Plantronics has long been my go-to Bluetooth headset brand for call quality, although its designs range from dull to aggressively corporate.

Plantronics has long been my go-to Bluetooth headset brand for call quality, although its designs range from dull to aggressively corporate. The company's mid-priced Explorer 500 headset ($59.99) fits in with that heritage: It sounds good, works well, and has a lot of fit options, but few would call it pretty. It can't match our Editors' Choice, the Plantronics Voyager 5200, in terms of range or call quality, but if you're looking for a solid, no-frills headset, it definitely hits the mark. Design and Battery LifeThe Explorer 500 is a two-inch long black stub with an eargel and a micro USB charging port on the back end. Half of the outer face is ridged and becomes a Call button, and there's a physical power switch and volume buttons on the top and bottom. It's nowhere near as pretty as the Jabra Eclipse, but it's far more functional, as the tactile buttons are very easy to use. The headset comes with one gel eartip, an optional earhook, and a strap that plugs into the USB port a...
The $60 Plantronics Explorer 500 sets the benchmark for affordable, no-frills Bluetooth headsets.

Nice product and lives upto everything that was in the description
The headset work as advertised! The strap though leaves much too be desired. I purchased mine back in 3/2017. The strap refuses to charge my headset. It is not covered under warranty. Fortunately for me I found an old USB cable lying around that fit the earpiece.
If you're a fan of larger smartphones such as the 5.7 in. Samsung Galaxy Note or the 5.6-in. iPhone 6 Plus , you may be in the market for a Bluetooth headset. These larger phones are incredibly useful, but can be (depending on your sense of proportion) a little large to hold against your face.
Good voice quality; comfortable fit; innovative charging/storage strap; easily accessible volume and call controls; inexpensive
Single ear tip may not suit all users
Not too long ago, we took a look at the Plantronics Voyager Edge UC and Plantronics Blackwire C725. While the Blackwire C725 was terrific for use with a computer and the Voyager Edge UC is great for switching frequently between a smartphone and computer for communications, both are priced at the...
Affordable; small discrete design; super comfortable fit; USB charging cable is cleverly designed; very good HD audio and call quality
Would like for the audio volume to be able to get a bit louder

Rather than making the costly investment, they might be more inclined to pick up something that’s more forgiving on the pockets – without making too many compromises in the specs and features departments.

It's hard to get too excited over a mono Bluetooth headset, but Plantronics new Explorer 500, which replaces the company's midlevel Marque 2, has some compelling attributes that make it worth paying attention to.
Replacing the Marque 2, this $60 Bluetooth headset offers dual microphones with "noise-canceling DSP and GSMA-certified HD Voice," and a unique USB charging strap.
