Great if you don't mind not being heardTuesday, March 08, 2005
This headset was comfortable to wear, but people couldn't hear anything I was saying-- horrible microphone. I went out and bought a generic General Electric phone headset for 11.99 & am completely satified-- flexible microphone, great sound quality, mute button, volume control.

Avoid ThisMonday, February 07, 2005
The other reviewers are correct: This is an inferior product. The microphone makes you sound (to the person on the other end) as if your mouth is facing away from it. Long distance NEVER sounded so long distance, as it does with this product.
Plantronics prides itself on being the premiere headset/mic company: makes one wonder why they didn't do quality tests on this junk.
I'll be returning this product for a refund.

Good sound -- worthless micThursday, January 13, 2005
I was very disappointed by Plantronics dropping the ball on this one. I spend an average of 5-6 hours a day on the phone and enjoyed the M175. Apparently, someone else did also, and I had to get a replacement. Figured the same thing as someone else here and I would save myself $15 and step down.
Headset and earpiece comfort were comparable, as was sound quality (reception). I get so many complaints on the mouthpiece, that I have given it up and am switching back.
Either the mic is poor, or the positioning is bad. I have a small face, and even so, I wish the boom mic was longer and didn't stop at the corner of my mouth.
Bottom line -- unless your mouth curves to one side or you like bending the mic to your mouth, skip this one.

Can't beat this headsetThursday, December 16, 2004
I've been the very happy owner of this headset for about a year. I use it with my cell phone, and people have told me they can actually hear me better when I use the headset than when I just use the phone itself. The sound quality is great, and the head piece is very comfortable. I would definitely buy this again.

Worst performance I've ever seen.Thursday, December 16, 2004
I bought two of these headsets to be used on cordless telephones. Tried them on 2 different brand handsets (AT&T, Uniden). The problem is not the nice fit on your head, nor the excellent audio in the earphone. The problem is the microphone! Irregardless of the microphone 'volume' setting on the jack, no one can hear you very well even when speaking considerably louder than normal. I'd really look elsewhere for a headset as these just aren't worth even the low price at Amazon.
