4.0 out of 5 stars Best Bluetooth in-ear headset I've had, December 14, 2006

This review is from: Plantronics Discovery 655 DSP Ultimate Bluetooth Headset with DSP [Retail Packaging] (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Summary: I've had the Discovery 655 for two weeks now and I'm very happy with its audio, microphone, and wearability, particularly relative to the the Nextlink BlueSpoon product (now badged as a Radio Shack VoiceStar product), which is the other "in-ear" bluetooth I've had. The in-ear models are preferable to me because I wear glasses. I recommend the 655 to anyone, with only significant drawbacks in battery life and unnecessary complexity in recharging. Detail follows...

Wearability: (4/5) It stayed in my ear securely walking through the airport, getting into and out of the car, etc. -- all without the optional ear loop. Comfortable enough and light enough that I often forget it is in my ear. The mid-size ear bud worked for me. The BlueSpoon product is slightly better and more secure, but the 655 works fine. Great for people with glasses.

Audio quality: (5/5) Both the incoming and outgoing audio quality are far superior to Nextlink/VoiceStar. The... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Disappointing, November 25, 2006

I've tried a bunch of Bluetooth headsets, mostly about a year or so back when I first got a Bluetooth phone. Went through the Moto HS-820, which had horrible battery life, then the Logitech Mobile Freedom (which was pretty good! but w/o DSP allowed too much noise through), Logitech Mobile Traveller (which I got for free from Logitech because an in-warranty headset broke -- this thing felt like it was making my ear bleed it was so uncomfortable), and finally the Gennum nxZen Plus. The nxZen is a sweetheart, a lovely headset that I had no complaints against.

But, well, I started a new job and could expense a headset, and I liked the idea of being able to charge my headset using a Nokia adapter (which you can get separately with the 655, and comes with the 645). So I got the 655.

Ugh.

Problems with it:

1. It occasionally makes a three-tone sound that is completely undocumented in the book. I *think* it means the phone is re-establishing... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Bluetooth headsets still not good enough., December 11, 2006

I bought this for around $70 here on amazon after reading the reviews on cnet, etc. It was their highest-rated bluetooth headset. It works, but it could be much much better.

First, I think technology still has a long way to go with regards to bluetooth/wireless headsets. Sound quality on this thing, while loud enough, made everyone sound like they were talking through several layers of tshirts. Everyone I've spoken to on this says they can tell I'm "on something" but that I sound "fine." Fine isn't good enough for me.

Let's talk design: It absolutely excels in the "Cool" department - it looks slick and isn't some chubby ear thing. But, with that cool looking factor comes a lose and ill-fitting earpiece. Yes, it comes with 3 replacable earpieces, but none fit me quite right. I would like to offer this suggestion to all who own/consider owning this: When you are trying to insert this into your ear, take your hand opposite the side of the ear you are putting... Read more
