Plantronics Savor M1100 Bluetooth Headset
Three Microphones to Capture Your Natural Voice
The Savor sports a unique V-frame design with three synchronized mics strategically placed to best capture your voice. The addition of a third, noise-activated microphone better isolates your voice for a more natural sound without the need for a long boom.
The AudioiQ3 technology with advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) further reduces background noise and enables clear conversations between you and your listener.
Voice Commands for Hands-Free Operation
With voice-activation technology, you can answer calls without lifting a finger. Simply say "answer" to pick up an incoming call, or press the dedicated voice button for a host of other convenient commands, such as "pair mode," "redial," "cancel," or "call information."
Using this feature, you can access Plantronics Vocalyst hands-free text and audio email service, or Microsoft's Bing 411 service for traffic, weather, sports, news, and other updates.
One-Year Free Subscription to Vocalyst
The Savor package includes a free, one-year subscription to Plantronics Vocalyst (service in USA only), which provides you with a variety of voice and text services that you can access directly from the headset. With Vocalyst, you can use simple voice commands to have your emails, text messages, or Twitter feed read aloud to you, and even send text replies while you're listening. And if you want to record a reminder for yourself, Vocalyst can send it to you as an audio email.
NOTE: Vocalyst's email services are supported by Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo. The text feature works with Blackberry and Android smart phones.

Voice and Visual Alerts
Enhanced voice alerts such as "phone connected," "low battery," "talk time X hours," and "pairing" take out the guesswork of managing calls or keeping track of the headset's battery level. Additionally, built-in software enables you to monitor the headset's battery level on your iPhone.
Stream Music and More from Your Mobile Phone
Supporting the Bluetooth A2DP profile, Savor lets you stream music, podcasts, audiobooks, GPS directions, and more wirelessly from your A2DP-enabled mobile phone right to the headset.
Comfy Ear Tips and a Lightweight Construction
The Savor package includes soft, flexible, silicone gel ear tips in three different sizes, along with an optional earloop for multiple wearing options--providing you with the ideal fit, with or without glasses.
The compact, lightweight design and in-ear wearing style let you put on the headset quickly and easily when a call comes in.

Customer Reviews

I had to finally write a review on a product (maybe i've written a few others on some really great items) to let those of you who have been painfully searching for the perfect bluetooth, like me, that you can stop your search with this one! In the past three months I've gone through the jawbone icon (nice sound/fit, but had problems with pairing after A2DP), the Jabra Extreme (very good connection ; reliable, but sound was extremely muffled), Plantronics 975 (very nice aesthetically, amazing sound quality, but no A2DP) and Jabra Stone (very sexy, good sound quality, battery life HORRIBLE). I finally settled on the Jabra Extreme, just becuase it reliable, but at times it was so muffled i could barely make out what the other person was saying...
I thought what I was looking for was simple... I just needed a bluetooth headset that I could use with my computer for Communicator/Live Meeting Conferences and with my phone for regular calls when not using the computer. In addition to conference meetings on my phone, A2DP allows the headset to replace the laptop speakers with normal sound quality, which is why it was a must... for watching the occasional youtube video while working :)..
I think that Plantronics has the best sound quality... which is why I was sooo disappointed when the 975 did not have A2DP.
The Plantronics M1100 has solved this problem... no connection issues, A2DP, great sound quality, great noise cancelling, very slim, great fit and look! Finally I've found the perfect bluetooth headset for my needs... the M1100 great features too, which was an added bonus.. the voice controls are really nice... and although, i probably wont use it, but the Vocalyst feature is very nice... it comes with a free 1 year subscription so i'll probably sign up for that just to test it out.
anyway, i just wanted to share my two cents with those who've had the same struggle as me since this is a new product and not many reviews out. I could only find one or two when I was debating whether to purchase this or not two days ago.... So far I'm glad I did.
oh.. one negative.. the packaging was horrible.. maybe it was just me being too excited to figure out how to open it properly, but i had to rip all of the labeling from the case just to get it open.... so much for returning it... fortunately I won't be.

Overall this headset is easy to set up, fits comfortably in your ear, has great sound quality (talk and listen), holds charge for a long time, etc. However I work from home and have 3-9 hours of meetings every day, and multitask or type a lot while on the phone, so the ability to mute quickly and regularly is very important to me, and very annoying on this headset. It's connected to the volume button, and you have to hold it in for a full second to turn the mute on or off. This is probably fine for most people (I'm thinking of a neighbor who chats with frends for hours at time on her bluetooth), but when I'm working it's obnoxious to reach up and hold repeatedly every minute or two. (Generally I unmute when talking, and mute the rest of the time.) Incidentally, the volume button is annoying in its own right--instead of an up/down function, you push to get progressively louder, then it resets to the quietest volume. So if the volume is a little too loud, you have to cycle through progressively louder and louder volumes before it resets to the quietest level.
One other nit, although I'm not sure whether it's something most headsets have in common, is that if you reach up to adjust the earpiece, the "terminate call" button is dead-center and easy to push, so I frequently terminate calls on accident. Basically it happens every time I touch the earpiece (and I'm trying to train myself out of doing that!) but I've accidentally killed the call as many as 6 times during a single meeting, which is really obnoxious (they were large group meetings where it didn't really matter, but still!). So I recommend caution and giving yourself time to get through that learning curve before using the headset on any call where that would be a problem.
