Comfort and Crisp Sound for Your Ear
Measuring 2.7 x 1.0 x 0.9 inches and weighing a mere 0.3 ounces, you'll barely know that the Discovery 925 is in your ear. But with its striking cerise-pink and silver color combination and minimalist features, this one-of-a-kind earpiece will surely get you noticed--in a good way. (The earpiece is also available in onyx-black and alchemy-gold).

The Discovery 925 is designed to follow the contours of your cheek. It features a filtered glass bead that's been blasted and anodized for a ceramic high-gloss elegant finish. The ultra-lightweight design offers a secure comfortable fit so you can stay connected hands-free for hours. And the earpiece includes three uniquely shaped gel eartips--small, medium and large--that are designed to conform snugly to the contours of your ear without the need for an earloop stabilizer, so nothing will interfere with earrings or eyewear.

Once you place the earpiece into your ear, making calls is as simple as it gets. It has a multi-function button on the diamond-shaped face that powers the device, dials or releases calls, triggers voice dialing, or kicks the earpiece into pairing mode. A second button lets you control the volume. For voice clarity, a 1.9-inch boom brings the microphone closer to your mouth to reduce background noise as you talk. The boom mic also houses the earpiece's antenna. And finally, a micro-USB port is located on the side of the earpiece for charging.

AudioIQ Noise Control and On-the-Go Charging
The Discovery 925 features AudioIQ technology that blocks out annoying background noise in most situations, giving you clear calls every time. The earpiece lets you roam up to 33 feet from your Bluetooth phone and it supports multipoint technology, which allows two Bluetooth devices to be paired to the earpiece. This means you can receive and make calls from two of your phones without having to switch earpieces.

The Discovery 925 runs on a rechargeable lithium ion battery that gives you up to five hours of talk time and up to seven days of standby time from a single charge. And when the earpiece is not in use, you can store it in its unique color-coordinated case, which performs double duty with its sturdy but stylish construction and its integrated rechargeable battery. Not only will the case protect the earpiece from everyday hazards, but it will also keep your earpiece charged. Simply charge the case directly with the included AC charger or USB cable--with or without the earpiece in place--and when fully charged, it will have enough power provide your earpiece up to five hours of talk time for when you need it.

Of course you can still charge the ear piece directly with the AC charger, but with this convenient recharging case, you don't have to worry about your earpiece running out of power while you're on the go. Just place your earpiece in the case, and safely store it in your handbag or briefcase. When you're ready to use it again, it will be fully charged with enough power for up to five hours of talk time.

The Discovery 925 is backed by a Plantronics 1-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
Bluetooth earpiece, charging case, AC charger, USB cable, and three eartips (S, M, L).



AudioIQ technology blocks out background noise for clear phone conversations.
(Onyx-black version shown.)

5 out of 5 stars Plantronics 925 versus Jawbone (version 1)   June 27, 2008
 25 out of 25 found this review helpful

I agonized over these two items before picking the Plantronics 925.

Why Jawbone is better (in my opinion):
(1) better noise canceling capability (if there is some turbulence in the air, you can hear it with the 925 but not Jawbone).
(2) more masculine design (though the 925 black version is slightly more masculine, the overall design looks like a hair pin. the gold & cerise designs gear toward the female fashionistas).
(3) cheaper (by a few bucks if you shop around).

Why Plantronics 925 is better (in my opinion):
(1) smaller, lighter, & fits nicely in your ear.
(2) gel ear tip works very well. doesn't feel insecure like the Jawbone. i have free range of movement without feeling like it's going to fall off.
(3) ambidextrous - can change from right to left ear without adjustment (unlike Jawbone).
(4) the charging case provides extra juice on the run (however, it looks girly (sincerest apology to the female readers). the micro-USB port is an inconvenience as you cannot use your standard USB charging cable and I have many of those around the house already).
(5) very fast syncing.
(6) audio quality of the 925 and Jawbone is superior compared to their peers.
(7) distinct design. some of my friends already have the Jawbone, but none has the Plantronics 925 yet.

0--0--0--0--0--0
after three months' use - - -
(+) very light-weight. comfortable. hardly feel in your ear(s) at all.
(+) good volume.
(+) there is a useful function where you can (re)establish BT connectivity after answering call by pressing talk button on the phone rather than the headset, allow easy (re)connection if you accidentally answer the call using the phone and not the headset, especially on the road.
(-) headset battery runs out after ~2 of non-use.
(-) the recharger holder is nice but i don't use EVER after 2 months. a hassle to carry / insert / remove. only useful if you go on a 2-3 day trip to the boondocks.
(-) i dropped it once from 3-ft height. got scratched. but still works.



5 out of 5 stars This made Consumer Reports "Top Product" list.   October 16, 2008
 14 out of 14 found this review helpful

I've been extra pleased with two things concerning this product lately. For one, it is in the November 2008 issue of Consumer Products as having made the "Top Products" list.
Then last weekend I saw it in the Sunday ad's at Best Buy on sale for $115. I paid under $80 for mine here, and it qualified for free shipping to boot!

The Consumer Reports says,
"This mono Bluetooth costs more than most, but it's among the lightest and smallest and earned very good scores for talking and listening. Noise-canceling technology reduces background noise to facilitate the conversation. It supports multi-point pairing - the easiest way to pair your headset to a phone." (BTW - they have the list price at $135)

Now for my opinion.
I have very small ears and have had a hard time finding a bluetooth that would stay on so I wanted to give this 'in ear' design a try. It fits great with a nice secure feel and more importantly it sounds great and (I'm told) sounds great to the caller too. No one has asked me yet if I'm on speaker or bluetooth. So far, no complaints from anyone. I'm very happy with all of it's features as well.



5 out of 5 stars Sleek, sexy little headset doesn't sacrifice form or function   July 25, 2008
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

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.

3 out of 5 stars Great for hearing... on my end, not others!!!   August 28, 2008
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have had a difficult time finding a bluetooth headset due to a hearing loss that I have in both ears. Any that I had tried I couldn't hear the callers on any setting. There was NO problem hearing people on my end on this phone. I was in heaven.

However, I have to scream into the headset in order for other people to hear me! It's ok if I'm in the car, but a bit unruly if I am in public.

The charger is a wonderful idea as I always forget to charge things. It is much smaller than it looks in the pictures, and the color choice is quite nice.

I was a bit disappointed that the charging mechanism isn't stardard mini-usb, as I did not need another chord to have to find a plug to. Standard mini was very doable on this headset and would have made it even better.

It's a good headset for hearing, but the reception on the other end makes this one that you might want to pass on.



5 out of 5 stars No complaints   December 15, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

At the suggested retail price, I would never have made this purchase, but because it was a reasonable Gold Box offer, I leapt toward my first bluetooth earpiece. The pink was not a selling point, but I preferred that to a more common black contraption, and I'm not at all disappointed. It's more of a mauve than pink which was more pleasing to me. It synched up immediately with my cell phone and I suspect it will do the same when this phone is replaced in 2009. The manual was easy to read and understand and I had no difficulty placing the earpiece into the lovely leather carrying case/charger or removing it to use. Although some have complained about short battery time, I have not experienced that and have not have the battery die at any time. It is easy to check the battery level by depressing the two buttons on the device and observing the number of red flashes for remaining power. The small size might be easy to lose for some, but I'm aware of that possibility and exercise caution when I put it in my bag or pocket. Because of that small size, it takes only a second to plug the earpiece into the ear and I do not wear it unless I am on a call. Realizing that it's lightweight, I am also cautious in more windy situations. I had only one experience with a less than perfect call and was a bit disturbed until I realized the static was generated from the other end of the call. In general, I like the fit, clarity, ease of use, and don't feel like I have a growth erupting from my ear. I'd buy this again.
