Review: Works great. Terrific bargain. Better than advertised, But.... - The product description states in the first bullet point, "... The product ships with all relevant accessories, a minimum 90-day warranty & may arrive in a generic white or brown box...." It did not ship with all relevant accessories as described/illustrated in the manual. A screen shot of the accessory section of the manual is included. The package included only one ear hook, one ear gel, the charging strap and the device. The description is misleading or my item was packaged incorrectly. But, the product works better than I expected, sounds great, is very light and comfortable and has a great battery life.
Review: I love this exact model, and I'm NEVER without it, everywhere I go. - This review is real, I love this exact model, I'm NEVER without it, everywhere I go, because I NEVER hold my phone to my head or in the crook of my neck. I highly recommend it! I've been using this exact one for years, and ALL the time. They last forever, I love it, and I always have at least 2 so one can charge, It has rapid recharge to the full 7 hours in about 20 minutes. The buttons allow you to answer, hang up, adjust volume, mute, pause, etc. I use it for ALL phone conversations, and frequent listening to audible material. It doesn't even need the over-ear hook that comes with it. The clever shaped rubber tips keep it in my ear just fine, for quick insertion and removal. I forget it's even in my ear. When not in use, I make a point to keep it consistently in the same places, so I don't misplace and lose it, usually my purse pocket. The one thing that is slightly bothersome is the top has a thin rubbery layer, and after months of use can begin to peel off. I've ruined 2 devices with superglue. I've now discovered that I simply need to just use more caution to avoid the clicker area. Noise cancellation is great, except if I'm loudly (un)loading the dishwasher, people say they can hear the clanking, but I don't think complete noise cancellation is possible with any brand. Buy it, you'll love it. I have found many discounted ways to purchase them. Right now I am trying 2 refurbished ones and am pleased with the quality. Plantronic brand does not disappoint.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product, if you can get it to charge
*by K***R on January 4, 2019*

I enjoy using this product. It works well. It is very comfortable and I could see me wearing it all day. It stays in the ear well and does not seal the ear, so you can still hear through that ear. However, the magnetic charge cable that comes with it will not charge the unit enough. It will partial charge it. I have 2 of these cables and it's the same with both. I plugged in a phone charger and it seems to be charging right now. Time will tell whether or not it reaches the full 7 hours talk time.
