5.0 out of 5 stars HIGH Quality - Low Cost Alternative to Blue Tooth, November 15, 2007

I have a Plantronics Explorer 510 Blue Tooth headset, and I really like it. (See my review). But I don't always remember to keep it charged, so I run out of battery before I run out of "talkery!"

I was chatting online with a Plantronics customer support specialist who suggested that rather than buying a car charger, why not buy a wired set as a backup? GREAT idea!

The Plantronics MX256-X1* is a SUPERB piece - EXCELLENT sound quality on both ends of the call, with ONE TOUCH Answer/End call if your phone is so-equipped (e.g. Sprint's Voice Command) It WEIGHS LESS than its wireless counterparts, and is VERY comfortable to wear for extended periods: This unit features a SOFT silicone "clip" that attaches to the backside of your ear, not over the top. This means that it won't interfere with your glasses like the vast majority of Blue Tooth devices!

* NOTE: It is the X1 designation on ALL Plantronics wired sets that denotes compatibility with one-touch-equipped/voice command-type phones. IF your phone has this capability, make sure you look for a Plantronics unit with the x1 designation.

Excellent sound quality. Noise cancellation really works. The button on the headset string lets you automatically place a call and end the call. Very nice. Works much better and more reliably than ANY BlueTooth set I've tried - and I've tried almost all of them.

I speak approx. 5000 minutes a month on the cell phone. For one reason or another the bluetooths have not been conistent enough for me. They always seem to falter at critical times and I have tried at least a dozen of them.
After finally going with the wired ones and I have tried literally 25 to 30 of these wired headsets and the average cost of them was about $20 - $22. I use them mostly when I am driving, but they always seem wanting in one way or another. There never seems to be enough volume on them. Finally this one makes it. It works great and the volume level is more than adequate - Horray!
If you are looking for a reliable excellent headset and not want to burn your ear with just using the phone earpiece, this is the one to get. I am actually ordering another one today!
