1.0 out of 5 stars Maximum volume not loud enough, February 13, 2011

The good: comfortable fit, easy to switch on and off while wearing the earpiece. The bad: it only has four volume settings, and the highest possible setting isn't nearly loud enough. The only time I can comfortably hear the party I'm speaking with is if there is very little background noise and I push the earpiece into my ear as far as possible. When driving, I have to keep the heater off because the sound of the blower is plenty loud enough to render conversation impossible. Driving on city streets is bad enough, but getting up to highway speeds on an interstate expressway impinges to the point of me having to end the conversation.

For the record, I do not have a hearing problem and my car is not louder than would be considered normal. This earpiece simply isn't loud enough by a long shot. Am returning it today for another model or make.

I like the sound coming out and the noise canceling offered by this bluetooth headset. However, the way it fits in the ear is almost painful at times. I wish they had the earbud made of something mushier: the strong material it's made up doesn't quite fit the ear comfortably.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amplifies background noise., February 4, 2011

The Plantronics Explorer 395 is the noisiest headset I ever used. It sounds good to the user and is okay if used in a very quiet environment, but it amplifies every little background noise. I didn't know that until people I called asked what that loud noise or static was when there was only minor noise in the background, so I stopped using it. I have to wonder if the reviewers who like the advertised noise cancelling feature only use it in noise-free areas or only call polite people who don't tell them how annoying it sounds... or maybe I got a defective headset.
