Rating: - Great for the price
First off, I must say that this is the only bluetooth earpiece i've ever used. So, I don't have much to compare it to. However, reviewing it independently, it is a great headset for the price. As long as you aren't in a noisy environment, you can hear clearly. And, the headset itself seems to pick up voice clearly. It will also pick up other little noises clearly... so be careful where you use it. lol It seems to filter out noises like wind well.

I love this headset. My first Plantronics Voyager 510 was stolen. I bought another brand to replace it and hated it. I then purchased another Plantronics, at a considerably higher price (thinking if the 510 was so good, then a higher priced one would be better). I was wrong! I ended up returning it and ordering the 510 again. It has excellent sound quality on both ends. It does not pick up the sound of the motor running when I am driving and delivers a clear crisp sound for my listener. Not to mention it is very reasonably priced.

I always check Consumer Reports for ratings before purchasing goods. They rated this bluetooth as a "Best Buy" and it was rated excellent for sound quality. I figured that to be the most important feature in a bluetooth headset, so I ordered one some months ago from a seller on Ebay (for the same price as the 2 I bought on Amazon). I LOVE mine...so, for Christmas I ordered one for my husband and one for his daughter--ad they both LOVE them, too. If I have any 'criticism' whatsoever, it is that the headset is easily 'bumped off' the ear by a coat collar, etc., but its not like you wouldn't notice it ;-). The sound quality is excellent--so much better than trying to hold a rigid cell phone up to your ear to try to hear someone talking. My husband has diminished hearing and this has been wonderful for him, as he can adjust the volume accordingly. In short, we think these are great! Not only that, the price on Amazon is less than 50% of the manufacturer's website price. It is an excellent buy in my opinion.

Very good. Got it as a replacement for my old 510 which got washed. have always been pleased with this set and like the new no light feature.
Rating: - Works Well
Although I did not buy this for myself, I feel I can give a perspective to it's quality. I bought this for my brother-in-law for Christmas. I have spoken to him on it and had to ask if he was using the headset. So, for people on the other end of the phone, this is a great headset. The only problem with it, however, is a problem all bluetooth headsets experience. The user looks like a jerk if they are wearing it anyplace other that their car or while at their desk. One time, a guy was wearing one while playing softball. I mean come on, he was up at bat and the blue thing was blinking away...unbelievable. But yeah, this Plantronics job seems like a pretty good product.
