Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset

admin — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:45:23 +0000

I have been using a Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset for the last couple of weeks. Normally I don’t like the in ear only design as they seem to always fall out or are uncomfortable. As a result I generally look for headsets with the earhook.

The Plantronics Discovery 925 has been an exception. It is easy to put into the ear and remove and the gel is very comfortable. The V design of the headset is interesting and the mic is picks up sound well.

It does not have as good of noise cancellation as the Jawbone headset I have used in the past but is more comfortable to wear.

Incoming sound is clear and it paired easily with the phone.

Overall, having tried a good 15 Bluetooth headsets, I would rank the Discovery 925 towards the top of the pack. If you are in a really noisy environment, the Jawbone may be a better option. If not, and comfort is a major factor, the Plantronics works great.

Go Bluetooth

Of all the accessories for phones these days, Bluetooth headsets are one of the most convenient. Only a couple of years ago, Bluetooth was such a new technology most phone users either didnt have a Bluetooth enabled phone or did not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a headset.

Bluetooth has dropped dramatically in price as you can now get decent Bluetooth headsets for as little as $19.00. Lately there have been Motorola OEM headsets for $5.00 after rebates and coupons.

As more states pass laws requiring the use of a headset while driving, Bluetooth becomes more of a necessity in any phone you may choose.
