Not worth the purchase, at any price
- Pros: Easy pairing. Good audio quality.
- Cons: The charging dock simply does not work; it is a horribly designed piece of hardware and I feel bad for the engineer who worked on it. The port where the power cable connects to the dock will not keep the cable connected. The headset will not stay in the dock. Therefore, trying to charge the headset becomes a frustrating game of trying to keep these 3 pieces connected together.
- Other Thoughts: Stay away. There are other cheap bluetooth headsets (including other Plantronics models) that will not cause so much pain.
Bad designed blue tooth
- Pros: It is small and light.
- Cons: I got this Bluetooth for Christmas after a friend told me about it. I bought the wrong one he had the 644 and not the 640E which is an older model. This Bluetooth was built in 2007 according to Plantonics the maker of the headset. They could not believe that Newegg was still selling it. I got Bluetooth and the ear buds kept falling out they would never stay locked in and the reception was terrible. I would like for Newegg or the Plantonics Company to take this headset off my hands and allow me to get another one with store credit. This is a absolutely terrible Bluetooth and I do not think that Newegg should not continue to see it anymore and if they do so at a considerable discount so it the costumer do not like it they can throw it away. I bought a newer blue tooth and it is working great and it is a Plantonics it is not the company but the design I guess they got better with age.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg should take it off their shelves or discount it never sell it at their normal price again.
Not 15 hour talk time.
- Pros: Light small no need for ear loop.
- Cons: The specs say up to 15 hours talk time. The box says up to 5 hours talk time increasing to 15 with AAA charger. If it's using the charger it's NOT 15 hours. You can't talk 15 hours straight without charging it.
- Other Thoughts: The specifications point out 15 hours talk time. They say nothing about needing in between recharges. I'm an upset customer. This wording is very deceptive. When you say 15 hours of talk time it means 15 hours of talk time not. It's not five hours with recharges in between.
