Works ok with motorola razr. Had a plantronics explorer 330 (til I left it out in the rain) which fit my ear better. Like the volume control.

This was for my husband. He said that he had trouble with his connections but we did not know if it was the product, where he was at the time of using it or if it was the other parties connection. I would probably buy this again though because of its design and the way it fit.

Before I purchased this product, I had already purchased three other headsets but none of them worked good (prices were higher). Until I went on line and checked CNET and they recommended this product, so I went ahead and purchased it. It is really a good product. The price is right. The ear piece is the best that I have ever tried. Sometimes I even forgot I have it on my ear for hours. Go ahead and get one.

I sold my Discovery 650 and upgraded to the 655 because I thought the DSP would cut the noise in the car. Boy, was I disappointed. Not only did it sound a lot worse to people on the other end, but it sounded a lot more choppy on my receiving end as well.

It stays in my ear fairly well, even without the ear loop -- just the eargel. BUT...

The eargels unclip too easily when in a pocket, bag, or ESPECIALLY when in the pocket-clip charger. If I have it clipped on my pocket, the eargel faces out and unavoidably rotates to its removal position. When I brush up against anything the eargel flips out. I've lost two eargels now and it just sits in a drawer.

They should have designed a better retention mechanism on the eargel with some kind of positive release mechanism, and/or have the eargel facing back when it's in the clip in a pocket so it won't get torn off.

I also hated the force required on the buttons. I never used the volume controls (always did it from the phone), and I dreaded getting calls because I'd have to MASH the answer button into my head.

One more thing -- It's always getting "unpaired" from my Treo 680. I have to go through the Treo menus to get it to pair again. To be honest, this may have to do with the Treo more than the headset, but the two do not like each other that well.

The Discovery 650 without the DSP had much better audio quality, slightly lighter force on the buttons, but the same problems with eargels getting torn off in my pocket.

--- UPDATE ---

I called Plantronics tech support and they immediately sent me out new eargels. So I'm using it again.

Have you ever seen the old cartoons of the crash dummies? When they get hit in a particular spot on their chest, they just fall to pieces, which happens to this headset quite frequently in my case. In normal wear, stepping just a little to hard can jar the ear bud and loop loose, sending the whole headset to the ground. It just wont stay together. I have been very disappointed, as I expected more from the Plantronics line.
