ok, but pricey .......2007-10-25
the earpiece is a bit loose, for the price I figured it would be more secure. Overall, it is a good product
Product Description
The M170 sleek headset is ideal for use either in your car or with selected DECT phones. It is compatible with all headset-ready cellular, PCS or cordless phone, i.e., equipped with a jack for plugging a headset directly into the phone. For cellular and PCS phones that are not headset-ready, you will need a headset adapter with a built-in headset jack. The M170 incorporates the versatile headset that can be converted from headband to over-the-ear style and features an adjustable microphone boom and an advanced speaker technology that protects hearing. The Plantronics RF Noise Shield reduces annoying RF static noise. The microphone possesses an adjust switch for optimal voice output. The headset is compatible with telecoil-equipped hearing aids. It also has the special clothing clip for added stability on the move.

Nice Product.......2007-10-10
I purchased this headset to replace a Plantronics headset that came with my original unit. This unit has a vinyl padded ear piece instead of a foam piece the original one had. Sound quality is very good and the headset is comfortable.
My Experience after 6 Years of Use... Best I ever had..........2007-08-03
Well my M170 lasted about six years. It was tossed around the vehicle and generally being used in a rough manner before the wire near the 2.5mm plug finally gave way. Man this unit was a trooper. I used it in my car with the effective although somewhat "dorky" looking metal headband. The unit always sounded good both sending and receiving. I went out and bought several earpieces after my 170 died including the highly touted Etymotic ER22. None of the headphones worked as well as the 170 did. The 170 worked very well in my noisy vehicle and my truck driver friend said he could always hear me well on this unit. After many dollars later and much frustration trying newer designed headsets, I decided to go back with the 170... but wait! Now Plantronics has a M175C which looks to be the same unit but adds a volume control and a mute button. I bought it and will write up a review of the unit later after I have used it a bit. Back to the 170 though... The 170 also comes with an ear hook which looks more stylish than the metal headband. I used the metal headband and it's padded leather earpiece when I used the headset It is very comfortable to wear for those really long conversations. I'm talking about hour plus conversations and beyond.
I highly recommend this unit and give it five out of five stars.
buying my second.......2007-07-11
This is a great headset. I had one that stopped working after almost 2 years of service with rough handling and use. I tried a Plantronics Bluetooth but my wife made me get rid of it. This headset has great sound quality approaching the Boom (the ferrari of wired headsets) at 1/4 the price. I sold the boom at a trade show - great sound but it fell apart faster.
I look like a dork with a 'telemarketer' headset on my cell phone but I don't care and my calls are clear.
Have tried a lot of different headsets for use with cell phone. This one works best for me........2007-06-15
I've tried various brands (Jabra, Platronics, Motorola, other stuff) and this particular Plantronics model seems to me to be superior to all I have tried. Best sound quality for both me and the one listening on the other end. This is the only headset that I have ever used (and I've used it a lot) where the another person at the other end (a friend usually is the one who will tell you these things, not an acquaintance) where others have not told me it's hard to hear me or that my voice sounds odd in this way or that. Maybe someday the Bluetooth stuff will sound as good as this does. For now, I'm sticking with the cord. (Works great on cordless phones in the home, too.)
Comfortable, but...........2007-02-14
It's great if you are only listening. Forget it if you expect the person on the other end to hear you.

If price is no object, get three.......2006-04-07
The hype is, in fact, true. The microphone on this headset is MILES better than any other at noise rejection; and I have tried most of the competition. You can in fact have a coherent conversation in a hushed voice while a semi trailer is driving past you on the street. The caller on the other end doesn't hear "nothing"---but they don't hear anything distracting. In addition, the clunky silicone "ear funnel" makes it easy to hear callers even in loud conditions, even at 50% volume on my Blackberry.
That said, there are several real drawbacks:
1) As a previous reviewer noted, the wind rejection is not great. The included windscreen is too small; it helps but doesn't solve the problem. I work on roofs in windy Illinois, so this is a problem, but it's no worse than other headsets. I will try a giant fuzzy ball on my next Boom, to see if that can totally eliminate the sound of a 30MPH gust.
2) The Mic is very directional, so the "fading" the previous reviewer saw was probably due the the mic drifting out of the sweet spot ~ 1" away from and slightly above your mouth. Outside of that zone, the mic eliminates the "noise" of your voice very effectively! =)
3) The ear holder is uncomfortable after many hours. This product is not "dainty", and it comes with a tenacious moldable thing that holds the headset in place. To get a snug fit, you bend it tightly around your ear. After a few hours, this HURTS.
4) Build quality SUCKS. My first Boom broke, so I super-glued it. After a couple months it got stolen, so then I waited (and waited!) for them to release the new version. The new one broke again (in a different place) after a month, so I super-glued IT. Then it broke again (in a third place), and I glued it again, and now the adapter cord is broken so I can't use it until I get a replacement.
5) Support SUCKS. It took me NINE MONTHS to get my v4 Boom. During this time, they were totally out of stock. Then, they forgot I was on the pre-order list. Then they charged my credit card and didn't send the item. Finally, they sent the item (along with some tasty chocolate as a mea culpa). Then I lost the "ear funnel", and needed a replacement. Took me six phone calls to reach someone. Then it started breaking (see above). Ten phone calls later, I haven't reached a single human nor recieved a callback.
BOTTOM LINE: Their amazing technology solves the big problem for me: project a professional phone presence while still getting the work done. I spend about 4 hours per day on my cell phone, mostly outdoors and driving, so this is a Must Have. So I'm going to just buy the damn things in bulk and live with the crappy support and fragility. If talking with customers in a loud environment is not a necessity for you, go with something that doesn't work as well but is cheaper and less breakable.
If they start giving better support, in a way that I can tell is not just to appease me, I'll ammend this review.
Way too much hyped up. Extremely disappointed.......2004-12-12
Hi, I generally try to give a product a fair chance before forming a judgment. I have to talk on phone a lot (suffice to say that I have a 5000 minutes plan for my mobile) and hence wanted to invest in a "state-of-the-art" head set for my cell phone. The main criterion I had was that my client should not know if I was making the call from my car, while crossing the road or my office. I searched on the internet and found this head set.
This headset is not as comfortable or as non conspicuous like the others smaller Bluetooth enabled (like by Jabra). I was willing to tolerate some discomfort as long as I could conduct a professional voice call with my clients without background noise.
Well, I started talking on this headset, assuming that all the marketing hype was true. But soon I realized that this headset cannot be trusted. I was making a call to my wife one day and she asked me if the weather was really bad. I was walking in slight windy conditions while talking to her and she heard a storm in the back ground. Same happened while the AC vents in the car were blowing air. OK, maybe this head set might be build just for places where there is no wind.
But lo and behold, while calling from my office too, it seams that this headset would sometimes fade in-fadeout.
I was really disappointed with this set.
This head set comes in 2 parts: the long mic piece detaches from the holder which wraps around your ear. One fine day I lost the ear piece which was a blessing in disguise since I was not going to throw a $150 head set in the trash voluntarily. Right now, I am using the cheapo headset that comes with the phone and I am much happier.
