Summary: Industrially Dumb Design
Comment: Plantronics was good enough to send me a new pair of these, after I complained about the earbud and clip falling off at inopportune moments (are there any that aren't inopportune?) But the new pair had the same design flaw: the earbud connects to the headset by way of some flimsy plastic nubs - or perhaps they're better described as nublets. Once the bud is positioned inside the headset socket, it must be turned an 1/8th turn to 'lock' into place. The trouble is, the thing never really locks in, and over time it just defaults to the neutral (unlocked) position. So fairly frequently the earbud pops out of the headset socket and flies off somewhere. The over-ear clip flies off too, though not usually as far. It's just a poor design choice to have a crucial mechanism hanging on by such a tiny thread. Nevertheless, if you can keep the 665 in your ear long enough to make a phone call, it sounds pretty good.

Summary: Disappointing Plantronics Discovery 665 headset
Comment: I have had 3 of these units. The first a lost because it was so light that I did not realize it had fallen off of my ear. By the time it was found, weather conditions had destroyed it. The second was my fault that it was destroyed. I did like the product enough that I purchased a third one. I had it about six weeks when the ear gel piece fell out and would not stay snapped in. I replaced that one and my ear became so sensitive that it was extremely painful to insert or remove it, and within about six weeks that ear gel unit fell out of the body. Because of the apparent allergenic nature of the ear gels and the fact that they tend to fall out of the main body of the unit I have opted for a different product.

Summary: Don't Even Waste Your Time
Comment: Don't even think about buying this product; there is a huge design flaw that severely outshadows any of the positives. The gel ear buds do not stay on the headset. To put them on and take them off, you put the bud in the "neutral" position then push it on and then twist it to the right or left, depending upon which ear you prefer. The problem is that the bud keeps rotating back to neutral and then falls right off. I complained to the Plantronics company and they told me where I could purchase replacement parts! I told them I wasn't paying for replacement parts for a product that was very poorly designed in the first place. This headset has been returned but I just wanted to warn everone who had read the excellent reviews about the product to not even consider this one.

Summary: Did not arrive with all the parts described
Comment: I ordered this product going on the "product description" that says it has a vehicle charger, customizable ear gels, and optional ear loop. None of those three things arrived with the headset. I simply received the headset, wall charger, and usb charger. Other sellers are apparently selling it with ALL the pieces, but "Abacus 24-7" apparently is not.

Summary: 665 Discovery bluetooth
Comment: This little earpiece is amazing. The sound quality is very impressive. Teh fit in the ear canal helps block out so much sound that it can actually be difficult to hear someone if you are NOT using the phone!

It weighs next to nothing and the sound quality on theother end, I'm told, is as good as if I wasn't using my headset at all.

Very affordable, very comfortable, great sound quality. The only downside is the batter life is short. Make sure you have your charger with you - it doesnt' take long to recharge it, but you will have to charge it more often than you expect.
