3rd time, not a charm
Love the idea and features represented by product, but if you plan to use this with a landline and other bluetooth services, then don't bother. I have just ended the life of my third unit and I'm done. Plantronics will be replacing with an older, but more reliable 900 mhz unit that I know will work, have a long range, and give me less headaches.

I have the unit set to work with a landline, but call quality is bad. EVERY call has static on my end and the other end. I've worked with tech support to no avail. I try to use with my cellphone, same issue.

I also have a softphone on my bluetooth enabled laptop. Since the softphone allows for some smoothing of the static and better audio quality, that is resolved for these calls. However, when I press the switch on the top of the base to switch from bluetooth device to deskphone, it renders the headset inoperable. It is this function-- key selling point of the product-- that causes it to break.

This product fails as a bluetooth device and barely passable as a desk phone headset. Especially since there are cheaper alternatives for both! Do better Plantronics!

best office bluetooth
Easy to set up, so comfortable and functional - best desk based bluetooth I've yet to find!

It's ok... compared to?
I am a first time bluetooth user. The earpiece is somewhat uncomfortable although switching the different sized earbuds is helpful. It is very convenient to switch between office and mobile phone using the same unit. The callers though that I've talked to while using the unit all complain about it being very noisy, lots of static etc.

Works okay
The device is by no means attractive, but the headset does work both when connected to the base-station/telephone as well as my cellphone. Sound quality seems good for me; once or twice the person I was speaking with said it sounded like there was background noise when I was speaking. Range is fine, and I can walk around and do things while using the device.

One for ALL and all for ONE
I have been a Jabra Bluetooth fan for years and this is my first non-Jabra Bluetooth headset. In these years I have broken, lost or damaged at least five Jabra headsets but still was looking for all for one solution.

There are three major audio communication devices today which may need a headset. Starting with your deskphone, your cell/mobile phone and may be your software VoIP running on your laptop/desktop specifically when you travel.

I am glad to say this device can do all that and that too with ease of use to the limit that factory settings will work for most standard phones.

Desk phone/Landline (as we used to call it :-) )
I am using Cisco 79xx series VoIP desk phone at work with headset button that has RJ11 jack for headset - piece of cake worked like a charm, no tuning required except minor volume setting.

Cell/Mobile
Paired with my blackberry and iPhone under a minute and up and running

VoIP Softphone: have not tried as yet but have been informed that it should work flawlessly.

So far my experience for the last 48 hours have been nothing but *five star*.

Sound Quality: Excellent 5* including NO static, noise etc
Distance: Pretty good, I can use my breakroom while in the meeting which should be 20+ feet without loss of quality
Remote pickup/drop: I dont have a lifter so I have to press headset button but can drop the call remotely. Cell phone works just fine the way it should including last number redial
Weight n Stuff : Very nice fit and light wt however as compared to typical BT series of Jabra it is little big (with extended MIC)
Noise Cancellation: Haven't heard a complaint as yet including while driving the car wih driving window open
Additional: I am thinking of buying the 500A base station for my home as well so that I can use the same headset for all my needs - Bonus.
Looks: Not bad but this is not the one that will enhance your looks :-). Extended Mic gives you noise cancelling, avoids your effort to speak louder but reduces the glamour case you care but thats my opinion.

Now the downside

1. Minor: Base station, as typical of Plantronics, too big could have done a better job but not really a downside as in cant take even half a point for that. But something to think about.

2. Major downside is unlike Jabra's amazing feature of connecting two bluetooth devices at the same time, 510S system just drops my cell phone and connects to basestation the moment it reaches with in the vicinity of signal - bad bad bad

I really wish that plantronics can develop the headset to support multiple bluetooth devices simultaneously so that irrespetive what rings you can answer and feel really handsfree.

That takes one star away. Case I could find a solution to this problem I will update my review.

Hope this info will help you a bit meanwhile "Wish you all the best in search for the perfect headset"
