Plantronics M50

The $49.99 Plantronics M50 Bluetooth headset looks good, feels comfortable, delivers solid voice performance, and boasts incredible battery life. If you're looking for a long-lasting Bluetooth headset to use indoors for hours at a time, look no...

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

Subpar noise cancellation. A2DP streaming lacks bass

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

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...

Quick and easy set-up ; Superior clarity of sound ; Notification of on/off to unit ; Notification of battery level ; Ability to call from one of two paired phones ; Long battery life ; Stylish design

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...

Excellent Headset

Had this headset for a few months now and it works very well. Charge time isn't long and lasts forever, granted I use it daily for around a couple of hours at the most ; I was worried about fit on the ear since this was the first bluetooth headset I've...

Sometimes have some volume issues with the person on the other end, but very rarely and I'm not even sure this headset is the cause

Great Bluetooth!

Excellent fit in the ear. The range is great and the sound is very clear. The battery life is great as well. I love the fact that I can listen to music from my phone using this headset, which is why I bought this device

Good headset, affordable price

So far, I feel this was a very good purchase. For $32 with shipping, the headset seems to work well and appears to have very good battery life.

Good quality, but uncomfortable

I like the sound quality and ease of use, but the ear tip is uncomfortable. Other earpieces I have used will include different ear tips that are easy to exchange, but not this one.

Consumer review by: Tammy (newegg.com)

works perfectly

Unit works as advertised. The volume is easy to use and works well. Clarity is great. I have this in my ear most of the day. I only have to charge it once a week. The thing works great. I love it

The only con I can think of is it takes a little getting used to having something in your ear

My First Bluetooth....Excellent

Hard to imagine a better one than this for the price. I have a Droid Razor Maxx HD and this thing will read my texts, notifications from FaceBook, and I speak for it to call a contact and it does, sound is clear and on the other end they say is good...

Hardly know its on your ear

Nothing so far
