Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Pick With Quality Sound Comment: The reason I rated this Voyager 510 bluetooth headset at 4 star is because I wanted to be some what conservative, but it is has great sound quality. That was the most important feature I was looking for, in addition to a good fit. I had some hard time with getting a comfortable fit sometimes, with some pain inside the ear, but it seems that it is getting better every time. Besides, I try not to put it on, if I don't need it. The on/off button is not easy to use. And, I guess, it is good to read the manual.
There was a trick, anyway: moving the microphone up and down affects the weight on the ear. The higher you lift it up, the lighter it feels. You've got to experiment with it on your own. Nice; it can be use on both ears.
I noticed smaller devices with friends and associates and considered exchanging mine for a smaller device, since it looked a little huge in comparison. But then, I opted to be satisfied with the sound quality I am enjoying, rather than experimenting with other devices that look better but have no assurance of good sound quality. I am glad I kept it.
Over all it is a good, sturdy, device. I would recommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great item Comment: I ordered this item based on the review of others, and wasnt disappointed. The only thing I could possibly complain bout is the ad said it only came with a usb computer charger, and not an ac. I ordered the ac and didnt need to! It came with no usb charger and an ac so now I have two. Great bluetooth device, nobody knows I am using it (and isnt that the point.) BUY IT!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wonderful Headset - A Real Work Horse Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:      Summary: OMG! This is awesome! Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:      Summary: This Bluetooth can't be beat Comment: The Plantronic Windsmart Voyager 510 is almost perfect. It beats out any of other Bluetooth products out there. The Windsmart technology is a lifesaver when you are outside. The noise cancellation feature is wonderful no matter where you are. The sound is crystal clear and no one ever has trouble hearing me. It sets up in seconds and it is incredibly easy to switch from my cell phone handset to the Plantronic 510 headset. I didn't find that to be the case with my prior Plantronic Bluetooth products. The earpiece, with the different size earpieces should solve the problem of a good ear fit. It is much more comfortable to wear and not think about than my prior Plantronic products. I can't see where you will be disappointed with this one.
