(5 out of 5)OMG! This is awesome!
I must say that I could not believe all the 5 star ratings till I got my own Plantronics 510. This simply must be the best on the market and here are my reasons as compared to the Motorola HS820 and the New Jawbone 2:
1. Quality: The sound is exceptionally crisp and clear. My best critic is my wife so I used her as my final deal breaker decision maker. I called her and she could not believe the clarity. She said it was clearer than the Motorola phone or the other headsets (more on that).
2. Sound cancellation: I tested this set outside, in a quiet space and in a room with the television on a high volume. The sound cancellation is simply one of the best. When the tv volume was at its highest (really loud) and standing 2 feet away it was coming across as a background sound and was more than acceptable.
3. Distance: I placed the phone in the center of my 1st. floor house and walked around testing the reception from a distance. It was clear from over 30 feet away and through walls. I knew when I needed to get back into range when it had a bit of static.
4. Comfort: I can wear this unit ALL day with no discomfort. It is lighter than it looks and the foam earpieces fit well and are soft.
5. Durability: This unit can withstand my dropping it and simply putting it in my pocket. Nothing dainty here.
6. Price: Jawbone 2: $135; Plantronics 510: $45.99 with free shipping. And it arrived in 3 days!!!
7. Technology: Tested and true.
Regrets: That I could not give it 10 stars!
This unit is a keeper and well worth the price.

(5 out of 5)Great Headset
I have had the Plantronics 510 for about a year and it has performed perfectly. It is very comfortable. I leave it in my ear while driving and working in the garage. It is very stable. Sound quality is excellent. If I were to lose this one, I would buy another without hesitation.
The only negative is that you don't know how much battery life you have left. The device will give you an audio intermitant beep and a flashing red indicator light when the battery needs recharging. This works fine, but I would rather have an indicator that I can view at any time verses waiting for the device to tell me when it is low. Not sure anyone offers that.
(5 out of 5)Wonderful Headset - A Real Work Horse
The Plantronics Voyager 510 has been an absolute work horse for me for the past nearly 2 years. When I say workhorse I mean it. I put over 5 hours of talk time on this device 5 days a week for well over a year. I used it in a weekly 4 hour commute, during the day in the office, at night to talk to my family from the hotel and a number of other usages. I know this device and using it is as familiar as turning on my blinker in the car.
The Good:
1. Great noise filtering. The microphone does a great job of filtering out ambient noise including wind.
2. The battery is excellent and lasts for days on standby and for at least 6 hours talking.
3. Multipoint Technology. This technology rocks. I have both my work (Blackberry) and personal cell phone synched with this device at the same time and can call or answer either without pairing hassles.
4. Pairs with a device that it has been setup with by simply pressing the primary button.
5. Volume buttons on earpiece.
6. Comes with multiple earpieces for comfort.
7. Stable in the ear. It doesn't feel as if it will fall out.
8. Durable. I used this hard for a few years and it has only now started to fall apart. Still works though.
9. Shares common power supply with many other Plantronics devices for ease of power sharing.
10. Larger then competitors but very light.
The Not so Good:
1. It is bigger then most other devices.
2. The earpieces are prone to fall out and don't stay secured after about 6 months.
As you can see I really don't have much bad to say about this device. I am only now replacing it after 2 years of use and that is because the earpiece fell out and I can't find the pack that came with it. It still works! I replaced this unit with the Plantronics Discovery 925 and I might like that even better. For the money though you cannot beat the Voyager 510 in my opinion. 5 stars!
(5 out of 5)Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset
This product was easy to set up and operate in conjunction with my Samsung T509 cell phone.
(5 out of 5)Best Headset I have ever used
I ordered the headset for my motorola mobile and it works exceptionally well. The voice is very clear and volume is great and people didn't realise i was using the headset because it was so clear..... it fits just right on the ear. The supplier (SF Planet) sent the item on the day of order and for that I give them a 5+...... Good Price for great performance.
