5.0 out of 5 stars Form and Function - Great engineering and design, December 21, 2006

This review is from: Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This Thanksgiving and Black Friday, instead of standing in the line for the deals, I spent the time online looking for a Bluetooth headset. For some reason, I ended up buying 4 headsets on a leading auction site. Apart from this one, I got a Motorola H3 and two Samsung WEP200. Of all the three models, this one turned out to be the best engineered product.

I'm someone who puts more emphasis on the functionality than the styling or looks. My take on the form: Apart from the the hook that goes around the ear, the part that you put in the ear is designed with a slight bent/curve. This way, the headset 'hugs' your ear in two places - around the ear and inside the ear. This is why the headset stays put and doesn't wobble or move or fall down, unless you intentionally remove it. It doesn't hurt a bit to have it on, even for a prolonged period of time.

Now the functional part: This headset holds charge for atleast two days of continuous use. I haven't tested beyond that... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Plantronics Explorer 330 vs. Plantronics Voyager 510, March 7, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I originally bought this headset for my wife (her first BT headset) because she didn't like the look of my Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset with Multipoint Technology [Retail Packaged]. She found the 330 painfully uncomfortable and decided to sacrifice style for comfort (quite a departure from her typical choices, particularly regarding footwear); thus she is now enjoying my 510 and I'm getting by with the 330. I don't find the 330 uncomfortable for the first few hours, but I never forget it's in my ear like I did with the 510. If you have very small ears, it's probably a bad choice.

Here's a brief comparison between the two with my 5 point ratings:

STYLE & DESIGN
I greatly prefer the 330's single side button that makes it very easy adjust the volume. On the 510, I found the volume and power buttons behind... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great, you get what you pay for, April 23, 2007
This review is from: Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I got this because it was the least expensive, decent looking bluetooth headset available. One really big thing in its favor is that, in comparison to other bluetooth headsets, the 330 is pretty discreet. Okay, I admit, it flashes blue every once and a while and people look at you funny. But it is by far one of the least obnoxious and lowest-impact earpieces in terms of appearance. For me, that is a good thing. You may desire a different, more bling bling look. Another good thing is the price.

However, the price seems to show in the quality of the earphone. The microphone appears to work fine- no complaints from people that I could not hear them clearly. But in my experience, this headset has been very variable in regard to how clearly I can hear the other person. The fidelity seems variable and I can't explain why. At this price, I really would not hesitate to buy it, though. I got it when it cost a little more and I do not regret buying it. I do not doubt that there are... Read more
