Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset
By Plantronics
The Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset is comparably one of the most
unique headsets I have ever used. Unique not only in design and structure, but
the quality in such a little device you would have thought otherwise
impossible. The sound capacity was clear with no static or interference on both
sides as well as no voice echoes to be heard. The device also contains
WindSmart, a defense against wind noise which I found made a dramatic
difference in clarity. In addition, the fundamental design offers a sleek and
minimal composition that doesn’t sacrifice durability or sturdiness. The long
arm microphone isn’t flimsy in any way, and I didn’t worry for a second that it
would “Snap” off. I liked the fit of the arm, close enough to my mouth for
better clarity but far enough away that it wasn’t annoying or intrusive. The
only major drawback was the ear piece, which would stay in my ears for only
periods of time before falling out. However, the purchase includes gel eartips
in sizes, small, medium, and large if you have stubborn ears like mine.
The case was definitely one of the better features of the system. It’s a
rechargeable case equipped with an LCD screen, displaying case and earpiece
charge statuses. It’s a compact case with hard leather delivering protection
and an ease in charging. The headset fits securely and locks in place for
immediate charging. I would have expected nothing less from Plantronics and
they really delivered on this one. The Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset is
higher end in price, but the capabilities surpass its retail ten fold.
