Plantronics M1500 Bluetooth Headset With Adapter For Non-Bluetooth 2.5mm Phones

I realized that I needed a headset for my cellphone (Motor.v60) and my home cordless phone. ...I was so excited about the Plantronics M1500 for non-bluetooth phones, since I was not about to pay a large amt. for that type of phone. ...

After opening the pkg. i took out the headset, adaptor and instructions etc. I followed the directions and plugged the adapter to the phone and powered the headset with the battery. The ease of set up was superb! At this point I was so excited. I placed the headset on my head/ear and turned it on by pushing the on/off button on the headset. I turned on the adapter and dialed a friends number to test it out.

"Hello?" said my friend. "Hello?". "I'm hear"......BzzzBzzz/poppop....

No only could my friend not hear me but we both heard loud buzzing sounds and popping. I tried to switch phones and see if it helped and I tried the suggested positioning by the manufactures instrucions. Nothing helped at all.

Sadly to say, I returned the headset and...Read more

I find this is much better than choking myself at 65mph on a wired headsets cord when turning my head to see who is next to me before changing lanes. With this unit I have total freedom of movement while talking on my cell phone. Tried a friends unit for 3 days, loved it, cant wait to get my own.
As for the other reviewer named "Daniel" I think you had your adapter part to close to the antenna of your cell phone. and if your using this on a home phone, you may get interference if its a 2.4ghz phone, as the bluetooth technology also uses the 2.4ghz radio frequencies. Again, if the adapter part is close to the antenna of your 2.4 ghz home cordless phone, expect the interference. This headset seems mainly for use on mobile, not cordless phones.

I was excited when I received this product in the mail. Kudos to Plantronics for cutting edge Industrial Design and small form factor. It looks a lot bigger in pictures, but was pleased to see that it is actually nice and small and fits well on my ear. I am bluetooth novice, but was able to set up the unit quite well. It worked well with my wife's Sony Ericsson T68i but didn't work with the Nokia 3650. The 3650 seems to have a lot of compatibility issues with bluetooth and now the only one that works (as of Aug-03) is the Jabra unit, which has been revised to work with the 3650. The Nokia is able to "discover" the headset, but cannot connect to it. The only way to use it is to get the M1500-N1 model and plug the sleek adapter into the phone. This defeats the purpose of going wireless. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it is hard to tell when the unit is on or off. A few tries of on/off/on/off will tell you. The reason is that the unit lights up...Read more
