Plantronics MX500i

Couldn't say anything positive e

I used to have older model of under the ear Plantronics headset and I loved it. I bought a new headset and have nothing but problems, Sound quality is bad, people I speak with all complain on Big Echo and that hear only every other word. Exchanged this...

Very light weight. Good sound quality both transmit and receive.

A little difficult to put on with a reverse over the earpiece. Can be a little uncomfortable if worn for several hours.

Adjustability, length of cord w/ clip, features (volume, mute, & extra adapter plug for use w/ cell phones, ear fit

I really can't think of any cons. I know some may think that it should have been made a little better by making it stronger & more durable but to do that would mean making it bulkier & heavier of which most will not like.

My trusty Creative Fatal1ty's mic gave out after two years of abuse. Since its speakers still work for media, I figured I'd go for a lighter single-ear headset. I've got a deep respect for Plantronics after my call center years, so a little hunting...

Note the past tense in that last line. Mic suddenly dropped to near inaudible levels within four hours of unpacking. Checked on two other computers and fiddled with the output switches to be sure, it's pretty much dead.

Was hesitant about the weird under-ear way to wear it, but it actually felt pretty good and secure.

The mute switch simply didn't work. Was always off mute, no matter the position of the switch. The switch looks cheaply made, so no wonder it failed. Can you imagine being off mute when you think you're on mute?

* We have two of these, my ears are medium sized my wife are pixie tiny. Fits both of us comfortable for up to 4 hours. * Incoming sound is crisp and clear with no distracting crackling highs or lows * Microphone sound is of very high quality.

* none, for the price.

lightweight. Universal. Inexpensive.

uncomfortable, the earpeice is backwards from other designs, the things that fits into your ear is too big, too hard and after a short bit of time too painful. I could hear ok (not excellent) once I got it on but everyone i talked to complained that...

+Excellent Sound Quality +light +detachable +Click to mute

+built quality is good but i wish it was better

Great sound, both coming and going. It really does handle wind noise well. No batteries, no charging to be concerned with. Comfortable, (but see below). Easy to put on and easy to adjust the voice tube, and it stays where you want it. Mine has proven...

It is wired, if that would bother you. I find I have to change ears after a couple of hours or it becomes a little uncomfortable.
