A very nice and light weight replacement!
After my old Motorola HS850 Bluetooth wireless headset broke, so I went to Best Buy to get a replacement.
After much shopping around, I came across this Plantronics Discovery 665 Wireless Headset. It is small, light weight, and easy to use. Just like my old Motorola. It cost me about $100 plus tax to own. I have no regrets what so ever about my decision to purchase this headset. ABOUT THE HEADSET :
The lithium ion battery supports up to 3 and a half hours of talk time. Yeah I know, that’s a pretty small number, but when you look at the size of this headset you will know why and understand that it is a reasonable amount of time for the size of battery it has. The standby time is much lower compared to other headsets. It has a standby time of only 80 hours. I personally have no problem with the talk time or the standby time because I have this headset plugged in to my PC at work daily, so it is always charged. The specifications say that the Bluetooth has a range of 33 feet or 10 meters on this device.
Now let’s get to the goodies: it weighs only 9 grams (yup that’s right, it is tiny). Even though it is so small, the headset also has some on board controls like the Call Answer/End and Volume buttons. There is also a blue LED light that indicates incoming calls or connectivity with your mobile device. The Call Answer/End button can also be used to redial the last number. It can also be used with a mobile device that supports voice activated dialing. Plantronics added this new AudioIQ technology that improves the experience on both ends of a call with this headset. It basically is an intelligent digital sound enhancement feature to improve sound quality. I think it works very well.
