Plantronics 85117-02 Bluetooth USB Adapter,Black

I got the Plantronics BT300 USB Bluetooth 2.0 - Bluetooth Adapter for use with my Plantronics Voyager Legend headset, with the goal of using them for Skype and Webex calls. The combination works really well, and was easy to set up. These are the backup approach, and the approach I take on the road.In my home office, my preferred approach is my Plantronics Blackwire C420 USB headset, which is extremely comfortable (I could wear it all day) but kind of bulky for the road. The Bluetooth set is very compact, but I find I can only wear something that sticks into my ear for a couple of hours at a time. So I use one for the home office and the other when I'm traveling.Both approaches provide extremely clear, clean sound, both for me and those on the other end. In fact, when I switched from just using my cell phone to participate in Webex calls, my team members immediately commented on how much better they could hear me.

This product works and works well. However the price is overwhelming. The cost of manufacture is so small compared to the sale price you cannot help from feeling cheated.

worked well for a couple of hours then constantly disconnected. I paired this with a plantronics bluetooth headset too so it cant be compatibility. May be better of using a matching pair of USB headset bundle

Been waiting for the "CS" for awhile, the solutions from Plantronics have generally been single focused. You could either get a UC headset, deskphone headset, an IP Phone/Soft Phone headset or a mobile headset, never could you cross integrate seamlessly with only one headset.With dual pairing, I am able to use this as a both a deskphone and mobile headset. Switching between calls and function is easy while talk quality and performance of product is exceptional for a top of the range bluetooth headset.This would have been a 5 stars if it included the other essential options as a set - The Plantronics Bluetooth USB Adapter to allow UC usage and the Plantronics Charge Case.

The BT adapter that came with my earpiece broke when my bag fell over upside down and the side of my laptop that the adapter was plugged into hit the ground first, so I bought this as a replacement for the one that came with my Voyager earpiece. This one works great, easy connection, etc. The one caveat is that unlike the original, if you do not "hang up" your earpiece (by pressing the side button as if you'd answer/hangup a call on your phone) the adapter keeps the connection open and drains the battery on the earpiece as if it was continually on a call. This is not a big deal, just a minor annoyance that if I want to use my earpiece on the computer, I have to tap the button to open or close the "line" even though they are connected. Fits the bill though, just not perfect.

I paired this with my Jawbone Icon headset and the thing disconnects/reconnects over and over all day long. Very disconcerting when you are trying to work. It also disconnects when you walk just a few steps away from the machine.

Using a Plantronics Voyager Legend with a MS Lync virtual office phone over a VPN connection everyday. I speak on the phone about 8 hours or more a day, and this adapter is fabulous in this pairing. Using the Bluetooth built into the computer was of a far lower quality, and I had a lot of challenges keeping it paired and handling any kind of movement away from the laptop. This adapter is easily giving me 30 feet or more of mobility, quickly re-establishes connectivity if I wander too far, provides easy muting capabilities that Lync recognizes, and easily integrates with this virtual office solution.When I travel into the office, my co-workers are jealous of it. It's very slick! Be warned, though; I thought they sent me an empty box! I was in the process of filing a complaint when my wife found that it had just fallen out of the holder during shipping. It's SO TINY!

Was good product, but way too costly for a simple device compare to others
