 Won't turn on after using only a few timesApr 08, 2010
By Lisa B. Heckman
"Eph Zero"
This worked just long enough for me to throw away the receipt and the packaging. Now it will not turn on at all. The red light comes on for a couple of minutes when I try to charge it, but it won't do anything else. A quick search online shows that I'm not the only one having this problem.

 Ok for a value bluetooth but only at a good sale priceMar 05, 2010

"Quality Reveals Itself"
Purchased the 230 model for $30 and at first it seemed fine. In testing this device I didn't go by subjective opinion such as asking the other person on the other call if they can hear me ok. That type of comment is useless. So....I am currently trying a note taking service called Jott Notes which you call by phone, it records your voice and converts it to text. (I love it) however with this bluetooth I noticed it didn't always capture and transcribe everything I spoke, sometimes it even didn't recognize my voice at all. Sure enough, I then tested the Motorola H620 and found out the sound quality coming through the mic was much better. It was louder and clearer such that any notes I sent to Jott service was captured entirely and translated into text. The 230 worked if I spoke louder, clearly and more slowly. I used the same conditions, same words when dictating using both bluetooth devices and the motorola was definitely louder and more accurate. If your looking to spend $30 I definitely recommend spending $4 to $8 more and buying either the Motorola h560, h620, h680 models. I'm assuming they are similar to the H620 I purchased.
On the plus side the Explorer 230 did fit well in my ear although even at max volume I can see times when it would be hard to hear. I like the 8 hour talk time with the voyager 230 but overall it just doesn't compete with the motorola. If you can find one for $15 and call volume (sending and hearing) is not super important to you then might work for you fine. Amazon... thanks for helping me make a good purchase via comments from others. cheers.

 Great headset for the moneyFeb 25, 2010
By Sandman
I really like this little headset. I have been using Plantronics for years and won't use anything else. The rubber earpiece on my old Explorer 330 headset just fell apart after several years of use and I decided I wanted to buy a new Plantronics, but one with a simpler, less pointy shape.
Now, I am not one for spending a lot of money on a headset or to try to make a fashion statement with one. I wanted something cheap and durable and I didn't want a headset that looked like it came from Mars or off the head of a Borg. The Explorer 233 fills my needs perfectly. Small, simple, functional, inexpensive. While this one does have a seperate volume control button, all other functions, such as on/off, voice dialing, last number redial, etc., are easily handled by the main control button. I bought mine at a warehouse store and paid only $29.99 for it, and it came packaged with a car charger to boot.
Functionally, it's quite intuitive. The small, thin earloop is comfortable, and the sound has been quite good, both on my end and at the receiving end too. I mostly use my headset while I'm driving, so I'm not one who wears it 24/7. For the money, I've been completely satisfied with its performance.

A great ProductMay 04, 2011
By clisais
I had never wanted to buy anything on line, but I really needed a bluetooth. I had a great experience with Amazon and will definitly buy from them again. My purchase came in a timely matter with no issues, and the product works great.
