"Sleek, elegant bluetooth with great performance!"
Pros: Excellent sound quality both directions, lightweight, excellent Multi Purpose button
Cons: No AC adaptor
Summary: Exchanged a previous Bluetooth device, which I returned, for this one. Previous device had a cheap feel to it... buttons felt flimsy, didn't get good tactile feedback when you pressed the buttons. The Plantronics 350 has one button, which feels firm and is very easy to use. When you want to increase volume, you can find the button easily while wearing the device, and pressing it up or down gives good, firm feel so you know the button was pressed.
Sound on this device is excellent so far. I've only used it for a couple of days, but it exceeds the other bluetooth device I returned, for excellent sound. Also, the 350's volume is much higher then the returned bt headset, and this device looks and feels "Quality" much moreso then the returned device.
I really like the accessories package, as well. It comes with a sleek car cradle which clips to your cars a/c vent. It includes a car charger, which can be attached to the car cradle, and allows you to charge the headset while in your car. For me, personally, this is a great accessory. If the headset goes dead, it's easy to recharge right in my car.
At home, you'll need to use the USB charger, which I don't mind. If I'm out of town, I always bring my laptop with me, so I can charge it from the USB or with the car charger. An AC charger would have been nice, but it isn't a big deal for me (by the way, the Explorer 340 is the EXACT same headset, but doesn't include the car accessories or USB charger. It does come with the AC charger, however, and costs around ten bucks less then the Explorer 350, so if you're considering this headset, that's another option)
If you miss an incoming call, the headset's light flashes purple, to let you know. If the battery is running low, it will flash red.
Headset allows for voice dialing, redialing, decline incoming call, accept incoming call, mute all controlled with one, Multi Function button which, as I mentioned, works very well.
This seems like Plantronic's sleeper headset... it's (more expensive) big brother, the Discovery 640, seems to get more ink, but if you're looking for a well made, quality bluetooth with excellent sound, don't overlook the Explorer 340/350.
