Review: Plantronics Explorer 220 Bluetooth Headset

 

Affordable, entry level bluetooth headset.

Inexpensive. Lightweight. Lasts six hours on a charge. Easy to use

Hurt my ear after extended use. Mixed audio quality reported on receiving end

I used to make fun of people who wore headsets, especially while in the supermarket or walking down the street. I thought these people were pretentious. I didn’t think headsets were important except when driving, until I got an iPhone.An iPhone

Great but probably not the best

 

I didn't bought this headset, my relative barely used this and I found it in a drawer. I use it to connect to my laptop/iPod pretty much everyday to listen to music so I don't really know how good the mic is. The distance is same as my other Bluetooth...

Long Use Time, Good Audio, Easy Usage, Loud

Probably nothing except a bit uncomfortable and feel loose. and a bit long charge time

Very Nice

 

I mainly use this for my PS3 and it works perfectly. Others do not complain about my stereo comming through the other end. Good noise cancellation. I would buy again.

Comfortable, Long battery life, lightweight, well made, clear sound

none so far

seems ok

 

Pretty good for the price, I am glad I went with this over the ps3 bluetooth for the price.

Seems to work ok. I only use it with ps3 and have had no issues. Links right up and has good signal ; Very comfy on the ears which i was afraid of, but no issues

Only thing I notice is when the light flashes on the headset I can hear a faint static tic. I read somewhere there is a way to turn the flashing off, might have to try that

Good for PS3

 

The unit initally looked good when I plugged it in. It played DVD's and my already burnt DVD were able to be read perfectly and quickly. However I tried 5 times to burn a DVD with this unit, I tried dropping the speed to 3x from the default rate of...

Only cost $10 w/free shipping. I have used this with my phone and the person on the other side said everything was too loud? I use it with my PS3 and it works good. This syncs up easy. Charger automatically shuts off when battery is charged. Sometimes...

You get what you pay for.

 

New egg is awesome and I took a gamble because they have great low cost entry items. This one just wasn't so hot. I will buy from New Egg again of course.

This is a cheap bluetooth set. The fit on your ear is outstanding. It doesn't hurt my ear like other bluetooth or earbuds. The part that fits around your ear feels very sturdy. Seems like people hear me clear enough although there is a little trouble...

There is constant static, especially when I move. If I hold completely still, sometimes I can have no static. Also, I sometimes do not hear people through it even though the phone shows it's connected and on. At those times, you have to use the phone...

PLANTRONICS Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset Black Bulk (Explorer 220) - OEM

 

I was really surprised by this bluetooth, i wanted to get one and so my boyfriend purchased me one through his account! (this is his btw) and i love it. The sound is crystal clear, i haven't had a single issue and it's great. I recommend it for people...

if you have small ears like me it's a little painful, but you get used to it ; One other thing is range, i know it's standard on all, but i wish they had a larger range, cuz i can't even leave my room without my phone or it disconnects. Oh well
