 Third Voyager 510 I've had now... May 27, 2010

Yes, I'm on my third one now.
The first one I simply wore out. I'm rough on them so it was just a matter of time. The second one lasted longer because I was more attentive shoving it into pants pockets, messenger bag pockets and such. The last one went down courtesy of a new puppy who apparently found it very tasty and satisfying.
Obviously I'm quite happy with this headset. The noise reduction and canceling feature work very well - and with the addition of the foam boom cover that can be bought separately I've even used it successfully while driving down the interstate with the passenger window down. So the operation and sound quality is superior to any other headset I've tried.
For ease of use I'd have to rate it as average. Nothing negative here, it simply does what you need it to do. The 'dial last number' is accomplished easily in-ear by pressing the control button twice. Answering in-ear is by pressing the control button twice. Pairing is just a matter of holding the control button and 'volume up' at the same time. This setts it into pairing mode and you just follow the instruction on your specific phone from there. It doesn't do anything with a "wow" factor, but it does everything reliably every time.
Battery life is a little better than average, I charge mine every other day and use the phone at least a couple of hours every day. Charging time is fast, too. The package says that it takes 3 hours to charge from completely drained. I've found it to be closer to two hours.
For fit it can't be beat. It's larger and more utilitarian in design; it's not vogue stylish or discreet. If you're wanting your headset to be a fashion accessory, this one isn't for you. The body is the earloop, and the boom mic is adjustable in a wide range to allow the headset to fit on either ear. It comes with three ear pieces that allow in-ear fit or (with the largest ear piece) resting against the ear canal. I've worn it both ways and have never had any trouble. No falling off, feeling wobbly or loose. It may feel a tiny bit heavy at first, but the fit is so comfortable that you forget it's on your ear after a while. I also frequently wear it while also wearing glasses and a baseball cap and there's never been in issue there either.
It supports voice dialing and does it as well as any other headset I've used. Again, no "wow' factor; it just works. It also does multi-phone paring; for example if you have a bluetooth house or work phone you can pair it up to that one and answer both phones with the one headset. However, I've never used this feature, so I cannot comment on it.
The only negative feature (for me anyway) is the volume control. It's a rocker-switch type where you press one side to increase and roll your finger to the other side to decrease the volume. It's contoured to aid finding it while trying to adjust the volume while wearing it; therein is the problem. It's not easy to adjust the volume without rolling the headset forward or backward over the ear. After a few times of pushing the headset off my ear I quit trying to adjust the volume that way. My solution is to leave the headset volume maxed out and do volume adjustments from the phone itself.
In short, if you want a reliable headset that works every time you need it, you cannot go wrong with the Voyager 510. If something happens to #3, you can bet there will be a #4 for me.
 Simply Put, Great for your phone, stinks for your computer March 8, 2010

The Plantronics Voyager 510 works great as a bluetooth headset for your phone, but when you connect to your computer, it's quality is horrible. Lots of static and as another reviewer stated eats CPU cycles. I have very high quality hardware and the headset failed to perform great.
1.) Had connected to: Dell Latitude D830 w/ 4GB RAM & 80GB HDD - Windows 7 x64 Home Prem.
Used USB bluetooth drive with plantronics software. Went to go play audio from podcast and was very poor audio quality. So much static that you could barely hear it. Skype call quality was the same.
2.) Then connected to my Unibody Macbook Pro 2.56GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD - OSX Snow Leopard
Headset synced with OSX with no problems, but I still get static call quality.
I love the build quality of this device, but at least the unit that I bought was piss-poor quality. Not happy with it for the price. It not in my opinion an acceptable headset. I would have done better by spending $50 on a Motorola bluetooth headset for my phone and forgot all about worrying about the computer. I invite other reviewers to let me know if my unit has a problem or not so that I can return it. I have been in the computer industry for 18 years and even tested the headset inside of a Faraday cage environment to rule out interference from wireless devices.
Im so happy March 2, 2010

Although it worked fine with Windows 7 and paired as per instructions and I could change the sound applet to use it easily. I had to install their personacall software for it to work with Office 2007 Communicator VOIP.
It comes with a USB adapter, which isn't needed for normal Bluetooth pairing, but does seem to be required for VOIP. One advantage to using the adapter is that it allows you to pair a single headset concurrently with a cell phone and the laptop. That means that I can use the headset if I walk away from my desk with my cell phone without having to pair it separately with the cell phone, and then back again to the laptop.
Given you can have communicator direct calls to your cell phone over the cellphone network, and to your laptop over the VOIP network, this is a big deal...
It comes with a small desk adapter/charger which can be powered by USB or 110v outlet. When you place the headset in the adapter it puts it into suspend mode allowing for faster charging, when a call rings and you lift the headset out of the adapter it goes back into active mode and you can answer via a button on the side of the headset. Etc.

Doesn't work well with Dragon Speaking. Doesn't work well with my cell phone as it wasn't a good match.
