About two weeks ago, I purchased the Plantronics 320 from a local cell phone store. I had been wokring at a location that did not have phone service and needed to free up my hands. I did absolutely no research on Bluetooth headsets, and wound up buying this unit because it was the least expensive. I had to choose from the Plantronics 320 and several Motorola headsets that cost nearly twice as much. This is one of those rare times when I decided not to spend more money to buy the more established brand and I am actually satisfied with the purchase. I have had no problems setting it up and using it. My only gripe is at times the sound quality is not as good as I would like it to be. I do get some occasional static. But that could also come from my cellular provider, Verizon. It's also all plastic, but for the price, I cannot complain. If you are looking for an inexpensive Bluetooth headset to use with your cell phone, I would recommend the Plantronics 320.
