With this headset the signal cuts in and out and it is difficult to have a conversation. I typically keep my phone in my shirt or pants pocket and with the other headsets I have used this is not a problem. I am looking for a new headset and based on my prior experience it needs:Excellent range and quality for the bluetooth connectionLong battery lifeDurable and replaceable partsLike to have a user replaceable battery Bought this several months ago from a local store and I am disappointed. I have used several bluetooth headsets in the past few years that I have either lost or broke including:Logitech Mobile Freedom (Ear loop broke, not replaceable)Jawbone (Speaker part broke from the headset)Motorola H300 (Lost)Out of all the headsets I have owned, this one has the weakest bluetooth connection.
Everyone that I have ever called on this thing complains that it picks up every little sound around me. My wife won't even talk to me if I call her using it. I was attracted to the small size and light weight of this device. If I try to call someone while driving, the noise from my quiet little car is so loud that nobody can understand what I am saying. I am just going to keep my old 510. I have an older Plantronics 510, and the old 510 is way better than this new 665. The quality of sound of the 665 is so bad that I am returning it for a refund.
Highly recommend this. Portable charging station is cool - car charger included - also cool. Great form factor - comfortable - excellent sound quality and noise cancellation. 3.5 to 4 hours talk time might not be enough.
For the money I paid, I expected more. I bought it because it was highly recommended by people but for me I was disappointed. I had to keep pushing it into my ear to hear well and also couldn't find just the right fit for my ear, so it kept wobbling.
It's just a poor design choice to have a crucial mechanism hanging on by such a tiny thread. So fairly frequently the earbud pops out of the headset socket and flies off somewhere. The over-ear clip flies off too, though not usually as far. Plantronics was good enough to send me a new pair of these, after I complained about the earbud and clip falling off at inopportune moments (are there any that aren't inopportune). Nevertheless, if you can keep the 665 in your ear long enough to make a phone call, it sounds pretty good. Once the bud is positioned inside the headset socket, it must be turned an 1/8th turn to 'lock' into place. But the new pair had the same design flaw: the earbud connects to the headset by way of some flimsy plastic nubs - or perhaps they're better described as nublets. The trouble is, the thing never really locks in, and over time it just defaults to the neutral (unlocked) position.
