Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset In Depth

The Voyager 510 is Plantronics' first foray into the bluetooth arena and it shows.

While the 510 is functional and aesthetically pleasing it has a few important weaknesses. The range is not good, the controls (especially the on/off switch) are tiny and hard to use and it has a poor failure rate.

On the positive side it has a very good 6 hours of talk time and is very comfortable to wear. The 510 comes with three removable earbuds of varying size and shape, covered in a spongy cloth. They are easily attached to the headset in order to rest snugly in your ear canals.

• One headset for wireless communication in and out of office.
• Lightweight headset design for all-day wearing comfort.
• Desk phone adapter turns your office phone into a Bluetooth® phone.
• Versatile headset for both office and Bluetooth® mobile phones.
• Noise-Canceling microphone for clearer conversations.
• WindSmart provides wind-noise reduction technology for optimal sound clarity - this is as stated by Plantronics but my experience is that wind still plays havoc with sound quality.
• Sold as a straight bluetooth headset or as a complete system (with optional handset lifter).
• Can be simultaneously paired with your mobile phone and your telephone base station - one headset for all occasions.
