 Works GreatDec 19, 2008
By Fly Bye
"Toy Lover"
Great product. I have no problem hearing anyone and they can hear me just fine. Love that I can use it without needing the ear hook due to when I wear sunglasses it doesn't hurt to have this on at the same time. The button to turn on and off is a little hard to push especially if the unit is in my ear and I want to end a call, I have to grab the whole thing and push the button to end a call but other than that it is a great earpiece.

 Charger connector still a bad designApr 17, 2009
By Fran-Mike
This is not about the seller, but about a design issue that Plantronics has yet to address through this model (665). I purchased the 665 after my Plantronics 520 stopped recharging (I had it for about 9 months). The issue for the 520 was that the snap connector used in the recharger design (like a snap button on a shirt) sometimes stayed connected and sometimes didn't according to the recharging indicator light--just before I replaced this unit, it connected for only seconds before the recharging indicator light turned off. I bought the 665 because I thought Plantronics had replaced this connector with a mini-USB, but unfortunately that was only partly true. The recharging plastic module (like a little plastic sleeve) that I could plug the 665 into used a mini-USB connector which maintained a snug, good connection. However, the plastic module used the same faulty snap adapter on its bottom as my previous 520 headset for connecting to the recharging cord which plugged into the power source. As a result, I had the same problem that I had with the 520--it didn't stay connected according to the recharging indicator light. This second time around, the 665 wouldn't fully charge from the time I received it!! The light would indicate it was connected for a few seconds and then would disconnect even though the snap connector was firmly snapped together. In researching this problem, it seems that I am not alone in having this problem. there appeared to be no easy fix, so I returned it.
MESSAGE TO PLANTRONICS: Please give up on the snap type connector that you are using for recharging--IT IS SIMPLY AN EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN WHICH DOESN'T WORK WELL AT ALL!!!!
Other feedback: Very comfortable, fits ear well, and good sound quality in and out. I would have kept the unit and been pretty happy had I been able to get a charge into it! With a working recharger connector, I would have rated this a 4 with no difficulty.
Hopefully sometime in the near future, Plantronics will wise up and use a recharging adapter design that will maintain a secure connection. Until that happens, I will not be purchasing any more of their bluetooth headsets!

Bad quality, bad designJan 19, 2009
By Jad Naous

The good:
- battery life is decent
- features like redial, mute, voice command work well
- volume range is perfect
- The gel earpieces are comfortable
- Excellent range. My phone was upstairs, and I was downstairs and I could continue my call just fine.
- comes with both a car and usb charger.
- again: usb charger
The bad:
- 5 months after I bought it, I started hearing crackling noise on all calls. I called plantronics, and they said they will replace it, but what happens after the warranty expires?
- The gel earpiece keeps coming off and falling on the floor. I was sick of having to look for it and retracing my steps every time I wanted to use so I eventually glued it on.
- That flashing LED must be the worst design decision ever. At night, it lights up the whole room, so I have to turn it off when I go to sleep. It's also very distracting for people around you if you have it in your ear and for you if it's in front of you on the table for example.
I would not buy it again or recommend buying this headset.

An okay, but not good, earpieceApr 21, 2009
By Peter Anthan
I've had this for about a year now and the things I liked about it I still like -- it's small and light, mainly. The things I disliked about it at first have grated on me, and they are many. The design is lousy, basically. The ear gel attaches by clipping quite loosely to the earpiece, and it's supposed to also secure the over-ear hoop if you use it. This setup is extraordinarily flimsy, with the ear gel falling out and getting lost easily. That means the hoop falls off, too. So you have to handle the whole apparatus very gingerly.
Add to this the need to carry the pocket clip in order to charge the earpiece either in the car or from the wall, and that's a lot of little bits to have to remember just to use your bluetooth headset. I found myself forgetting the pocket clip, which serves no other practical purpose, and so not being able to recharge the earpiece.
The talk time dwindles quickly from the advertised 3-4 hrs., which is already nothing great. The unit's buttons are tiny and take a lot of pressure to operate -- not convenient when you're dealing with something stuck into your ear.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to a friend given the large selection of much better units out there. This is probably one to avoid.
