Summary: Very good
Comment: the device has been received in a very good condition, and it works perfectly just as I expected.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Yet
Comment: I have owned a Plantronics Voyager 510 for a year and a half now and it is still functioning well. Has had some rough use and abuse and it has held up fine. Really like the fit on the ear and it is quite comfortable.
This unit replaced two other brands that had echo, electronic noise and other issues. Happily it has none of the these. Only issue has been that it occassionally will uncouple from my phone (LG VX8300) for no apparent reason. Doesn't happen during a call, just when on standby.
Despite the periodic annoyance with the above, I really like this headset and highly recommend it.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: excellent sound
Comment: I got this and a Motorola headset for my wife at the same time. Sure, it looks kinda dorky but the sound quality is excellent - no wind noise! People find it easier to hear me on the headset than without it. Its a little tricky to tell if it is charging - the connection can be a bit wobbly. Otherwise I'd give it a full 5 stars.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wrong in so many ways...
Comment: I had really high expectations for this headset, given its 4.5 star rating. What I didn't expect was the following:
1) It doesn't fit. I have completely normal ears, but the speaker nub doesn't line up with my ear canal, and there's no way to adjust it. Look at the shape of the headset. It sits over the top of your ear and the rest of it just hangs from there. This does a poor job of keeping things aligned.
2) It interferes with my glasses. I can comfortably wear glasses with other headsets shaped like the Motorola HS850 or the Jawbone, but not this one.
3) The controls on this one don't work well. They're way more complicated than "older" models and actually make their use less reliable. For one, the bluetooth signal doesn't bond automatically like my HS850. It doesn't make a clear sound when it links up. And, if you press the side button for too short a time, you'll redial the last number instead of activating voice dialing.
4) Battery life is shamefully short for something that should be able to function at lower volume, due to the supposed proximity of the speaker to the ear canal.
5) It doesn't use a standard charger type. One of the nicest things about some of the headsets you can get is they use the same charger as your phone. This one does not.
At the end of the day, I've found this headset to be both frustrating and completely unusable because of its shape and the inability to adjust it. Other headsets solve this problem by making the entire speaker rest over the ear canal without trying to get right into it.
For you, if you want to take a gamble and hope this headset will fit you, by all means give it a go. If this is your first headset, I would advise getting your feet wet with something a little less expensive and a little easier to use first. I've had good luck with the Motorola HS850, which is now only $24.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good sound, comfortable and easy on your wallet!
Comment: The headset works very well. The noise reduction is not that great, the Jawbone is better at it. However, the overall sound quality both ways is better and the fit is more comfortable than the Jawbone. It is light and seems large at first but is very easy to fold up and is quite sturdy. Especially for the price, this is a great choice!

The lightweight and versatile Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset delivers all-day wearing comfort, clearer voice transmission and superior sound quality. With exclusive Multipoint Technology, your headset seamlessly transforms into a powerful communication solution for up to two Bluetooth devices. For the ultimate in wireless freedom, look no further than the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset, which represents a generational leap in Bluetooth headset technology. The 510 is comfortable and light enough for all day wear, and it offers unprecedented clarity and sound quality. With Multipoint technology you can switch between your voice-enabled Bluetooth mobile phone, PDA or laptop. The headset's smart technology knows which device you are using and allows you to take calls from any device at the touch of a button. The 510 features a noise-canceling microphone for clearer conversations, and it folds for easy storage. The boom also swivels for perfect positioning on either ear. One-touch call control buttons are placed for easy access, and you can easily redial the last number dialed and initiate voice-activated calls from the headset. Because the 510 is Bluetooth 1.2 specification enabled, you can roam up to 33 feet from your Bluetooth device. Meanwhile, the 510 supports adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) which helps avoid interference from wi-fi networks. Ample talk time is provided by the built-in rechargeable battery.
