A comfortable, reliable, and easy-to-use headset that is universally compatible with Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, the Plantronics Explorer 360 allows you to go about your daily activities while talking hands-free up to 33 feet away from your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. With a simple-to-use and intuitive one-touch control button for answering calls, rejecting calls, redialing the last number, and more using the Explorer 360 couldn't be any easier. This model of the Explorer 360 comes with a vehicle charging adapter--the perfect accessory for on-the-go communicators.

The Plantronics Explorer 360 Bluetooth headset (see a larger schematic that shows all the controls).

Plug the vehicle charging adapter into your cigarette lighter or 12V accessory socket and charge your headset on the road.

The Explorer 360 is not only easy to use, but it also features an ultra-comfortable, lightweight design. The slim earloop design swivels and can be worn on either ear, and the soft eartip fits comfortably in your ear for hours of hands-free use. The contoured eartip does more than just provide comfort; it's also designed to direct sound into your ear canal for a better overall sound experience.

The built-in lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery offers up to seven hours of continuous talk time, up to eight days of standby on a single charge. And it's easy to know when the battery is ready to be recharged: the headset's indicator light will repeatedly blink red when the battery is low.

Plantronics QuickPair technology makes pairing this headset with Bluetooth-enabled cell phones a snap. The first time you turn on your Explorer 360, it will automatically go into pairing mode for 10 minutes, giving you ample time to pair your cell phone with your headset without having to press multiple buttons. And when it's time to pair your Explorer 360 with a different cell phone, it's a simple process. The headset's indicator light will flash red/blue letting you know that you're in pairing mode.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but lacking basics for the price, December 25, 2008

Overall its easy to setup and use, comfortable and no doubt maintains a clear signal. Many people I talk to state they can hear me excellently even though I am in situations of lots of noise.

However, with the simplistic design, they left out one small feature.. MUTE. That's right, no mute button or means to mute what so ever. For the price (paid 45), a simple feature that has been on phone and mobile devices for a long time is not included.

I bought this on sale, and LOVE them! It is clear; no one knows I'm using it. The noise cancelling is EXCELLENT, by far the best I've had...and I have paid a LOT more then this for some in the past. Also I have a hard time hearing with headsets, but this one is loud enough for me! The only downfall I have for it is it doesn't support voice dialing...bummer, but neither does my current phone :)

4.0 out of 5 stars works well, July 4, 2009

Let me start out with the part that keeps me from giving it a full five stars. The odd angles and swivels makes it a little hard to put in the ear quickly, but maybe that just my ears. I'm not one to wear a "Borg starter kit" in my ear all the time, so it's important that I can get it there quickly while I'm driving. Having said that, it's a really good little headset. It paired quickly and easily with my Palm Centro, which in no mean feat. The controls are simple and easily accessible. The car charger is really nice to have too.
