 Great Quality July 5, 2008

I've been a big fan of Plantronics products for some time. They make a-lot of commercial communication equipment for aviation, dispatching, etc. and I've used some of them in those capacities. The kind of commitment to quality it takes to maintain those markets shows up strongly in their Bluetooth Headsets. I had been using their Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset with Multipoint Technology [Retail Packaged] headset for a year and have never had a single complaint. When asked to review this product, I thought it would be hard to live up to the Voyager's performance, but the "Discovery 925" handled it with ease.
This is a new idea in Bluetooth headsets. It is ultra light, sharp looking and meant to be worn for extended periods without discomfort. For the first time in my experience there is no "over the ear" sling or hard "loop" to snag on your hair, jewelry or rub your ear the wrong way. The 925 fits inside your ear and at about 1/3 of an ounce, you hardly know it's there. It comes with three sizes of gel eartips that I would think would fit just about everyone. The mic boom is contoured to follow the curve of your cheek. I am a very large man and this headset fits me like a glove. I also had my much smaller friend try it (with a different eartip) and it fit her equally as well.
The ease of connection and sound quality is pure Plantronics. If you've used their Bluetooth headsets before and liked them, the 925 will not disappoint. If you're new to Plantronics, I would suggest giving them a try. They tend to cost a bit more, but in this case you really do get what you pay for.
The Best July 22, 2008

I previously wrote a review for the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset with Multipoint Technology [Retail Packaged]. At the time I claimed that it was the best Bluetooth headset on the market. That was two years ago. I have to update my statement as this is the first headset I have used that surpasses the 510 (still a very good headset, especially for the price). This is without a doubt the best headset I have ever used.
Pros:
1. Light. This unit is lighter then many similar devices. Even though it comes out on the face farther then some the material is very nice.
2. Appealing. One of the negatives of the Plantronics line has always been that they were ugly. This device changes that. The unit is slick with a nice chrome/black finish across that seems to resist scratching.
3. Great battery life.
4. Backup batter life by having the battery case included.
5. Included case provides protection along with the charging.
6. Comes with both USB power cable and AC adapter for the case.
7. Multipoint technology (connect with two devices at once) is a must for me and works flawlessly.
8. Outside noise reduction works incredibly well.
9. Power on and power off button easy access on facing panel of device.
10. Distinctive noise tones make for easy control.
11. Comes with 3 different size ear pieces.
12. The device can charge from the USB cable directly, AC or in the battery case. Great design!
Cons:
1. Breaks from the standard Plantronics plugs adapters so you won't be able to use any legacy power cables you may have.
2. Ear pieces are still not overly comfortable. At least not for me although they stay in the ear very well.
3. After a bit of use the fitness of the earpiece on the device begins to loosen and and not hold in place as firmly.
This is very good headset and one that I plan on using for the next year or two. This is definitely my pick in this market and there is very little I would change on it. Well worth a premium over almost any other device on the market. And the color is pretty cool too!
I Love the Discovery Headset July 2, 2008

Setting this up was pretty darned easy and that was a big plus for me, because this is my first experience with bluetooth wireless. It paired with my pink razor right away, hooray. Now as for using, well I am impressed. I've seen people on the streets who appear to be talking to themselves, crazy looking they are and I vowed to never be one of those.
Well I am now.
As of this morning I had ten thousand roll over minutes on my AT&T account. It was beginning to look like I was forever going to be paying for minutes I was never going to use. Not anymore, I'm a regular chatty Mallory now. I just love it
Don't leave home without it! July 17, 2008

As an increasing number of states are now requiring drivers to use Bluetooth devices or face fines, a good Bluetooth set is a must for some. And the Plantronics is that good set- in fact, it's a fabulous set. It's also a bit pricey as well, but thankfully, it's quite fashionable.
General Design:
The blue pulsating LED on the headset is sleek, modern, and cool. The carrying case with built-in charger, and embroidered leather stitches is a nice touch. I'm not a huge fan of in-ear sets, but the Discovery came with 3 handy in-ear silicone pieces that fit my small ears pretty well. The device was very secure, and did not fall out.
Setup:
I tested it with a Samsung A437, and it couldn't be easier. The phone detected the headset in about 30 seconds, and after entering in the pin number, was good to go.
Operation:
Crystal clear, even with the base phone located behind several walls and doors 20 feet away. The microphone was great. The tested Samsung A437 did not support voice-activated dialing, so I unfortunately could not test that feature.
Conclusion:
A stylish, and extremely functional little number. It's pricey, but it's also hassle-free and easy to use.

I ONLY GAVE THIS ITEM 4 STARS BECAUSE OF HOW AWKWARD IT IS TO REMOVE THE EARPIECE FROM THE CHARGER (GOLD). I LOVE THE STYLE, THE APPEARANCE AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS ITEM, IT WORKS WELL AND HAS BEEN NOTICED BY OTHERS I HAVE TALKED WITH, WHO USED TO POLITELY TOLERATE ALL OF THE BACKGROUND NOISE OF MY LAST EARPIECE. IT IS ALSO LIGHTWEIGHT, AND IS COMFORTABLE ON THE EAR, AND NO HOOK IS NECESSARY AT ALL.
THE GOLD PORTABLE CHARGER IS A REAL PLUS+++++ AND IS VERY ATTRACTIVE, IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A LIPSTICK CONTAINER THAN A TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICE, BUT THE PRRFORMANCE OF THIS CHARGER IS GREAT -- I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY CHARGE RUNNNING LOW WHEN I AM AWAY FROM HOME. I ALSO TRUST THE SAFETY OF PLACING MY BLUETOOTH IN AN AREA WHERE IT COULD BE DAMAGED. IT ALSO WOULD FIT QUITE NICELY INTO A MAN'S POCKET (IT'S THAT SMALL), SO THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A FEMININE ITEM.
I LIKE THIS PRODUCT FOR ITS APPEARANCE, IT'S PERFORMANCE, AND THE FACT THAT I DO NOT LOOK AS IF I AM CARRYING YET ANOTHER TECH DEVICE IN MY PURSE, BUT I AM PROUD OF THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, IF PLANTRONICS CAN JUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE EASE OF REMOVAL OF THE EARPIECE FROM THE EXTERNAL CHARGER.
