Plantronics Explorer 220 Bluetooth Headset
Returning the unimpressive Jabra headset to Staples, I now needed to pick out a new headset to give a go-round.
Staples, by the way, tends to be very friendly about accepting returns. It’s one of the reasons I buy from them if I need something local or might end up exchanging it due to a lack of reliable information on the products quality.
Since it’s the same price ($39.99) i decided to go with Plantronics Explorer 220.
So far the unit seems to hold up well. Plantronics ear piece seems to be a much nicer fit. The sensation that I was hearing muffled audio is gone, although there is now a bit of static hiss in the background. I would guess that’s the trade-off between filtering and hissing in a mid-range unit.
We’ll see how the battery life and comfort hold up after a few days of use, but so far I’m more impressed with this unit out of the box.
