Review:
I have used about a dozen different Bluetooth headsets and this one is now my favorite. It's not perfect but it is the closest to perfect I've used. I've always been torn between the Moto and Plantronics brand headsets. The reason is the Moto headsets turn on instantly when you open the boom. They are also very comfortable. The problem is that the boom hinge breaks over time or if you put the headset in your pocket. Also, the battery life is okay but not great. Last, while the early Moto headsets had great voice quality, the newer ones are muffled sounding.

The Plantronics headsets get louder then other brands and they last. I
have 4 different models and I've never had one of them break. They are
rugged! Some aren't very comfortable though. Their battery lasts a
very long time so I don't have to carry another charger when I travel
for a day or two, which is good since Plantronics uses a proprietary
charger. I always wondered why they don't use a standard mini or micro
USB jack like everyone else. While I always liked Plantronics best,
there was lots of room for improvement.
