4.0 out of 5 stars Great headset but all the fancy extras are through Vocalyst. There are some issues with that., September 24, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I have a lot to say, so those of you that want the short version here it is. Mind you this is my first pass over a few days of usage.

SUMMARY:
PROS:
1. Extremely comfortable secure headset
2. Quick and simple pairing
3. Great sound quality (my 4th headset so I know the difference)
4. Nice voice prompts for pairing, turning on, connecting, accepting calls and battery life.

CONS:
1. Since Vocalyst is a phone call it burns minutes.
2. Voice pairing instructions were wrong, but if you have done this before, it is simple enough.
3. Vocalyst service seems convoluted (you have to call them to do anything) and at this time nothing seems really worth it.
4. Sending an email via Vocalyst sends a voice email. I wanted text.
5. Sending Texts are a Pro level feature that costs extra bucks ($35-$59/year). I don't know if they are voice texts or text ones. Assume Voice.
5. Could not find the "MyHeadset" app in... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Sleek, but needs work, September 23, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
It has a nice, slim look. The earpiece stays in my ear without the hook, but YMMV.

Power button is easy to access. Pairing is guided by voice prompts.

The Volume button - there's only one - is a little hard to press, though. And it cycles. If you're at the lowest volume and you press the "lower volume" button, it cycles back to the loudest. And vice-versa. So if you want a lower volume, you'll have to pass through the higher ones first. Annoying.

Also, the lowest volume setting is still pretty loud - a little too loud for me.

You're supposed to be able to answer or ignore calls by saying "answer" or "ignore." However, it had trouble recognizing my command. Initially I had to speak up quite loudly for it to finally obey. But it worked OK a couple of days later. It varies with your surrounding noise.

The command button is on the stiff side - pressing it while on your ear may be uncomfortable. Better to use your fingernail rather... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I have a few other Plantronics headsets, which is probably why this one showed up for review. I use a Voyager Pro+ and a wireless telephone headset for long teleconferences. Both of those have outstanding audio quality and comfort. This headset is incredibly small and compact compared to my other ones, is easy to wear for a few hours, and is really a better product if you are in a quiet environment like your house or office.
This is not the thing to use in the car with the top down or walking outside if there is a breeze. You also want to avoid this product if there is a lot of background noise because the mic really is a long way from your mouth. .

I called a few people to ask about the sound quality and while all agreed that I sounded a bit like I was at the bottom of a well, the sound quality wasn't noticeably bad, which is probably the best that can be expected from a little gizmo like this.

Unpacking and set-up were a breeze. There are two little... Read more
