The good: The Plantronics Explorer 350 is a sleek lightweight headset that is easy to use, plus it has great sound quality as well. It also comes with an in-car charging cradle and a USB cable.
The bad: The Plantronics Explorer 350 feels a little uncomfortable when worn, and it doesn't come with an AC adapter in the package.
The bottom line: The Plantronics Explorer 350 is a lightweight headset that sounds great. We wished only that it were a little more comfortable.
The Plantronics Explorer 350 Bluetooth headset is the successor to the Plantronics Explorer 320. Like its predecessor, it's slender and lightweight, though it doesn't have all the accessories that its sexier cousin, the Plantronics Discovery 655 does. The biggest disappointment is that the 350 doesn't even come with an included AC adapter. But by itself it's a pretty decent headset for novices who want a simple, easy-to-use device. The Explorer 350 retails for $89.95.

The Explorer 350 is mostly black with silver and chrome accents. It measures 2.6 by 0.8 by 0.5 inches and weighs a mere 0.6 ounces. It has a multifunction button on the front, which also acts as a volume rocker. While the button is on the small side, it was still pretty easy to press, even when wearing the headset. The button flashes blue when the headset's powered on and alternates between red and blue in pairing mode.

Cons No AC Charger; Can't Link Conf Call from Headset
Summary I'm a real bluetooth warrior (read my other reviews if you want details). I was a HUGE fan of the Plantronics 320...only passed it on to my brother to try something newer and "better". Bad decision.
So far, this thing rocks!
