3.0 out of 5 stars
Great sound, horrible comfort, January 19, 2005
This review is from: Plantronics M3500 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I was extremely impressed with the sound quality of this product. It works great, makes it easy for people to hear me, and me to hear others. Sadly, the headset was just extremely uncomfortable. I've used the SE HBH-30 and Jabra 250, both of which feel great. this one was painful after wearing it for about 10 min.

Works great!, January 17, 2005
This review is from: Plantronics M3500 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I use this headset with my Nokia 3660 cellphone all the time. The sound is clear. The earloop is comfortable. I can set my cellphone on my desk and walk all around my apartment and I'm still able to talk. The range is about 20 feet or so with line of site. Just stay away from running microwaves!
Since this device supports the headset and the handsfree bluetooth profile, it will also work on a PC. I've used it on TeamSpeak to talk to people while playing games online. With a clear line of site, I'm able to get about 200 feet away from my PC and still have a signal.
Cons:
Just a few annoyances with my unit:
* Talk time is only about 1.5 hours with my unit. Might just be the condition of the battery on my particular unit though. I bought new batteries recently (only $6 each) and I now get about 3 hours talk time.
* It takes a few seconds to power up and sync. So if want to receive incoming calls with it you better have it powered up and on your ear already.
* Once the device is connected to the phone it will only ring to the headset. So if it's not on your ear you won't hear it ring.
Overall it's a great product.

Good battery life, bad ear piece, May 4, 2006
This review is from: Plantronics M3500 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Having such long standby and talk times are nice, but it doesn't make up for the low comfort. Thank goodness it comes with two ear pieces as one broke when I tried to put it on the device. Perhaps the company knew this and put two in for that very reason. The device is so large that the poorly designed ear piece does not hold it to your ear well.
