 Sleek, sexy little headset doesn't sacrifice form or function July 25, 2008

The search for the perfect Bluetooth headset is never-ending, it seems. In the last 3 years, I've gone through more brands and models than I care to think about. Now I've tried the Plantronics Discovery 925, and tell you with no hesitation that it is in the top two of those I have used.
The Plantronics Discovery 925 is more an earpiece than a headset, with an earbud that fits inside the ear with surprising comfort, rather than an earloop that hangs over the ear. This means that it is much more comfortable to wear with eyeglasses and/or sunglasses. Indeed it is so comfortable that I sometimes forget I am wearing it.
Pairing the device is a snap, and while my old Jabra headset frequently lost its pairing (weekly at least), the Plantronics Discovery 925 has not yet.
The sound quality is tremendous. Audio is crystal clear from both my side and on the caller's side, if my friends and family are to be believed. LOL
Plantronics touts this headset as having great noise reduction technology, and I will say that it is better in the noise reduction arena than all but one of the headsets I've tried in the past. The only headset I have personally tried that surpasses the Plantronics Discovery 925 in noise reduction is the Jawbone headset.
What I really love about the Discovery 925 is the charging options. This headset comes with both an AC charger cable and a USB charger cable. Not only that, it comes with a compact charging case. You can charge the headset either in the case or directly, using the same cables for each. The beauty of the case is that it charges alongside the headset when you have it plugged in to electrical power. Then when your headset's battery dies, you simply put the headset in the case to recharge on the go - WITHOUT connecting either the case or the headset to electrical current. I've purposely let the headset's charge completely drain and charged it with the case, and found it worked admirably. And to top it all off, the Plantronics Discovery 925 charges fully in just a couple of hours, whether via electrical current or the portable charge case.
Now here is where I prove what a woman I can be. The last quality I want to point out is purely cosmetic - its appearance. This is by far the most attractive headset I've ever seen. It's design almost looks like a cufflink or tie clip. It is sleek, innocuous, and comes in three different colors: black, gold, and pink. Personally, I like the more unobtrusive black model myself, but for those who want a little bit livelier hue, the other options work too. Yeah, I know, the appearance is a pretty frivolous virtue, but as often as we wear these things nowadays, it is nice to find a Bluetooth headset that doesn't have to trade form for function.
For the best in noise reduction, Jawbone's Bluetooth headset is the overall winner, but Plantronics Discovery 925 runs a very close second in this category. In all other categories, I would choose Plantronics as the number one headset.

Really, this one works! July 21, 2008

I tried four different bluetooth devices in one month, back to back, and this one was far and away the best. It fits with the simple soft plastic "clip" and it is so lightweight that you will seriously forget that it's there. Incoming quality is good, and there are no annoyingly loud beeps (such as with the Jawbone!) or strange tones that come from it. Most important: PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU. it' s amazing; this is the only bluetooth headset that actually performed it's intended purpose without difficulty. The noise canceling system seems to really work well. The padded case (with a storage battery inside it!) is really great for traveling, and even for carrying in your pocket once you arrive somewhere and don't need it in your ear anymore. A great, complete package. Strongly recommend it.
Other devices I tried: An older Plantronics (655? can't remember), which didn't fit and had a proprietary earbud piece you couldn't replace; the Jawbone, which screems in your ear as goes in and out of range (and I broke the clip off of it in one week); Motorola HV10, which did not really provide any useful audio connection in either direction, and then this one, the 925.
Finally, a Bluetooth that works! September 2, 2008

I'm thrilled with my Bluetooth earpiece. While the silicone ear insert took a day or so to get used to, I now love it. It's the first earpiece that I have not had to fuss extensively with fit and NEVER with sound quality!!
Comfortable, geek-chic earpiece November 20, 2008

The Plantronics Discovery 925 is designed to look cool -- as cool something stuck in our ears *can* look. The features and accessories may boost the price, but for anyone who frequently uses Bluetooth headsets, these make the Discovery 925 well worth it, particularly since this device is extraordinarily comfortable for long-term wear.
This is one of the few, if not the only, ear pieces that does not hook around the ear; instead, you press it against the ear canal, and it sticks, thanks to a silicon cover and stabilizer that comes in three sizes for individual fit. I can shake my head and jump up and down with the earpiece facing the ground; it NEVER falls out. The device is a breeze to pair since it automatically searches for available Bluetooth devices as soon as you turn it on. There's a volume control (three stages only) and, of course, one touch button for calling and voice dialing. The ear piece comes with three different chargers -- for wall outlet, USB laptop, and a carrying case that hold a one-time charge. These charging options allow a variety of options for users who travel a lot or who use an earpiece for hours at a time. Both the earpiece and the carrying case arrived fully charged, so I was able to use them immediately out of the box.
The stated range of 33 feet was somewhat less, and I easily walked out of range more than once. (My cheaper Motorola has greater range.) The sound quality, however, was first-rate, although wind noise can be pronounced on a breezy day. Because I can't get the 925 to work with my voice command feature on my Sony Ericsson cell phone, I used Plantronics customer service, both on the phone and live online. While the service reps were pleasant, neither was helpful, although my problem may be too phone-specific for them to understand. It is frustrating that it doesn't look like I can use this for voice dialing on a phone that was able to execute it using a Motorola device.
Overall, this is an excellent product that deserves serious consideration from those who wear their Bluetooth earpieces for a prolonged time.

I like this product , It stays in your ear with out hooks I can hear them and they can hear me. The carrying case has two uses, one as a case, and the other as a charger on the run , first charge the case then unplug it then use the charge when ever you put the ear piece in the case, ausome.Also works in either ear without much ajustment. Would recommend.
