Customer Reviews

Good iPhone headset
Synced (or should that be sunk) easily with my iPhone. Very light. Took a few goes to work out how the earpiece fitted in my ear, but have gone a few hours now, and I'd hardly know I was wearing it. Calls are clear and it looks okay, if a little plasticky.

On the downside, the controls aren't very intuitive so you'll definitely need to read the manual. It is only three pages but I'm a bloke and we don't do manuals so I now feel like I need to put an Ikea shelf unit up without looking at the instructions to prove myself again.

There are only two buttons to control power, call answering and volume, but that's down to its size, so I think that's an acceptable tradeoff. The charger also uses a non-standard USB connector which is why I marked it down one star as I've already got a drawer full of proprietary leads and could really to with manufacturers sticking to standard sizes. On the plus side again, the idea of a charging carrying case is a great one, so while you're carrying it around while it's not in use, you're also recharging the battery.

I've not had it long enough to say anything definitive about battery life, but my initial impression is very good, overall.

===Update===
I've been using the earpiece for a few weeks now and have to say that the idea of having the carrying case function as a charger is inspired. By charging the battery in this, and then making sure you store the earpiece in it between uses means the effective battery life between charges is considerably extended in normal use (by normal use, I mean that I don't have it in my ear and switched on constantly, but rather use for a couple of hours while driving and then put away afterwards).

The non-standard USB connector still niggles, though. I either have to carry the lead around with me, or buy a lead for each additional device I might want to charge from.

Lucky for some
I am always grateful for all the reviews posted to give me a clue about a product. So I will try to be helpful in return. I just got myself an iphone 3G and wanted something stylish and functional to use with it to avoid breaking the law whilst driving.

The ear-piece is a little drop of heaven to use, the charging case equally ingenious. Light-weight, very comfortable with 3 different sized ear buds to suit most lug-holes. Simple button config that was easy to use. Looked like a gizmo out of The Matrix. I could hear everyone with crystal clarity.

However, my main problem was they could never really hear me. Apparently my voice dropped in and out of the call or sounded like I was distant at frequent intervals. Then, as soon as I had transferred the call to the phone, my voice was clear again. It was very frustrating and disappointing. I have since sent the item back and am content with Amazon offering a full refund including postage (top marks for customer service), but am sad that I couldn't keep it.

Perhaps it's a luck of the draw whether it will work or not. I would recommend this earpiece overall as perhaps it was a problem with the iphone as I know they are peculiar.

Great Item
I bought this when my car kit from Parrot stopped working. I had never really liked the Parrot and the sound wasn't great. The Plantronics 925 is great though, the sound is really clear and it's easy to use. It also looks good and is not big and heavy like some other ear pieces I have seen on the past. All in all, a great buy.
