Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My Plantronics Voyager HD occurred the same fate as that of many owners who reported the same problem which is that the rubber "neck" portion broke. As a result, the lower portion of the headset just flops around as it's being held by a thin wire. When I saw this model on sale for a third of the price of the Voyager HD, I decided to give it a try. The reviews were good on it which gave me confidence in making the purchase. I ordered it on a Friday and was very pleasantly surprised to see it arrive two days later on Sunday! Upon opening the box, inside were the headset with the silicon ear gel already attached. An additional ear gel piece is included as well as a micro-usb charging cable and car charger. Pairing the headset was as easy as it can get. Just hold down the power button for a few seconds and then go to the cell phone bluetooth settings and scan for the MPOW. Once found, it paired up easily with my iPhone. Fitting the MPOW to my ear is similar to how I did it using the Voyager. I can do it with just one had. The fit is snug and comfortable. The silicon ear gel is round, smooth, and soft which does not irritate my ear at all. Compared to the Voyager, the MPOW is more discreet looking mostly because the MPOW does not have the protruding boom mic that the Voyager has. Performance on the MPOW is good overall. The volume level is actually louder than the Voyager. The clarity of the ear piece is good. However, the microphone performance is not as good as the Voyager. I did a test with a couple of people using the Voyager and the MPOW. My test subjects both agreed that the Voyager did sound clearer probably because it has the boom mic. However, my test subjects were still able to hear me okay on the MPOW. The MPOW does stream music just like the Voyager did. On my iPhone, the MPOW does show remaining battery level. I haven't really tested the endurance of the MPOW's battery. I'm not really confident on it's endurance simply because of how light the MPOW is compared to the Voyager. For now, I can tell you that the headset lasts all day for me without having to recharge it in the middle of the day. Bottom line, I would definitely buy this model again. I just hope that the rubber neck part doesn't break, or at least not too soon.
