Author: The Plantronics M2500 Bluetooth headset is quite useful if you have a cell phone that is Bluetooth enabled. It will allow you to make calls easily on your cell phone and headset without being entangled in wires. It weighs only eight-tenths of an ounce, and is fully compatible with Bluetooth 1.2.
There are some other Bluetooth headsets that have more features than the Bluetooth Plantronics USB Headset, but the Plantronics device will allow you to carry on long cell calls on your wireless headset without spending a lot of extra money for the privilege.
Bluetooth headsets are usually light in weight, and they fit comfortably to your ear. The M2500 is no exception to this rule, although it’s not quite as small as the newest headsets available. A larger part of the Plantronics USB wireless headset rests behind your ear, and it is sometimes a bit difficult to curl the speaker into your ear while you you’re holding on to the headset. Once you try it a few times, though, you will find that you get used to it fairly easily. To be sure, the Bluetooth is much less bothersome than wired headsets are for the same purposes.
The packaging of the M2500 states that this device is universally compatible with Bluetooth enabled devices and mobile phones, and you’ll want to check the instructions if you plan to pair your headset with a device that is Bluetooth-enabled, which you will need to do, if you wish to use them together. There is no external display on the M2500, just buttons and a dial for your controls, so you’ll need to check to make sure you are setting the device correctly to look for Bluetooth devices. If you pair them once, you’ll be good to go from there on out.
The biggest advantage that the Plantronics USB Headset M2500 has over the competition is its price. Even the top of the line M2500 headsets are cheaper than some newer headsets in the same stores. It’s listed in PC magazine with a price of $49, but that varies, depending on where you look.
People who own and use the M2500 have found it to be very useful. It is fairly easy to pair to your cell phone, and the sound quality is good. There may be some static, but nothing more than the cell phone would have itself, in areas with poor reception. After you pair the devices, linking them is easy - you simply turn the cell’s Bluetooth on and power up your headset. Then you can use the headset’s volume control and the start and end call buttons without using the handset.
