About Plantronics

From the day two airline pilots working in a garage set out to invent a new kind of aviation headset until today, we have considered breakthroughs in audio technology as our daily business.

We pioneered the lightweight headset, the mobile headset, noise-cancelling technology and the personal speakerphone, always driven by a single obsession: remove the barriers to simply smarter communications.

Plantronics Explorer 50 Bluetooth Headset

The Plantronics Explorer 50 Bluetooth headset reduces background noise, connects to two smartphones, streams your music and GPS directions, and has a power-saving DeepSleep mode.

Enjoy your mobile calls and hear streaming music and GPS directions without holding your phone or getting tangled in wired earbuds.

The lightweight Plantronics Explorer 50 Bluetooth headset fits comfortably and is easy to set up, offering whispered instructions for initial pairing (US). It hibernates to conserve power and even tells you when it’s time to recharge.

Routing Call Audio:

  • When you receive an incoming call, the call audio will be routed to whichever device you answer the call from. If you answer the call via your mobile device, the call audio will be routed to your mobile device. In order to transfer your call audio from your mobile device to your headset during a call, you can either (1) press the call button on your headset to reroute the call audio, or (2) you can go to your call audio settings on your mobile device and select the Explorer 50 headset to reroute the call.

Clear sound and good range
Great item, frees up hands! Clear sound, good range.UPDATE 02/09/2018...We've had two of these Plantronics bluetooth headsets for about a year and a half now. The original phones that they were paired with have been replaced and there weren't any issues with changing the pairing. The sound quality is still clear and has a decent range from the phone.The only issues that we have encountered to date with these are as follows:1. After the cell phone has started back up in the morning and the bluetooth awakened from its sleep cycle that the first call is typically cut out shortly before the ringing begins. By simply choosing speaker and the phone and reverting back to bluetooth generally resolves this issue.2. A few days ago when waking the bluetooth to make a call it said that there was approximately 9 hours of talk time remaining. After spending about an hour and a half on a phone call, which took place shortly after waking, it started announcing that the battery level was low.Basically, this is a pretty decent bluetooth headset for the price and has lasted us for well over a year. At this time we plan to continue using these and will just keep the possibly limited talk time in mind.If you found this review "Helpful", please click the button below.
