With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I figured I should do at least ONE product recommendation with a spin towards the couples out there. (Of course if you are reading this and Valentine’s Day is NOT nearby, you can just fill in whatever gift-giving holiday is closest: Birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, Hanukah, etc.) Everyone has a cell phone nowadays, and most of these cell phones have Bluetooth built in for connecting headsets and other devices. Now recently (at least in California), it is against the law to talk on the phone without using a “hands-free device” when you are driving in your car. All the more reason to get a Bluetooth headset.
The Plantronics Discovery 925 is one of those Bluetooth headsets that you can actually be proud of wearing. You don’t look like some alien or someone without any sense of style. In fact, there are many celebrities who use these Plantronics because of their looks alone. For me, however, looks is only part of the equation. I’m interested in seeing how tech-y it is, what its functions are, where it shines and where some more polish could be applied.
I received a matching “His and Her” set just in time for Valentine’s Day. The products were identical with the exception of the color of the headset and their associated carrying cases: mine was “Black” and my wife’s was “Majestic Purple.” The packaging (seen below) gives almost a complete view of the product, so you know what you are getting. I like this better than the “peer down through a hole” type of display. The top part of the packaging shows the headset and carrying case while the lower part conceals the power charger, manual, etc.
