Editor's Comment:

The good news:The Plantronics Voyager 520 Bluetooth headset is light weight, comfortable, and an all-round sound performer.

Consider also:The Voyager 520 is a quality headset at a value price-point. It is not as good at suppressing background noise and wind noise as some higher priced alternatives. Other headsets may beat the performance in this or that department, BUT the overwhelming majority of users are delighted with the polished overall performance.

The bottom line:If you're looking for a good all around Bluetooth headset for less than fifty bucks, the 520 is a sensible choice.

Bluetooth

I had the same one before and my dog chewed it up and i loved it so i HAD to get another one its clear i also use it for PS3 headset so its well worth it

This is a Christmas present, hopefully the person will like it. I buy last year and had no problem, I will purchase from you again.

Performance

I love the ease of use. I get great reception. My dog go a hold of my first one and chewed it up. I had to buy another one. My only complaint is the earpiece. It should come with different size earpieces so you can better fit it in your ear. I have to sometimes push the device into my ear and hold it so I can hear better.

Blue Tooth headset

So far we are very pleased. This item is a Christmas gift so we won't know whether it's just right or not, but it was a request from our daughter. We are very pleased with how quickly the item arrived. Also, the communication/updates were helpful. We can offer an excellent rating for service, that's for sure! Thank You!

The main issue is that in a windy condition, the person listening may have difficulty. Occasionally I will loose signal on the blue tooth even when the phone is close. I am very pleased with your service.

Works great!!

I purchased two of these headsets for family members, based on the fact that I've had mine for about 6mths & really liked it. Works great & the price was fantastic!

My humble opinion

I love the headset: the sound quality, the way it connects Bluetooth effortlessly, the fact that I don't have to use an ear loop over my ear. The only problem I have is that, for some reason, none of the ear gel ear-tips fit! The smallest one is a bit too large for my ear, and my ears are normal size, I believe. With all the great technology and styling effort your engineers put into this product, one would think that you wouldn't scrimp on having a few more options with the ear tips. One size smaller would work perfectly for me. I would buy this product again, but would not recommend it to my friends until you came out with 4 or 5 different sized gel ear tips.

Great device

I bought this headset for my father and had a chance to use is for a few days. The button is easy to operate and it emits a different sound on powering on and powering off, which is easier for my father. The only downside is the sound is a little low in a windy situation or in the car with the window down, but it is really comfortable and is a great quality/price deal.

Voyager 520

I do background investigations for security clearances. With all the driving I need a hands-free phone so I can keep my eyes on the road. The Plantronics Voyager 520 Bluetooth headset is perfect for me. With the car charger, I can always recharge it when needed without having to leave the car.

Light and easy!

The 520 is light on the ear and very easy to operate. The call button is easily found, and the sound quality is very good. A very reliable setup. I lost my first 520 and actually did buy it again!

The Voyager 520 is very good, in spite of sounding a little "tinny," but it works well and is comfortable.

Voyager 520 Headset

The one thing that I don't like about the product is that the sound can only be turned up to a low level of amplification for me. I had an in-ear Samsung which was very good, but got lost easily due to it's size. The 520 is light and easy on the ear, but road noise and other external noise seems to be disruptive. My hearing is not the best either.

The Plantronics Voyager 520 is very good, and Headsets.com Customer Service is outstanding. I had questions about dual pairing and voice dialing that were answered quickly and completely. I had also tried to call Plantronics directly, but they were absolutely no help!
