Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Hear it all--music, calls, and more--with the Plantronics M50 Bluetooth headset, which streams audio from your smartphone and makes every call worry-free. It features an extended battery life, whispered talk-time alerts, and noise reduction features. You can even monitor the battery life automatically on an iPhone so you'll always have time to talk.
The affordable M50 headset is also one of the only devices at this price to deliver Bluetooth audio streaming capabilities (via the A2DP profile) for listening to music, podcasts or GPS directions. It also offers multipoint technology (allowing you to pair and maintain connections with two or more devices), micro USB charging, and up to 11 hours of talk time.
Key Features

• Streams music and audio from your smartphone
• iPhone displays headset battery meter so you'll always have time to talk

• Voice alerts tell you talk time, volume, connection, and more
• Multipoint lets you take a call from one of two paired phones
• Sets up in minutes with most Bluetooth phones
• Fights noise and wind

Use Multipoint One Call at a Time
Once you have activated multipoint and paired your two phones, it's easy to answer calls from either phone. When already on a call, you will hear a ringtone notification of the incoming call from the second paired phone.
To answer a second call from the other phone, you must end the current call (tap Call button) so new call automatically answers. If you choose not to answer the second call, it will go to voicemail.

Customer Reviews

I have owned many bluetooth headsets over the years so here is my opinion of the Plantronics M50 in comparison. First of all this headset can stream music or podcasts from your smart phone which none of my previous headsets could do. It also has built-in noise reduction to reduce or eliminate background noise like wind, rain, traffic or music. It has voice alerts that tell you the battery level, volume level, talk time and more. It has a special battery meter that will show up on your screen if you have an iPhone.
This headset syncs easily on my Samsung Gravity Touch or PS3 if you happen to play video games online. The sound quality is good for an average priced headset. I don't have any problems with disconnects or voice transmission.
I have also owned other headsets that tend to want to move or feel like they are going to fall off. Not a problem with this one, it's held securely in place and is fairly comfortable.
I love the battery life on this headset and it will last me at least 8 hours of constant use. I usually stick with a Motorola headset because most of them also have good battery life. I have had many headsets that only last for about 4 hours and I didn't like that at all. You can get a lot of use out of this headset without constantly recharging it.
This headset will come with a wall charger and it's covered by a 1 year limited warranty. For the price I think this is one of the better headset options at the present time.

This is a cute BT headset that is very lightweight. It pairs very easily with Skype (as long as you have a BT adapter). The standby time is about 16 hr, and I've had a conversation lasting +5 hours straight on this thing with no problems. I've paired it with my computer and phone, and there have been no problems at all. The pairing is very easy.
One of the best features of the headset for me is that fact that it has a switch to turn off/on, and a voice will tell you when you've turned it off/on. This is waaaaay better than other BT where you have to double/triple press a button not knowing if you've turned it on or off.
I knocked off 1 star because the ear loop is made of thin plastic and it could very easily break. Once that loop breaks, there won't be a way for me to keep it secure to my ear. There are NO additional ear buds that come with it. What you receive is what you get. The ear buds fit me fine, but others might not feel that way.
