my ear will get a little sore after a while, but that's expected. As for the sound quality, it's pretty decent. It is not amazing, but it's decent. You can hear the other person on the line great, and the volume is great! Usually I have to turn it down some because it can get pretty loud. Now sometimes the sound quality for the person listening to you isn't that great. You really have to stay within a close range to your cell phone or you will start to get a lot of static on the bluetooth.
But otherwise it is a great value for what you pay, the pink color is very pretty, and it gets the job done. It's really helpful for me when I am at my computer typing or driving. It's great to have the hands free then. I would recommend this product.
