Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset (Black)

The good: The Plantronics Discovery 925 is a fashion-forward Bluetooth headset with multipoint technology, a comfortable fit, and excellent audio quality.

The Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth earpiece is your essential conversation piece, blending an elegantly simple VFrame design with crisp sound quality and lightweight, couture comfort.

The eartip has a square loop that lets the earpiece fit in the ear without the help of an ear hook.

The effortless set up, AudioIQ noise control technology and carrying case with rechargeable battery let you stay in touch and in style while you’re in motion.

On the top right is the charger jack.

Measuring 2.7 inch long by 0.9 inch wide by 0.5 inch deep, the Discovery 925 is topped with a square diamond, and the boom mic tapers down to a point, forming a hollow trianglelike shape in the middle.

Also, its design isn’t for everyone, and it’s a tad on the expensive side.

The bad: The Plantronics Discovery 925 has just one volume control button and no call mute.

It comes with its own leather charging case, and Plantronics even showed it around during New York Fashion Week 2008, fully stamping it with luxury fashionista status.

It had a rated standby time of 7.29 days with the Multipoint technology turned off, and a rated standby time of 4.16 days when it’s turned on.

The overall look is stylish and one-of-a-kind, but as we said, we can’t help but think of it as more hair accessory than Bluetooth headset.

The aforementioned square diamond houses the multifunction button directly on top of it, as well as a LED indicator light.

We tested the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset with the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, and the pairing process went very smoothly thanks to the Discovery 925’s QuickPair system that automatically places the headset in pairing mode when it’s turned on for the first time.

Features of the Discovery 925 aren’t too different from other Plantronics headsets.

We found the fit to be snug and secure, though it does take a bit of maneuvering to have it fit properly-it’s suggested that the boom mic should point toward the corner of the mouth for optimal voice clarity.

It’s nice and big, and is very easy to press, even when worn on the ear.
