Plantronics Voyager Legend UC Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging - Black

This has turned out to be an amazing headset! And a welcome relief from the Plantronics Explorer 395 I was using. It pairs beautifully and effortlessly with my HTC One M8, as it did also with the Samsung Galaxy 2 I had previously. The call quality is gorgeous! I've had several people comment on it. The noise cancelling works amazingly well! I have eaten a meal while on a call, and the person on the other end said they couldn't hear any of the noises, even with the mic inches from my mouth! I've used it while driving in my very old, very noisy (busted muffler) car, and received listener feedback that there was no effect on the call quality/listener being able to hear my conversation. I haven't been outside with it yet, so I can't speak to wind noise cancelling.Years ago I had the old Voyager Pro, so I already knew the comfort of this configuration - and wasn't disappointed! I forget I'm wearing it most of the time. As some people have mentioned, it can take a bit of effort to get the earpiece to sit in the ear canal snugly, but once you maneuver it in place, it stays put with comfort.Once I learned the new placement for buttons vs my old headset, the Legend is very easy to use, and intuitive. I love the ease with which I can mute myself, and change the incoming audio volume quickly. And one thing that I anticipated was more of a gimmick than anything, I have discovered I appreciate more than I realized I would: the voice activated call answering feature. It can be a bit annoying to hear "answer or ignore? answer or ignore?" in your head as the phone "rings", but I *barely* have to say, "answer" and the call is answered amazingly quickly! Makes it very nice for answering a call while I'm finishing up documenting a previous call.The Legend works wonderfully for Skype calls on my HP laptop (after some tweaking of audio settings both for the computer and for Skype). You have to fiddle around with the settings, to make sure you're using the headset mic and audio, but once you figure it out, it gives great sound. My boyfriend said when I switched from the laptop mic to the Legend on our Skype calls, it sounded like I was sitting in the room with him! :) I did have trouble trying to get the Legend paired to my wired desktop - sound was much poorer than with my Logitech webcam. I'm not sure why the difference in quality, but my PC is older and I'm still using XP, so these might contribute to poor audio quality when attempting to VOiP on the PC.I haven't used this headset much to listen to music or audio files, but the time I did, it worked fine - for a monaural device.I can get a good 4-5 hours straight talk time out of it on Skype calls before it tells me I'm getting low, and completed a busy, non-stop phone calls 5 hr shift with 2 hrs charge still left on the phone; it's also a very quick recharge. I haven't tested the stand-by time since I either put it on the desk stand or in the case when not in use.The case works amazingly well (and quickly for recharging), and I love the space for the Blu tooth dongle/adapter. I'm going to really appreciate this case when I do some air travel here soon. Since I bought this particular package, I'm feeling overwhelmed with recharging possibilities: the weighted desk charger (which I've really come to appreciate! soo easy to just grab and go), the case with charging station (and USB plugging capacity), the original little recharging piece (which I will probably never use), the USB/micro USB cable, and plug in unit. This means I have 3 different ways I can charge this headset, either wall plugged or USB plugge. A lot of bang for my buck with this one. :)Update 11/19/2017: After 3+ yrs now of continuous use (8+ hrs or more every day), this headset is just now beginning to not fully charge (5 hrs talk time vs 6 hrs), and starting to drop calls after about 5 hrs of use. I'm getting ready to upgrade to the new Voyager 5200, but this package was an excellent investment and I will still get use out of it as a backup.

For the price, the Plantronics Voyager Legend UC was the perfect upgrade to my old voyager I purchased back in 2006. The call quality is actually very good compared to my old headset and the functionality is amazing.Here's a recap of why I like it:-Stylish and sleek.-Accessories in itself are worth it. The desk holder really displays the headset well and allows easy access for calls. The case actually acts as a battery pack! These accessories, especially the case, provides my mobile lifestyle with even more mobility. A mobile bluetooth headset with a mobile case?? Mobility x 2.-Battery life is very good.-UC functionality is important for my seamless integration between my iphone and my computer.-The voice-over is amazing. It is clear and concise and tells you battery life/talk time remaining, who's calling, full Siri integration, and more!-Price: Originally i thought the headset was expensive but it really has paid for itself in the functionality it has provided me in my mobile life style.-Business: It looks professional and is comfortable. I was able to help run a business with this piece while multitasking doing other things.Cons:-The price could be a con but if you get the accessories (this amazon item does), then it is more than worth it.-The headset fits well but is a little loose. I am not a large person so this piece sometimes gets loose when i do a lot of moving around. This isn't a deal breaker since I just have to make sure i'm not running on the treadmill when using this headset.Overall:Well worth the price for the headset and accessories. Bought another one since i liked it so much and wanted someone else to also enjoy it. The seamless integration with my phone and computer is something that I value greatly with this product. The call quality is great but can never be as good as the actual built-in microphone of the phone; however, it is very good for being bluetooth. Connectivity is always there and have never had a problem. If you are in the market for a professional bluetooth headset and the efficiency of a high quality company and product, this headset is definitely worth the investment. The customer support is also amazing and is more than willing to help with any problems or concerns you may have. I have my trust in Plantronics and have even purchased headsets from them for my business. Great company, great products, great lifestyle.

This headset was a nightmare. First, it can only be paired with two Bluetooth devices at a time. I needed it to pair with three. Second, the feature I really wanted it for was being able to switch from using it on my computer to using it with my phone in a split second. The video and descriptions all say this is instantaneously done. Wrong. There was so much lag between switching from my Mac to my iPhone that I missed every single call. And when a call did come in, it nearly blew my eardrum out...which is a common complaint with this headset. There is no way to decrease the incoming ringer volume. You can have your phone ringer volume all the way down and this will still ring full volume in your ear. I read reviews that this headset was great for Dragon Dictation. No...no it's not. Accuracy was reduced to about 30%. If all of those issues weren't enough, it constantly unpaired from my phone or computer and it was a nightmare to get it to recognize the devices again. After a week of trying to make it work, talking to tech support, researching forums, etc...I decided it was far too much trouble than it was worth and returned it.
