What do people say
Users Opinion on Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset:
Summary
-
Basically this headset has two major problems: not intuitive and hard to use controls & size, users find it bulky and big. It also has some advantages: long battery life, clear reception on both ends of the conversation, it is comfortable for long wearing. About noise cancellation feature the opinions are not united : some say it is excellent, some say it awful.

Some Positive
1. It works! I can hear everyone clearly and they can hear me, even if I am driving. I haven’t tried it in the airport yet, but it has worked superbly in all the other environments in which I daily encounter noise including walking around in the city. This is totally opposite my experience with the HS850.
2. It was relatively easy to program to my phone.
3. Although heavier and bulkier than the HS850, it is much more comfortable on my ear and stays in place as I walk. The HS850 tended to dangle and not stay in place.
4. It is easy to answer and hang-up a call with just a press of the button on the side of the headset.

Well, it’s nothing short of perfect! It has volume to spare! I could never get the Motorola or Jabra to be loud enough in areas where there might be competing sounds. The noise cancellation feature is spectacular!
I’ve asked people I’m speaking to, and they havve no idea I’m on a headset. Crystal clear sound both ways.
This is an amazing headset, at an amazing price. Maybe not as teeny as some bluetooth headsets, but this works and is frustration free. It synced up with my Treo in a heartbeat.
February 2010 Update: I’m still using the same headset four years later! It works perfectly with my iPhone.

Some Negative
The first thing you notice out of the box is that it’s quite large, both in the size of the battery pack that hangs over your ear and especially the depth of the microphone. Put another way, it sticks out quite a bit from your cheek rather than laying flat against your face. This not only can cause some sound quality issues, but also makes it very conspicuous. So, if you prefer to keep a low profile while working hands-free, this may not be the best one for you. The size of the piece that hangs over your ear also makes wearing glasses or even a hat an issue. All that said, the unit is very comfortable provided you don’t have anything else hooked over your ear. It’s also easily configured for either ear.

Where the unit fails badly, though, is the controls. They do not provide enough tactile input. You cannot be certain of where the volume control is or which end of the rocker switch increases or decreases the volume. Since the volume defaults to moderately low setting, this means you are likely to miss the first words of whatever your caller is saying which in turn means a lot of asking “what did you say?”.
