Hello list, So my trusty Plantronics M50 gave up the ghost a few days back and I am in the process of looking for a replacement. As much as I liked it, I am trying to find something with a little better call quality.
I use the bluetooth earpiece for business calls and call quality/noise canceling is very important. I’ve tried out the Plantronics Voyager Legend and just wasn’t convinced. Not with the $80.00 price tag or with the call/sound quality. I returned that to Amazon (thank goodness for hassle free returns) and am now putting the Plantronics M55 through its paces and am so far equally unconvinced. Maybe I just had the bad luck of getting a crappy unit, but the audio is choppy and cuts out and that whole hands free answer/ignore is proven to be flakey. That and unlike the M50, the caller ID/ringer doesn’t go through the earpiece. I recall a few weeks back a fellow list member described his experience with first getting a buggy M55 and how good Amazon was about swapping it out for them. So who knows maybe I got a crappy unit as well or perhaps it speaks to a general quality issue with the model. Mainly, I am looking for an earpiece with a power switch and not a button where one has to press for a few seconds to connect. This is why I’ve tried out the Plantronics models as I know they have this switch. I have the earpiece in all day and I would prefer to just be able to flick it on and then answer a call. Can anybody recommend any other bluetooht earpieces that have solid noise canceling abilities and use a power switch and not a button? I’m not lookig for cheap and don’t’ mind paying a good price for something that will be worth it. Like I said, the Voyager legend just wasn’t doing it for me. I’m not interested in a stereo option since I prefer to have at least one ear free for general hearing both at home and when I’m out and about for situational awareness.
