  • Amazon.com Product Description
    For the ultimate in wireless freedom, look no further than the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset, which represents a generational leap in Bluetooth headset technology. It's comfortable and light enough for all day wear, and it offers unprecedented clarity and sound quality. These are great features, but the real revolution involves Plantronics' exclusive Multipoint technology, which allows the headset to function as a powerful communication solution for up to two Bluetooth devices.

    With Multipoint technology you can switch between your voice-enabled Bluetooth mobile phone, PDA or laptop. The headset's "smart" technology knows which device you are using and allows you to take calls from any device at the touch of a button. With the optional Plantronics Bluetooth Deskphone Adapter you can even switch between your office phone and your Bluetooth mobile phone. You'll never need to use a dedicated "landline" phone headset again.

    The 510 features WindSmart technology, which enhances call clarity in windy environments (i.e., car with window/roof open, air conditioning on, outside with breeze), and it folds for easy storage. The boom also swivels for perfect positioning on either ear. One-touch call control buttons are placed for easy access, and you can easily redial the last number dialed and initiate voice-activated calls from the headset. Because the 510 is Bluetooth-enabled (it supports the Bluetooth 1.2 specification) you can roam up to 33 feet from your Bluetooth device. Meanwhile, the 510 supports adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) which helps avoid interference from Wi-Fi networks. Ample talk time is provided by the built-in rechargeable battery; you'll get up to 6 hours talk time and up to 100 hours of standby time.

  • 4 Years
    Had this headset since 2006. It is still working except battery won't last any more. So great run for 4 years.

  • excellent product
    I've become a fan of most plantronics products over the years. Never been disseminated and this blue tooth headpiece is no exception. Comfortable to wear, even for long periods, has good sound and very easy to connect to phone. My one complaint is that it does not come with the small ear piece inserts, (which is the reason I only gave it 4 stars). I had some ear pieces from another plantronic product, so I was fine, but if you don't happen to have a compatible unit, then you have to buy those separately -- which is kind of stupid. Just factor that into the price, I think they are $5.00 for a variety pack on Amazon. I also had to order a car charger separate, (it comes with an AC charger, but not one for the car), which was another $20.00. (oh you wanted a steering wheel with your car)?

    Anyway, once you get all the needed accessories, it is a very good quality and functional unit. Highly recommended. I've had many blue tooth head sets over recent years and this is the best one, by far.
  • Good sound but takes forever to connect
    I use this bluetooth with my old Palm Treo. The sound quality is good both on my end and on the listener's end. I have never successfully figured out how to use the buttons on the bluetooth but that could just be me. I did want to warn people that it takes a really long time for the call to switch to the bluetooth, and frequently by the time it beeps and switches over, the person on the other end is saying, "hello? hello? are you there?" It's the only bluetooth I've used so I'm not sure if it's normal, but it's a bit annoying and not so professional.
  • Voyager 510
    This is bad real bad the back ground noise is awfull static wind I do not recommend.And i am returning it for a refund.
  • Good features, but not sturdy
    So, my handy PL 510 is dying and I'm considering whether to get another.
    This thing has been on life support for months, after my toddler pulled it apart and chewed on the wires.
    "Not durable?" you say, "it wasn't designed as a teething toy!". True, but it had been falling apart even before that, with the rubber outer covering chipping and ripping away. No abuse (other than the toddler), just day-to-day use.

    Great: battery life rocks. Good sound quality most times.
    Meh: Dang flashy blue light makes me look like a geek. Proprietary charger won't stay plugged in (have to set it just right and walk away slowly).
