Despite its rugged exterior, the Explorer 370 has fairly basic features. Features include the typical answering, rejecting, and ending calls, last number redial, a low battery status indicator, plus the capability to transfer calls from the headset to the phone, and vice versa. We missed having voice dial support and would have liked call mute as well.
We paired the Plantronics Explorer 370 with the RIM BlackBerry Pearl without a problem, thanks to Plantronics QuickPair system that puts the headset in pairing mode immediately after it's turned on for the first time. Call quality was fairly good. Its volume was very loud, and voices sounded clear; however, callers sometimes thought we sounded a bit fuzzy. The Explorer 370 has a wind filter which does a great job of blocking out a majority of wind-related noise.
The Plantronics Explorer 370 has a rated battery life of 7 hours of talk time and a standby time of eight days. The Explorer 370 comes with an AC charger and a lanyard.
