5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek, sexy little headset doesn't sacrifice form or function, July 25, 2008

By	Jennifer Ray "Reviewer for Wild on Books (www... (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The search for the perfect Bluetooth headset is never-ending, it seems. In the last 3 years, I've gone through more brands and models than I care to think about. Now I've tried the Plantronics Discovery 925, and tell you with no hesitation that it is in the top two of those I have used.

The Plantronics Discovery 925 is more an earpiece than a headset, with an earbud that fits inside the ear with surprising comfort, rather than an earloop that hangs over the ear. This means that it is much more comfortable to wear with eyeglasses and/or sunglasses. Indeed it is so comfortable that I sometimes forget I am wearing it.

Pairing the device is a snap, and while my old Jabra headset frequently lost its pairing (weekly at least), the Plantronics Discovery 925 has not yet.

The sound quality is tremendous. Audio is crystal clear from both my side and on the caller's side, if my friends and family are to be believed. LOL

Plantronics touts this headset as having great noise reduction technology, and I will say that it is better in the noise reduction arena than all but one of the headsets I've tried in the past. The only headset I have personally tried that surpasses the Plantronics Discovery 925 in noise reduction is the Jawbone headset.

What I really love about the Discovery 925 is the charging options. This headset comes with both an AC charger cable and a USB charger cable. Not only that, it comes with a compact charging case. You can charge the headset either in the case or directly, using the same cables for each. The beauty of the case is that it charges alongside the headset when you have it plugged in to electrical power. Then when your headset's battery dies, you simply put the headset in the case to recharge on the go - WITHOUT connecting either the case or the headset to electrical current. I've purposely let the headset's charge completely drain and charged it with the case, and found it worked admirably. And to top it all off, the Plantronics Discovery 925 charges fully in just a couple of hours, whether via electrical current or the portable charge case.

Now here is where I prove what a woman I can be. The last quality I want to point out is purely cosmetic - its appearance. This is by far the most attractive headset I've ever seen. It's design almost looks like a cufflink or tie clip. It is sleek, innocuous, and comes in three different colors: black, gold, and pink. Personally, I like the more unobtrusive black model myself, but for those who want a little bit livelier hue, the other options work too. Yeah, I know, the appearance is a pretty frivolous virtue, but as often as we wear these things nowadays, it is nice to find a Bluetooth headset that doesn't have to trade form for function.

For the best in noise reduction, Jawbone's Bluetooth headset is the overall winner, but Plantronics Discovery 925 runs a very close second in this category. In all other categories, I would choose Plantronics as the number one headset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really, this one works!, July 21, 2008

By	Dave Mc. (Sonoma, CA) - See all my reviews

I tried four different bluetooth devices in one month, back to back, and this one was far and away the best. It fits with the simple soft plastic "clip" and it is so lightweight that you will seriously forget that it's there. Incoming quality is good, and there are no annoyingly loud beeps (such as with the Jawbone!) or strange tones that come from it. Most important: PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU. it' s amazing; this is the only bluetooth headset that actually performed it's intended purpose without difficulty. The noise canceling system seems to really work well. The padded case (with a storage battery inside it!) is really great for traveling, and even for carrying in your pocket once you arrive somewhere and don't need it in your ear anymore. A great, complete package. Strongly recommend it.

Other devices I tried: An older Plantronics (655? can't remember), which didn't fit and had a proprietary earbud piece you couldn't replace; the Jawbone, which screems in your ear as goes in and out of range (and I broke the clip off of it in one week); Motorola HV10, which did not really provide any useful audio connection in either direction, and then this one, the 925.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a Bluetooth that works!, September 2, 2008

By	F. Munoz (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm thrilled with my Bluetooth earpiece. While the silicone ear insert took a day or so to get used to, I now love it. It's the first earpiece that I have not had to fuss extensively with fit and NEVER with sound quality!!
