The supremely comfortable small, medium and large gel tips that come with the earpiece are so unique that they are patented. They’re shaped to provide a secure and stable fit in your ear without interfering with glasses, and their flexibility lets you easily take the earpiece on or off.

Rechargeable Carrying Case – For down times, the Discovery 975 includes an ingenious carrying case that doubles as a charger. Perfect for airplane travel or extended down-time while you’re on the road, the case features an internal battery that charges your earpiece while you store it, effectively tripling your call and standby time while you’re on the road.

My Thoughts

Plantronics has been a trusted name in my household for many years and this is just another great product from them. I think that the rechargeable carrying case is a genius idea and so very convenient for my busy, on the go lifestyle. The earpiece is another new item for me as the other two headpieces I have used in the past were just plain uncomfortable and I didn’t like the headphone type cover, you know that stretchy net like thing. The Plantronics soft plastic earpiece is definitely comfortable and very unique indeed.

The sound quality is the best I have had in a Bluetooth device and it comes across crystal clear. I no longer have to ask the person on the line to hold on while I find a place that isn’t so windy! I have had to show the Discovery 975 off to quite a few people as they have actually asked to see it. By sight alone they love it and I have sent a few of them on over to the Plantronics website to see more for themselves. But I will have to say that once I pull the rechargeable carrying case and show people that, they are hooked. Brilliant!, Genius!, and Awesome! are just some of the exclamations I have heard.

I love my Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Device and I highly recommend it to everyone! Would make a great gift for someone to open Christmas morning too (I know, I may have to get my husband his own seeing as he keeps stealing mine )
