Plantronics Marquee 2 M165
I had a working Motorola BT earpiece that was ~ 5 years old and decided to replace it although it is still working. I bought the Plantronics Marquee 2 M165 @ ~ $39.00 from Amazon and received it a day early. Quickly paired it to my iPhone 5S. Tried to test a few voice generated outbound calls. Siri wouldn't recognize any "Call Home" or Call Anybody for that matter. Wouldn't "Send Text to XYZ". Siri kept waiting for a voice command that it never would receive. Apparently there's some middle-ware that "helps" the Marquee 2 do these tasks, although my old Motorola just interfaced directly with the iPhone. Fail.
Sending the Marquee 2 back to Amazon. I can't be bothered with any middle-ware.
Drove to one of the Big Box electronic stores and bought the Voyager Edge an hour ago. Jumped in my car, paired it, said "Call Home" and it called home. Wow. Send text to wife, Siri sent a text to my wife. All hands free. Did two test calls, one to a land line the other to a mobile phone and both parties report the audio sounds great and their audio to me sounded clear. Nice.
Didn't have to read the little fold out manual. Things just work as they should. Buttons feel sturdy. Fit is good with the default earpiece.
Would have given it five stars but I feel the price is a bit much for a BT earpiece. $130.00 seems high, although it is a quality product from my first experience with it.
