What is frustration free packaging?

Be careful purchasing this product without the original packaging - there are many, many online sellers who resell these units - they are subject to failure over a period of time. I think the V Legend is amazing - but after owning 5 of the over the years and having every single one fail after a year or so I'm moving to the 5200 hopefully with better results. For $100 a pop these really should have a longer lifespan. The only reason I keep buying them is because they really are the best phone headset/mic out there nothing else really compares. Again my advice is to only buy in new factory packaging, the high failure rate on this model means there are duds out there that people are reselling as "new" - I've fallen for the ruse myself when trying to find a cost effective way to replace the unit.

The magnetic charger - Will it also be able to be charged by a regular micro USB charger ?

You need a special mating connector to charge the Voyager Legend, and cannot use a generic micro USB connector cable by itself. The Voyager Legend headset itself has 5 exposed, gold-plated electrical contacts, which are designed to mate with a set of 5 charging pins nestled in a cupped concave surface (which complements the convex part of the Legend). These contacts transmit normal electricity, not anything magnetic. Note that this charging approach is a direct DC charging approach, and is different than the AC magnetic field charging approach used by other appliances like electric toothbrushes or the Qi cell phone charging standard. That said, there are magnets used to attaching the charging connector to the headset. Mating pins providing electricity to charge the headset may be found either: 1. at the end of a USB charging cable "Voyager Legend 9" USB Charging Cable". The USB end of this cable is a male USB type A. The proprietary cable end has a magnet inside, which is only pulls in and seats the Voyager Legend headset exposed electrical contacts against the proprietary cable contacts. -or- 2. Within the "Voyager Legend Portable Charge Case" (part number 89036-1). This case accepts a standard micro USB cable for power, which it uses to both charge its internal battery, and then routes this power to the pin contacts within the case. There is also a very strong magnet within this case to tightly pull the headset into the pins and seat it properly. There may be other products out there I'm not aware of that provide the mating connector, including aftermarket products. I have to say that I really like the proprietary charging contact approach. I keep my Voyager Legend on a shelf with a USB power supply, and it's extremely easy to just casually place the headset near to the USB cable, and the magnet does the rest of the job by pulling the headset in and seating it perfectly. I've had the same Legend since I bought it new in 2013 (it's 2021 as I write this), and mostly it's been a very reliable headset with good battery life. I also appreciate that the battery life has not degraded significantly in the 8 years I've had it. Probably Plantronics was careful about the sources for their OEM batteries, resulting in a very long-lived battery within the headset itself. I've found that other cheap Bluetooth headsets I have tend to lose that battery life after 2-3 years.

is your voice clear to caller?

Nobody can hear me when I use this. Everybody's complaint is that my voice comes across very quiet and far away even though the mic is an inch away from my mouth. It is completely inadequate at its main function. I might have received a lemon, I don't know, but out of the box people started complaining.

Can you mute your voice with this product? If yes, then how is it done?

YES...the boom is flat on the bottom side when it's on your ear. There's a straight button that's maybe a quarter inch long. Press that button & you will hear "mute on". Press again you'll hear "mute off". I think it is set to remind you every 15 minutes; but if you go to the plantronics website, you have the capability of changing that. I have mine set for 5 minutes. I seldom use the mute but it does come in handy every now & then!!!
