Logitech H800 vs Plantronics Voyager 5200

4ghz so that I do not have to worry about the limitations of Bluetooth communication profiles switching to mono and lower frequency, since I use voice recognition software while listening to music and need the microphone and speakers at maximum quality all the time. However, at the same time I would also like Bluetooth to connect simultaneously with my mobile in case I need to pick up a call (I have difficulty constantly switching because of my disability). I realize not all headphones can simultaneously use both wireless technology. However, as many leads as possible will be helpful

Sounds simple, right? WRONG! It *usually* connects correctly, but about 1/3 of the time, you have to move the stupid headset on and off the charger multiple times to get the charger to recognize it and flash those little blue lights, and sometimes you have to blow hard onto the contacts to remove dust particles which apparently impede the connection. But the worst is, sometimes the little blue lights come on and you think it’s charging, but you wake up the next morning to find that, not only did the headset NOT charge, the charger actually *drained* the battery, leaving you with a completely dead headset. This happens so frequently, I have to remember to check the Plantronics Android app (which is almost as flaky as the charging system) every time I put the headset on the charger to make sure it says “charging.” Sometimes it saying “charging” and and sometimes it doesn’t, requiring you to jiggle the headset around some more until it actually starts to charge

2 ounces. So very lightweight and it doesn't feel to have a lot of pressure when you put it around your head. Everything I'll notice, I'll highlight f...

I just put it on my ear and turn it on and I can walk around and carry on with my day and not have to rush and find my phone and then my headset and plug it all in. I'd constantly say to people "Just a second while I plug in my headset" and hear them continuing to jabber on. Its light, comfortable and doesn't irritate my ears at all and normal earbuds drive me crazy in a very short time. So really the only caveat is I haven't had it long enough to see how good the battery life is but its filling exactly the need I purchased it for

/\s/: Okay. So for the second pro here is the comfort/\s/although the plastic feels a little cheap, this/\s/ headset is very light. It's not heavy at ...

** The Plantronics 3200 used to be a good option but it's been discontinued and now only the Plantronics 5200 remains, which is massive and with which I can't get a good fit. (These are all mono BT headsets).

The microphone is noise cancelling and can be adjusted and bent into any position quite easily. There is quite a unique folding mechanism on these hea...

If there's a lot of chatter, employees, your kids, dogs barking, it's going to help eliminate that. We're going to test that here in just a second. Th...

Mid sound? alright, highs are slightly lacking. lows. You know, bass is lacking. Well, a lot

My mic sounds nice, check, one. Alright, let's talk about the Patronix Voyager 5200. It's the same as the best biased version, the 5220. The only diff...

They don't last particularly long - off the top of my head it seems like I get about 6 hours of steady use watching movies or listening to music. EDIT-15 Jan./2014: Oh oh. Looks like I'm getting the dreaded crackling sound and complete disconnect when using USB on my modern Dell XPS computer

I find i have to positon my fingers over the headset and use my palm to reduce noise texture that i ended up cutting a paper straw to “cover” the mic to mildly reduce environmental noise and slightly boost my voice. The battery, when on and in average talking use, lasts about 6 hours. I typically charge it during my lunch to guarantee it will last the rest of the day. Charging doesn't take too long usually about an hour or two max, even charging for 10-15 minutes could give you an hour or so of time if needed

Sometimes when it fails to pair you can disconnect and reconnect the USB dongle (with the headset off and unplugged) then turn on the headset. But that doesn't always work and I worry about wear and tear on the dongle. So try to remember to unplug and turn off headset before you boot up or restart Windows 7. - range is so-so, about 20 feet in a straight line with nothing in between

As mentioned the PLT 5200 normally fail after about 1 year of daily use which is OK to me (I do keep them in by pocket sometimes). These are the failures I seen so far - Mic stop working or sound like there is a lose connection. - On off switch stop working. - Rubber start pealing of and cables in flexible part of headset wear out
