I typically keep my phone in my shirt or pants pocket and with the other headsets I have used this is not a problem. Bought this several months ago from a local store and I am disappointed. I have used several bluetooth headsets in the past few years that I have either lost or broke including:Logitech Mobile Freedom (Ear loop broke, not replaceable)Jawbone (Speaker part broke from the headset)Motorola H300 (Lost)Out of all the headsets I have owned, this one has the weakest bluetooth connection. With this headset the signal cuts in and out and it is difficult to have a conversation. I am looking for a new headset and based on my prior experience it needs:Excellent range and quality for the bluetooth connectionLong battery lifeDurable and replaceable partsLike to have a user replaceable battery
Everyone that I have ever called on this thing complains that it picks up every little sound around me. I was attracted to the small size and light weight of this device. If I try to call someone while driving, the noise from my quiet little car is so loud that nobody can understand what I am saying. I have an older Plantronics 510, and the old 510 is way better than this new 665. The quality of sound of the 665 is so bad that I am returning it for a refund. My wife won't even talk to me if I call her using it. I am just going to keep my old 510.
Great form factor - comfortable - excellent sound quality and noise cancellation. 3.5 to 4 hours talk time might not be enough. Portable charging station is cool - car charger included - also cool. Highly recommend this.
I bought it because it was highly recommended by people but for me I was disappointed. I had to keep pushing it into my ear to hear well and also couldn't find just the right fit for my ear, so it kept wobbling. For the money I paid, I expected more.
So fairly frequently the earbud pops out of the headset socket and flies off somewhere. But the new pair had the same design flaw: the earbud connects to the headset by way of some flimsy plastic nubs - or perhaps they're better described as nublets. Plantronics was good enough to send me a new pair of these, after I complained about the earbud and clip falling off at inopportune moments (are there any that aren't inopportune). The over-ear clip flies off too, though not usually as far. Once the bud is positioned inside the headset socket, it must be turned an 1/8th turn to 'lock' into place. The trouble is, the thing never really locks in, and over time it just defaults to the neutral (unlocked) position. It's just a poor design choice to have a crucial mechanism hanging on by such a tiny thread. Nevertheless, if you can keep the 665 in your ear long enough to make a phone call, it sounds pretty good.
