Usable, but below expectationsNov 24, 2008
By Ariel
This is my first Plantronics headset and I expected more due to the great reviews from my Plantronics-owner peers. I've been through the Jawbone, Gennum, LG, Motorola and Sound ID headsets. The Voyager 835 got great reviews on CNET.com and I did my homework with the technology, but I would rate this headset as average. The clarity of incoming voices is above average, but soft. My voice is muffled on the receivers' end. There is minor static that I first noticed during the silence of being put on hold; but now I am aware of it all the time. Volume definitely needs to be louder. Conversation is fine in quiet indoor environments, but I bought this noise-cancelling, wind-stopping headset for practical reasons. The noise-cancelling and wind-stopping technology is good for the person I'm talking to; however, I keep having to ask them to repeat themselves because I cannot hear them in windy or environments with a lot of background noise. The usable range that the phone can be away from the headset is poor. Have it on opposite sides of your body and the static is deafening. It's a fairly inexpensive headset, so I guess you get what you pay for.

 Survived washer and dryer!!!Sep 08, 2009
By Skeeter
I go through bluetooth headsets regularly because I tend to lose them. I thought I'd wrecked my Plantronics Voyager 835 bluetooth headset when I left it in a front pocket in a shirt I washed and dried in the dryer. But when I opened the dryer to check on my clothes, the bluetooth was sitting there, flashing red and blue in pair-up mode, quite hot to the touch but still alive. And, believe it or not, it worked!! Initially, the ear speaker sounded tinny, but in a day, it had reverted to its old self. Now it sounds just like it did before its laundry adventure. Unbelievable! So I must give this device high marks for durability. And it provides good clarity and noise reduction for the price.

Not up to par expectationsMay 19, 2009
By Ben Franklin
Edit: The price has come down significantly, I originally paid $65 for this headset. at $20, I'd say it's a good value.
Here is my original 3 star review:
So after doing a little research into the different headsets and trying to find an affordable but high quality headset, I chose the Plantronics 835. Wrong choice.
It boasts wind cancelling feature and noise cancelling quality, neither of which I experienced. In light winds I was still able to hear moderately clear, but the other party reported not being able to hear me half the time. In heavy winds I could hardly hear the other party, and they couldn't hear me at all. Most the time they thought I lost connection until I switched back to my phone.
The noise cancelling was actually quite the opposite of what is advertised. I bought this headset because I live with 4 roomates on different schedules, so there is always considerable noise. When I use the headset in my room the other party can hear me moderately clearly, as I can hear them, but they do report random high pitched whines and echoes that go away upon switching to the phone. They also say they can hear the background noises much louder than me, whether it's snoring, talking, or a tv on a really low volume. There is also a constant static that is especially noticed during times of silence (being on hold).
The range is decent, but the controls are sometimes annoying. In order to voice dial you have to depress the main button for several seconds, which is very pressure sensitive. Sometimes it dials the last call instead. Powering off the device has the same issues.
I like the alert feature, whenever you recieve a call or message it sends an audible alert. But I don't like that I hear that beep everytime I use a function on my phone. It gets annoying soon after plugging the device into my skull.
Overall this headset gets the job done if you need both hands, but it doesn't go above or beyond a low budget headset. If you are looking for quality, this is not the headset you need. If you just need a cheap headset, there are many out there with the same quality and much less expensive. Stay clear from this one.

Moderately ImpressedJan 14, 2010
By K. Harvel
Pros: lightweight, good reception both ways--I hear clearly and others hear me clearly.
Cons: The indicator light to turn the headset on and off is directly below your thumb whenever you are pressing the button, so it's hard to tell when the device actually turns on or off. The ear piece does not fit snug into my ear, so the whole headset is kind of floppy on my ear (I am about 6'3" and 210lbs, so my ears might be a little bigger than average???). Volume is WAY TOO LOW. Read the other reviews--it is nearly impossible to listen to someone on the other end if you are in a noisy environment.
I would recommend this device but I would definitely explain the above precautions first.

 Expected betterSep 23, 2009
By Vicky Lee
Over the years, I've had several bluetooths, all of which were Plantronics. I was very happy with each and every single one of them. (I would need a new one because I would lose it, or the dog would chew it up on several occasions.) I found a deal on this one, and I went for it, expecting the same quality as the other Plantronics. Unfortunately, I'm not very happy with this one. Although the design physically isn't bad, the actual device hold up to par with other bluetooths (blueteeth?, haha!). The main concerns are that I sound muffled to the person that I'm on the phone with and the volume to hear the other person doesn't go very high. Then, there are little things here and there where there is brief static sounds, my bluetooth will disconnect itself once in while but that might be my phone, although I haven't had that trouble before, and I personally just don't like the plastic part that holds the bluetooth to the ear.
