Strengths: Works as advertised, no problems.
Weaknesses: Volume could be a little louder.
Summary: I am satisfide with this headset. I mainly use it while driving. Volume isn't loud enough when around a lot of noise, at those times I have to turn it off and use my phone. As far as connecting to my phone, their were no problems at all. If the volume would go just a little louder, I would rate it at 5 stars.

Strengths: Clear sound. The headset is decently priced and is very sleek.
Weaknesses: 2 day battery life at the most. Make sure to charge it every night
Summary: Great bluetooth! I would definitely recommend this product. Battery problem could always be solved by charging it the night before. Clear sound and definitely easy to use. Sleek design is great for anyone who hates some of the large, bulky headsets available out there.

Strengths: Sound is much better than other bluetooths I have used.
Weaknesses: The over the ear piece is a little too stiff making it hard to adjust.
Summary: This device works very well. It takes a little getting used to but the sound quality is the best I've had for this type of device. My only complaint is the over the ear piece is very stiff making it somewhat difficult to adjust. However, when you mount it properly it will stay on with no problems.

Strengths: great talk time, easy to use, easy to put on and take off
Weaknesses: noise canceling software advertised is not up to par
Summary: This is really a great headset. My wife loves hers, mine because of my work atmosphere is inadequate in it's noise cancelling ability. I will most likely upgrade to another headset, although in the meantime I am using it daily. for most applications it is superior to the ones I have used in the past, and the pricing and service from costcentral was great, I saw the same headset in the att store for $30 MORE!
I am buying several more for other family members and, if you don't work in a noise intense environment, I would reccomend this headset.

Strengths: I am hard of hearing and this helps me to hear a lot better. It's small and it's lightweight so it doesn not feel heavy on my ear at all.
Weaknesses: none that I notice
Summary: I have enjoyed this so much. I use it for all my conversations. I can hear the person I'm speaking to so clearly and most background static is gone. The only thing I'll sometimes hear as really lound things on the other end....like a car horn, loud music, etc. I can also speak to the headset and it will call who I want it to which is great when I'm driving.

Strengths: Best of the 3 bluetooth headsets I have owned. It will be the last if I don't break it.
Weaknesses: None, except you have to read the manual a little. I thought something was wrong with it when receiving calls until I realized it was VOICE ACTIVATED!
Summary: Can't beat it!!! The Best!
Also, it is currently the Editor's Choice of PC Magazine, beating the Jawbone.

Weaknesses: the ear clip is entirely too large for any normal size ear
Summary: the earpeice is very clear and I am told there is not a lot of background noise by people I call. I use this product on two phones so that is a real plus

Strengths: Generally very comfortable, and MOST important I can use it with two phones at the same time.
Weaknesses: Charger doesn't connect well enough to charge consistently/fully w/o putting a weight on it. This seems common with Plantronics stuff.
Summary: Fair overall, but a must for the two phone capability.

Strengths: Battery life is great, easy to pair and operate, very good sound quality for both persons in call.
Weaknesses: Sensitive to distance from phone - more than a few feet causes static / drop in quality.
Summary: Overall, I like this headset. It functions very well for everything I need, provided I keep my phone close. The noise cancelling makes for great call clarity. It is reasonably comfortable to wear. My ear still needs a short break after a few hours.

Strengths: great sound. I like the ear-piece sitting inside the ear itself.
Weaknesses: picks up a little background noise.
Summary: I wanted a bluetooth headset that was still small but that I did not have to press against my ear for quality sound. I have had various Motorola products and hated them because I needed to press them against my ear to hear the person on the other line. I now have to turn down the volume.

Strengths: It's the best headset I've ever had! No issues with comfort, in-going or outgoing sound is perfect! Connectivity with my razr version 3 is stable! I think that the ear bud is comfortable and I've worn it for hours at a time with no abrasion. My wife also wears one and often forgets it's there!
Summary: Nothing fancy, still requires an ear hook. But the sound and quality of the best!

Strengths: Sound quality is excellent. After a few minutes, Ihardly notice it is even there.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Great sound quality, fairly comfortable fit. Hearing others is never a problem, and I've been told that people can hear me better when I use this headset than when I am talking directly on the phone. Very happy with the purchase and buying my wife the same model.

Strengths: cost,convienent,michrophone
Weaknesses: Volume,comfort,charger
Summary: I have been using the 520 for about a month now and overall find it very nice.The things I would like to see improved are the volume,I have it set to next to full volume all the time,the charger,which seems to work fine but has a tendency to want to pull out of the unit as it does not make a very solid connection,and comfort,as it is reasonable but after it is on for awhile starts to bother my ear slightly. Also the range,while it can go quite a distance does not take kindly to any obstructions and starts to crackle early on. If used with phone at your side works perfectly. Some of this could actually be my phone and not the 520 however it is a brand new up to date phone also.I have had very few complaints about the michrophone or clarity,and then only in extreme conditions. It is a very large improvment over the corded headset I was using.

Strengths: light, comfortable, connects to multiple devices simultaneously
Weaknesses: battery life seems weaker than stated
Summary: I've been pleased with the headset, my third Bluetooth headset in the last year. It is quite durable (I've already dropped it on concrete and into the water, neither having caused any problems yet). The style is not bad - conservative but not bland. A good unit.

Strengths: Sound clarity, signal strength
Weaknesses: None
Summary: The Plantronics Voyager 520 Bluetooth headset produces an excellent quality sound. Contacts that I have spoken to using the headset cannot discern any difference in my voice than when I speak to them directly through the phone. Connecting to the phone was simple.

Strengths: clarity, comfortable, lightweight
Weaknesses: only one size silicon tip
Summary: I've owned 2 Motorola bluetooth earpieces, and 1 Sony Ericsson. I almost gave up on bluetooth, but I decided to give the 520 a chance. It works fantastically! Don't regret buying it. I can hear clearly, and parties on the other end can hear me clearly. I highly recommend it.

Strengths: Clear reception
Weaknesses: None found so far.
Summary: Never having experienced Bluetooth before, I was very impressed with the simplicity and clarity of use of the Voyager 520 headset. The instructions are simple, clear, easy to follow and remember. It's weight is so light that I can ignore it for hours. The length of use of the battery charge is very impressive. The price/performance ratio is excellent.
