Customer Reviews

My Experience after 6 Years of Use... Best I ever had...
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.

Comfortable, but....
It's great if you are only listening. Forget it if you expect the person on the other end to hear you.

The Plantronics M-170 works extemely well with both our Uniden cordless and Motorola cell phones. It is comfortable and I am able to hear clearly.
Those I speak with also state they hear me clearly. This is the second Plantronics headset and they both have worked well!!
