Plantronics M50

The Plantronics M50 is a good, inexpensive Bluetooth headset for users that need to talk all day on a single charge.

Excellent battery life. Comfortable. Great sound quality in earpiece for calls.

Subpar noise cancellation. A2DP streaming lacks bass.

Call Quality, Noise Suppression, A2DP, and Conclusions Once connected, you have limited volume control using the button on top of the headset. I found it easiest to leave the volume turned up on the M50, and to control it on whatever device I was...

Plantronics M50 Review

Plantronics released the M50 Bluetooth mobile headset mid-October 2011. This sleek-looking headset features extended battery life, streaming music and podcasts from smartphones, and blocks noise and wind from calls, to name a few. It comes with a...

Plastic piece that goes behind the ear could be made a little more flexible/softer ; Rubber piece that sets in ear took a little bit of adjustment at first to get fitted inside ear ; Body of headset would be a little more comfortable if shorter in...

Great seller

Seller refunded and got my purchase taken care of. Now I have to find a comparable model that will work

Great product- has long talk time and voice answer features

discontinued product, old stock and batteries are same age. Other sellers are selling item for higher amount. Those may work but do not want to take the chance

Garbage

Spend a little more for the real thing. I wanted this model since I like the earpiece fits better than the M55, but these I am not sure are authentic.

absolutely none

ordered 2 units- generic packaging and cables. neither unit functions to where it is usable- one will not come on at all

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Is this OEM?

This is a cheap knock off of the real thing. What a disappointment! Would give this zero eggs, if it was possible.

Well, you can use this device wirelessly

I have x2 other Plantronics M50's (one for me and one for my husband). I ordered a replacement for one of them because I dropped mine in a cup of tea and killed it ; The device I received from NewEgg IS NOT the same as the others. I think the device I...
