Find the most complete assessment of this earpiece here
You all should know the straight scoop on Bluetooth earpieces, something many depend on for hours every day. I almost never give reviews, but this is important stuff, so here it is:
Having used over 100 Bluetooth devices for the last 20 years, 12 Plantronics earpieces, using the text to speech function every day, sometimes in noisy environments, needing to stay paired, I give 9 out of 10 stars to Plantronics.
Plantronics provides
• The best voice recognition accuracy
• Almost nonexistent background noise,
even when there’s loud construction noise
• Remains connected better than any other brand
• Easy to keep charged with the dock
• Above average battery use per charge
• Comfortable sitting on my ear
• If misplaced, the application provided will cause the earpiece to emit a tone when you call it
• Stays connected while walking throughout my home. When it does disconnect, I know where that will happen
• The volume in my ear is nearly always sufficient, but above average regarding them hearing me
• Voice quality in both directions is superior
• I can switch between my car stereo and my earpiece by tapping the rear button, which comes in handy
• The replaceable silicone earpieces in three sizes are comfortable
• I’ve never had a button short out or malfunction, nor are they prone to fall apart
There are a few issues that need improvement:
• The battery life is comparatively average, which is usually the first thing to go. I’m about to order a bunch of replacement batteries, so if they don’t give me a hassle soldering them in, that issue could be minimized.
• In terms of durability, the first thing that breaks is the curved portion at the top of the earpiece. They should look into providing another material that doesn’t wear out so easily. Easy fix – be aware of how you pull it off your ear, minimizing the flex of the earpiece.
• There’s a thin covering of rubber on the exterior of the device that has a tendency to break down and peel.
• The thin piece of metal that is on the boom arm can be bent or pulled off, but seldom an issue, though
Plantronics earpieces are in the higher price category, so I never buy them new. I go to eBay and usually get the 5220 version. They have two different kinds of docs, but the one with the earpieces in it is the one I prefer. It charges either laying down or standing up. The dock identifies the battery state in three different levels for the earpiece and the dock. It can charge the earpiece without having to be plugged in because it has an onboard battery, able to fully charge three sessions. There are firmware updates available from time to time. This allows them to fix issues that most companies can’t. Their customer service department provides reps here in the US who are knowledgeable about their products. If you haven’t used one yet, I am confident you’ll find Plantronics products to be at the top of the food chain, even compared to far more expensive Bluetooth earpieces.

It wasn't as pictured.
The picture of the headband shade shows elastic that will hold on to the brim. This one doesn't work that way. It has to wrap around the headband portion, causing it to slip above and not look as the picture shows. I bought multiple headbands to sell to my fellow workers. No one wants to buy this. I spent more money and I got a product that doesn't work as was advertised.

Unfortunate. I expected better.
They slide down just like many others. They feel comfortable walking around, but when I kneel down, it jabs me on the inside of the top left of the support on the right side. I’m assuming they’re all made the same way, so it seems the manufacturer needs to change the way this is made.
