Summary: Voyager 510 Review
Comment: This will be my second Voyager 510 and it is my second one because the 1st one was so good that i will not use anything else. I've tried 3 different versions of Jabra and they were OK but not as good as Plantronics, not to mention Plantronics is less expensive. So if you are looking to try something new I am sure you will be very pleased with the purchase of this unit. Oh, by the way, this transaction was flawless, too!

Summary: Happy with this purchase
Comment: I read the reviews, noted the comments about the location of power/volume controls, and bought the Voyager 510 anyway. Everyone who criticized the design is correct. However, that flaw is not insurmountable. I've learned how to use the controls and now do not terminate calls accidentally. I like this product very much. It's comfortable to wear, easy to set up, and was an excellent solution to my handsfree needs.

Summary: Great after over 3 years of (ab)use
Comment: This little ugly-ish set is still ruling the market with great sound quality for both its owners and people they talk to. I have owned or tested several supposedly great Bluetooth sets with several different phones and devices including iPhone 3G, Motorola Razr and L6, Blackberry 7100i, two different laptops (Skype) and Playstation 3, and no other headset performed as well as Plantronics Voyager 510.
In parallel with this device I had three different Jabras including BT250, BT500 and JX10 and neither one comes close to the sound quality and wind tolerance of Voyager 510. I also learned of a number of users including my boss who switched from Jawbone 1 AND 2 to this or Discovery 925 set due to fit, comfort and sound issues, so I never even bothered to buy a Jawbone. With Plantronics Voyager 510, people I talk to can't even tell I'm using a Bluetooth headset; not even when I'm driving, which I find amazing. Since it's been over four years in my never ending quest for the perfect Bluetooth headset that I constantly keep researching and reverting to this little "mule", I just have to give it five stars in spite of its mainly cosmetic flaws.
Here's why I got to appreciate this somewhat clumsy set so much:
1. Good output volume and quality. When I'm using Plantronics Voyager 510, people I'm talking to can't tell I'm on a cell phone with a Bluetooth headset - not even when I'm driving (windows closed). The case was the opposite when I was using Jabras, when I used to hear complaints about noise, static and low volume of my voice.
2. Good and controllable earphone volume. It can reasonably well deal with traffic noise when I'm walking outside my downtown Chicago office. I can set the volume really loud, so the only case when I cannot hear my partner is when I'm walking too close to a moving train. My usual volume setting is around 1/3.
3. This set's microphone tolerates wind better than the Jabras mentioned above which used to produce a great deal of wind noise whenever I was encountering a breeze. In addition, if I know I'll be outside in a windy environment I can put the included microphone sponge on.
4. Good battery life. I don't have to charge it often.
5. Although it seems very light and gentle in my hands, it handles everyday folding and switching between my shirt pocket and both my ears very well.
6. No problems with long usage, unlike Jabra BT250, which used to irritate the skin on the back of my ear if I used it too long or too often.
I never heard about Plantronics before buying this headset and I grew to appreciate it a lot more after years of usage. Only recently I discovered that Plantronics has a long history with headsets and that even the Apollo missions used their headsets on the Moon. Makes sense. "One small set for man, one giant leap away from other BT headsets. Houston, we have no problem".
