    "Nice but gets a big negative for inadequate range"

    by svasica on October 1, 2006

    Pros: Lightweight, comfortable

    Cons: Range, Flimsy Earbuds, expensive

    Summary: I had been using this headset for a couple of days when I discovered that everyone on the receiving end of my calls with the headset said it was difficult to hear me because everyother word would be dropped out. I tried the headset on two different phones with different service providers and it was the same story so the phone(s) definentaly were not to blame. Basically, I could't move more than 2 or 3 feet away from the phone before the bluetooth connection began to get fuzzy and fall out dramatically....it is rated for 33' right?! Also, the earbuds are comfortable, but a PITA because they keep falling off, I had one of them break too! Overall, this headset is a nice unit that needs a fix in the range of operation. I can hear everybody perfectly clear, but they cannot say the same.

    I exchanged the headset and it seems like it works a little better. I can now actually walk a couple of rooms over and it'll work with the headset in the other room. It gets a little staticky, but thats expected. I am now using a KRZR K1m Verizon phone, which pairs with it very quickly and works very well with the phone. The earbuds are only an issue if you like to keep them in the middle or "neutral position". I think Plantronics designed the headset so that the earbuds NEED to be twisted a couple of degrees to lock them into place; once I started using it like that the earbud didn't keep coming off.
