One Tough Little Earpiece
587592
I bought the Plantronics 88120 for an upgrade in overall quality compared to the cheaper earpieces I'd had before. The Plantronics definitely does the job. I stay connected in many different environments, and the sound quality is consistent everywhere. Consistent, yes. As good as it could be? Well, it's a little "tinny," which really doesn't bother me for the price I paid. But here's the best part. A week ago I was emptying the dryer when I discovered my Plantronics at the bottom of the pile of clothes. It could only have gotten there by going through the washer in my shirt pocket. I took it out of the dryer and turned it on. Dead, as expected. Just for fun, I plugged it in. Wonder of wonders, the charging light came on. I let it sit overnight, unplugged it in the morning and turned it on. Into my ears came the familiar voice telling me I had seven hours of standby time and four hours of talk time (or something like that). I called a friend and the earpiece worked perfectly. I don't advise washing your Bluetooth earpiece regularly, but I am amazed the little thing survived.

small and easy to carry with you in backpack or pocket.  decent battery life, never died on me in the middle of conversation.  4 stars instead of 5 because the ear clip/piece can use better design.  it comes with a few different sized ear pieces that theoretically should fit inside your ear using friction, but it font find it nearly secure enough, i am constantly adjusting it to prevent it falling out.  they also included traditional ear clip which is designed to hook onto your ear from the outside, but it's not the right shape/size, doesnt work at all.

I bought one of these in Feb 2016. I'm buying a second one today (Oct 2017) only because the rubber has ripped away from the plastic on the first one. It's otherwise been a solid budget earpiece.

Pros:
* After 1.5 years it still holds a charge fine. With light use (5 minute call every day) I can probably go more than two weeks. Listening to podcasts for 1.5 hours a day will get you a few days easily. This is not a new battery, this is a 1.5 year old battery I'm reviewing here.
* When your head is vertical, it stays on the ear fine and I occasionally forget I'm wearing it.
* Zero complaints about audio quality from either side.
* Can use it on either ear
* When you turn it on it tells you how many hours you have left of active use. It's pretty accurate.

Cons:
* Rubber ripped off of the plastic and I tried a few types of glues before giving up. The electronics are fine but the rubber is required in order to hear anything. I keep this headset in my jeans pocket next to my cell phone so that is likely why the rubber came off.
* The rubber shape could easily be annoying to some ear sizes. I don't mind it and I'm six foot tall and wear a medium size baseball hat (adjustable hat straps don't need to be adjusted). I have no idea what size my ear is.
* After about a year of moderate use the flip hinge starts getting loose. If you tilt your head the wrong way it tries falling out of your ear but never falls off. Slightly annoying but never a huge concern.
* The volume controls on mine seem to roll over from the highest volume to the quietest volume if you go the wrong way. I'm used to max volume being a dead end and you have to press the volume down button to reduce volume.
* The volume is more than adequate for driving with the windows up. However in any kind of noisy environment it will be difficult to hear. This is common for hearing safety reasons.

I loved mine so much I bought one for everyone I know as gifts!  They are fantastic earpieces!  The only negative is the three sizes of ear buds are general, and aren't comfortable for EVERYONE...but everyone seems to deal with the sizes just fine!!!

The earpiece works very well although can be difficult to stay in ear.  The carrying case works as an additional charger which is a big plus.

I love this little thing, especially since I purchased a "skin" with a clip. I can clip it inside my shirt, insert earphones and be on my way. Holds quite a lot of music., audio books, even movies (if you want, but I'd go blind, lol). It has an fm radio feature, but I don't listen to radio anymore. The only thing I worry about is losing it. You can't 'signal' it in any way (like calling it, face timing, loading friend finder, etc. it's pretty only good for music, audible books and eyes train movie watching. But that's what it says it does, no more, no less.

It is small, lightweight, and easy to use. The volume button is not a rocker button, requiring one to cycle through the volume levels; however, the sound is so clear I rarely need to adjust the volume.

I have a small ear opening and the smallest ear piece fits nicely and keeps the headset firmly in place (unless I physically knock it out by firmly brushing my hair back or wisking my sunglasses off). The ear piece does make my ear itch after extended wear; otherwise, no issues.

There are a number of advanced functions for which, I must confess, I don't rembmer the correct button sequences. However, for basic call answering, etc. this device is a breeze.

The attractive, petite charging/protection case is easy to keep on my desk as well as tuck into my smallest handbag. I've never run out of battery time.

I would definitely recommend this product, as well as buy it again myself.

I listen to a lot of tutorials. Podcasts and music. I walk or take the bus to get where I'm going. I'm always fumbling with my headphones and the wires, so I went to wireless and they kept breaking in my book bag.

I'm SO happy with this little one ear jewel, it doesn't fall out of my ear, with no connecting cable to get tangled. My daughter called me while I was walking and listening to music, the call came through on the earphone with an announcement of the phone number, I heard her fine, and she said she could hear me just fine and clear. My phone was in my purse so it was all earpiece!

I'm ordering another for backup.

I go through lots of headsets and am rather particular. These are distinct for the length of the earpiece and how it sticks out. Not being one who looks in the mirror for what others might see, I found this feature nice for handling the individual earpieces. The cables seemed particularly durable so I look forward to these lasting me for a while. Lastly, the in-line control is a single button with a mic so no volume adjustment. For $15 and the good sound quality I think these are a good value.

It is ok. It only has one piece for ear. For the price, good deal.

Great little protector for my Jawbone bluetooth.  There's a little mesh "cargo net" inside that keeps your device snug, and still has room left over for replacement buds, if that's your thing.  I have an earpiece custom-molded to my ear, and fits without any trouble

This Ear-102 works great for use on a single ear while driving and at work, and I don't find it uncomfortable at all as the ear piece is not hard plastic, but pliable and I don't even notice it. While the speaker sits outside the ear I am able to use the same volume level I used with the noise cancelling earbud I tried using before, which I found uncomfortable and fell out too easily.  While I don't use this earpiece for full high fidelity purposes, it does provide more than satisfactory sound and I am overall extremely pleased with it and more than I expected I would be.

Has great quality and sound, and is very durable. The earpiece by itself will not sit securely in your ear, so you'll probably need the plastic attachments to secure to your ear. Other than that, this is a pretty dependable earpiece!

This is one of several one-ear headsets Ive reviewed recently and it is a good one, maybe the best with respect to sound and volume.  There are pluses and minuses to using the one-ear variety, but I enjoy working on my computer listening to music with one ear and have the other ear free for questions or whatever else might come up around me.

Sound:  It is good, clear and balanced.  I hear no static or distortion.  Bass is not a strong point of these one-ear headsets, but even so you get pleasant listening like I am enjoying now as I type this.  Very smooth music.

Volume:  None of the one-ear headsets I have reviewed have been really loud, but this is the loudest one so far.  There are volume buttons so you have some control, but putting it on the maximum and leaving it there works best for me.

Pairing:  The headset paired quickly the first time (R551S) and  has re-paired automatically whenever used since then.

When you turn it on with the sliding switch it goes immediately into the pairing mode.  You will see the red/blue lights flashing.

Charging:  It charges with a standard charge cable.  The specifications say 6 hours of talk, 5 hours of music.  Charge time is said to be 2 hours, but mine came almost fully charged

Comfort:  This small headset weighs very little.  I am really not aware I have on it on, except for the music in my ear.

Like many of these one-ear headsets it comes with an over-the-ear hook that is essential to use.  The earbud is not designed to stick in your ear even with the small attached silicone ear hook.  Unless you use the over-the-ear hook, it will quickly fall to the floor.

Controls:  There are 3 buttons:  MFB, a large, silver button at the top of the back of  body of the earpiece, for everything but volume and change songs;  2 buttons for volume/song changes are at opposite ends of a long button on the side.  On/off is a sliding switch.  Short press for volume change but I doubt you will find this necessary.  Just put it at maximum and leave it.

Included with the headset is a charge cable, an ear hook that you clip on to the tube between the body and the earbud, and a user guide that appears to be a general user guide rather than specific to this headset. For example it does not mention the on/off switch, saying to turn it on by pressing the MFB.  There is not diagram to show the buttons and the switch.

Comparing this with other one-ear headsets I have reviewed, this is definitely 5 stars.

I have had this Bluetooth ear piece for over 2 weeks now, and I haven't had any huge problems.
Yes, it sounds a little 'tinny' to the person you are talking to, and if you're in the car with your AC on full blast, the person will hear the wind - but the sound quality is great in the earpiece. But hey - for $16, I am ok with sounding 'tinny' on the phone!
It has an extremely long life, too! I charged this the first night I received it and have used it for 2 weeks now without having to recharge it. Of course, I turn it off when I'm not using it, so I'm sure that helps. If you like to have it clinging to your ear 24/7, I don't know what kind of battery life you'll get.
The whole front of the ear piece is one big button, which is great because you don't have to fumble around with your earpiece, trying to find the button when you're trying to answer the phone. There have been some complaints about the redial button, but seriously? That's not a huge deal if you take care of it.
Yes, the headset has a redial feature - you click the big button once and it will redial the last number you dialed. But if you turn it off before putting it in your purse or pocket or if you leave it in your car, you won't have any problems (I know I haven't). If you hold the headset up to your ear, you'll be able to tell by a series of beeps when it's turning off. If you hold the button down until you hear those beeps, you won't redial anyone by accident.
The ear bud in itself isn't very comfortable, but paired with the ear hook, it works out quite nicely. You can just let it sort-of dangle in your ear and readjust it when you have a call coming in, so your ear won't get sore.
Overall, this is great for the price. I have also added pictures so you can see what the other side actually looks like.

Excellent ear piece.  Stays on my ear comfortably even though I wear eye-glasses, can listen to my music or audio-books when no one knows at work, and has crystal-clear audio with super background noise reduction.  Turn it on and it sync's immediately to my iPhone.  In fact it syncs so fast that I'll often receive a phone call when I'm not wearing it... and still put in on my ear, turn it on (side switch), and hit the center talk button to answer it before the call ever goes to voice mail ( within 4 rings). Best earpiece I've personally ever owned, and the price is well worth it.
