5.0 out of 5 stars Great Headset, May 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Plantronics 38885-01 Voyager PRO UC B230 (Standard) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I have owned this headset for a few months now. My primary purpose is to listen to podcasts and audiobooks on the iPhone (A2DP), but I also use it for conversations.

Overall, I find it is not nearly as bulky as I thought it would be. And the over-the-ear/in-the-ear style is pretty comfortable.

The sound quality is great, although I wish it were just a bit louder for podcasts. The conversation quality is good, with people being able to hear me even in loud, crowded locations; and me able to hear them well also. The wind screening feature works, but not as well as I would like.

The battery life is as advertised, about six hours of active listening; the charging speed is fine but slower than the iPhone 3GS.

The Bluetooth works well paired with the iPhone, iPad, and other devices; it can be paired with multiple devices at once, which generally works well, although I sometimes have trouble getting the iPhone to play through it after using the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best headset for heavy use, August 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Plantronics 38885-01 Voyager PRO UC B230 (Standard) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I recently took a job that requires me to be on conference calls about 4-6 hours a day. I wanted a headset that could work with my computer, BlackBerry and android phone, and that was comfortable enough to wear all day. This headset fills the need perfectly. It was very easy to set up and pair with all my devices, and the various earpieces made it easy to find a snug fit. I like that as soon as you turn it on it tells you how much battery is left ("6 hours talk time remaining") and if you're on mute, it reminds you of that fact every once in a while. I regularly wear this headset all day long, at home and in the car and it's very comfortable and has good range if I want to start a load of laundry in the basement while the headset is connected to my computer on the first floor. :)

I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this to a friend.

This review is from: Plantronics 38885-01 Voyager PRO UC B230 (Standard) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I lost my Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset by Plantronics and decided to replace it with the much acclaimed Plantronics 38885-01 Voyager PRO UC B230 (Standard).

Before the pro I had a Motorola 850 which you could open or close the tiny microphone boom and that would disconnect the Bluetooth from the phone. Convenient!! The basic Voyager PRO would not do that; you had to push on a button for a couple seconds and turn it off or you could disconnect it using an icon on the phone, otherwise it would stay connected to your phone. This upgraded version sounded like the answer. After all, it knows when it's on your ear and when it's not........as it turns out, not exactly.

First the good:

1 The sound quality is very very good; probably the best there is in a Bluetooth phone headset.
2 Although rather large, it is very comfortable.
3 The battery life is all day using it a lot (a lot = several 1 hour conversations per day)... Read more
