The best bluetooth headset for your money; but a bit overrated

Having been a fan of the Motorola H700 series; I decided to take a stab at this new and highly rated headset.

Here are my findings:

Pros:
1. Long battery life
2. Easy sync with cell
3. Wind-reducing material to cover microphone.. essential
4. Fits on both left and right ears equally well
5. Various sized earpiece inserts for a custom fit
6. Microphone sits AWAY from your cheek.. thus preventing a muffled voice (this was an issue with the Motorla H700)

Cons:
1. Large size. This becomes a problem for us EYEGLASS folks. The back portion of the headset is so large that it makes it difficult to maintain a proper fitting (especially if you wear thicker plastic glasses)
2. Power button is inconveniently located. IOW, it is best you turn on the headset first AND THEN put the unit on your ear. Maybe this is being picky.. but heck.. the Motorola H700 turned on when I flipped open the microphone boom.
3. Unique power adapter. I wish they could just use a USB adapter.. something more universal.

My issues with the H700 were that it was a bit too floppy. Nothing to stabilize the unit as there is for the Plantronics model (earpiece adapters that fit in your ear help to stabilize the unit on your head/ear). Also the muffled voice issue. The earpiece mic sat right on your cheek... not good. I loved the fact that this model was so small and that it turn on via flipping the mic boom. However, its smallness was the cause for the mic's demise--- it was thoroughly cleaned in the wash by accident :-/

In a nutshell. If you are in the market for a bluetooth headset, the Plantronics Voyager 510 the model to purchase.

Great with Blackberry Pearl

My first Bluetooth headset was a Motorola H700. It was very hard to hear, and callers complained they couldn't hear me(I use it in my business so I use it all day). Also had poor reception and no distance. The Plantronics 510 has solved all my issues. Clear, loud, no complaints from callers, and I can walk away from the phone. No bad reception, no issues. Note that the ear bud actually goes in your ear, vs the Motorola that goes over your ear. This reduces noise problems immensly, but after 4-6 hrs your ear might itch!

California Law, no handhelds allowed!

As a California Resident I needed a blue tooth set up, after checking out online as well as other reviews I chose this product because of the style and quality of sound. I have used the other style, like the rectangular shape it felt like it was falling off or loose. This one is perfect. I would totally recommend this piece. It is nice because you can fold up the mouth part while not in use and keep it on your ear with less view to public... I don't like to look like I am so important that I need a phone on my ear constantly. With the laws in place now, I suggest you get this one.

had to return it

Unfortunately I received a defective unit - it wouldn't light up when I plugged it in to charge. After calling Plantronics I returned it to Amazon for a refund. I decided to get the 520 model instead, because it seems less bulky behind the ear. I have small ears and the 510 did not fit very securely.

I have three different headsets. This one is my favorite!

Yes, I have three headsets. I have two for the car, and one for use in the house. I chose to put the best one, this one, in the car along with a second cheap one, as a backup. I'm terrible at remembering to charge these guys up! And I'm too cheap to purchase a car charger...

This is really a great headset. I've never had a problem with people not being able to hear me and it's very comfortable to wear. The battery lasts a long time, which is one reason I just forget to charge it. Once the battery dies, I use my backup headset until I charge up my favorite!

The other headsets are cheapy models I've purchase on amazon when they were a Goldbox deal, and those are also good. They were around $10 and work fine. They just are not as comfortable to wear and the sound quality is not as sharp, both for me and for who I am speaking with. If I wear the cheapy ones for more than 15 minutes, my ear will start to ache a little. I can wear this one all day if I wanted to and it wouldn't bother me at all.

I would purchase this one again FOR SURE. I've had mine for about 18 months and I'm sure at some point I will trash it and need another. I'm really happy with this headset.
