I searched and searched for a Bluetooth headset that had louder volume output. Bought into the hype of the Jawbone, but ditched it after a week. Tried a Motorola, no dice. Went through a Jabra in-ear and a different Plantronics model, and still could not adequately hear the caller on the other end.

As a daily commuter on the Bay Area freeways, I need to have a loud, reliable Bluetooth headset to make calls while in the car. I read reviews of the Plantronics Voyager 510 and was again skeptical of the claims that it was the loudest headset on the market, like all the others. I was able to get one on the cheap, so I figured I'd give one more headset a try.

WOW. For the first time ever, I do not need to crank the volume up to max on the headset! I can hear over the freeway noise. The mic filters out the noise as well, so the caller on the other end isn't bombarded by the freeway either.

The only downside is that the headset is big and ugly. It fully wraps around the ear, and it boasts a...

jmonwood says "Very easy to use!" about Plantronics - Voyager 510

I received this headset from my son last Mother's Day and it has been reliable, easy to use and a great help, particularly when I am on the road. I had absolutely no trouble synching it up with my cell phone and it has worked very reliably every single time I use it. It is lightweight, fits my ear very well and seems to have a great battery life. I use it regularly and it seems to hold a charge for quite a long time. I like the small size--if i want to take it off and drop it in a jacket or slacks pocket, it is so small it is undetectable. I wondered how well it would work, being so small and away from my mouth but it has never caused a problem. With the small size, I also find my hair covers it and it isn't so obvious--I don't look like the old time telephone operator! The buttons are a little small, fine for me but I don't know if a man with large fingers would have difficulty working some of the features.

TheBard says "Thank You Plantronics for an Outstanding Bluetooth Headset" about Plantronics - Voyager 510

Bottom-Line: The Voyager 510's fold-up microphone design cleverly combines compactness with functionality for a novel, well-engineered and well-implemented package.

Question: what is a Bluetooth enabled smart-phone or two without a great Bluetooth headset to accompany it or them? Incomplete, I'd say, and lonely. After receiving my new Bluetooth enabled Motorola Moto Q 9h I went searching for the perfect Bluetooth headset to complement it and my existing BlackBerry 8830 World phone. Since I carry both phones at the same time, I needed a Bluetooth headset that could connect to two phones at once. Enter the Plantronics Voyager 510.

The Voyager 510 is an unusually shaped headset. But, the small microphone/headset weighs less then 3 oz's, and is so light I often forget it is attached to my ear even after hours of wearing it. The form-fitting ear-clip is fashioned with a soft rubber coating that makes it easy to slip the Voyager 510 over either ear even with glasses on. The...
