Poly Voyager Legend Wireless Headset (Plantronics) - Single-Ear Bluetooth w/Noise-Canceling Mic - Voice Controls - Mute & Volume Buttons - Ergonomic Design -Connect to Mobile/Tablet via Bluetooth -FFP

Update (2023-07-02): I'm leaving my previous review intact below and adding a few thoughts. Most of it still applies to some extent. But ... this is the best headset I've ever had for my purpose, and I still can't find anything better. I don't talk on the phone any other way. Better? Noise cancellation and sound quality has been good on most of the 11 I've owned (yes, 11). I think some were counterfeits. Everyone can understand me on the other end, and many I've talked to had no clue I was going down the road (even with the windows down). The last one I bought was in December of 2022. I have two that still work fine. I don't know if the most recent failure is one of the more recent purchases, or a very old one. It literally wore out. The last two that failed lost their skins. I bought my first one in April of 2016. I only have one reason for not upgrading to the 5200. I despise micro-USB. I love the magnet connector for these. I can just reach up and pull it off the charge cable and put it on my ear while driving with minimal distraction. I carry two on the truck within reach so that when one battery gets low the other is right there. I can even snap the charger on the headset without having to see it. Try that with micro-USB. So, if you have time and patience to fiddle with micro-USB, by all means get the 5200. It's a better headset in every way, except for that. Poly seems to have migrated this headset over much better than they had at the beginning of 2023. There's a new app, and it works. I haven't tried to update the headset online with a PC since the end of 2022. If Poly would update this headset's internals, and leave the size, shape, and charger intact, I'd pay more for that one than another one of these. If I knew that they had, I'd be buying one from their website. There are numerous SKUs of this headset. There's no way for us mere mortals to know what the differences are, if any. I suspect that one or two of the FFP models were counterfeit, but I'm going to gamble again. The warranty will be out long before any problems become apparent. Then I'll buy another one ... or the Voyager Legend 2024. I am buying another one so I'll have two spares. Only 2 of the 11 are left. I started keeping one at home too. My wife is still using a 5200, but she has a couple of these ... somewhere. Previously (circa January 2023): I think I've purchased my last Legend, even though I haven't tested it yet. It's time to find something better, and that's going to be hard. My ear fits these too well. Be aware that this headset appears to no longer be fully supported online. Plantronics is now Poly. I just downloaded the latest version of Plantronics Hub from Poly's support site, which appears to be the remnants of Plantronics support site. When I run the Plantronics Hub and try to update the headset I get, "Plantronics Hub is unable to connect to the server." I suspect that the update server no longer exists, though I can't be sure. The most recent firmware version is v.109, and may be the last one. That doesn't take away from the quality and usefulness of the headset at all. It's still the best noise-cancelling headset I can comfortably wear. Driving a truck I wear one all the time. Having said all that, I have had issues with some of the ones I've purchased more recently, and my wife has too. Some of them don't cancel noise as well as others, though they all come up as the same product, and the same firmware version. Early on, they were all flawless. Lately, they're not. We've had a couple that failed before we managed to destroy them ourselves. And it's possible that more modern devices don't connect as well to the older version of bluetooth these support. This is a very good legacy product. Last note: My wife has one of the newer 5200s, and didn't like it nearly as well as these.

AMAZING headset!! Yes, it is a little pricey but well worth the cost. I was a little reluctant to spend $80 on a headset, but I am very happy that I made the plunge. I am a field Communications Technician out in the field, driving my work truck all day. I use my headset 12 to 13 hours a day so I need a good quality, good hands-free operation, and most importantly, a comfortable head set with great battery life, and this head set does it all!! As long as I am not sweating allot (don't want to short out the head set) I am able to keep this head set on for my entire day (13 hours) without any discomfort. I actually forget that I am wearing it. I need to use 2 phones throughout my day, all day (one wok owned I Phone, and my personal Droid) and this headset stays connected to both phones flawlessly. Over the last 10 years I have had at least 12 different headsets, from nearly every manufacturer but I have never had a headset that did not have difficulties when using 2 phones at the same time. The sound quality is perfect for music, radio, and phone. I setup surround sound for my music and I am AMAZED!! It sounds like I have a speaker in each ear. I don't know how they do this, but I was amazed!! The hands free features work flawlessly. For the most part, I don't have to touch my phone at all. I hit the call button on the boom, say, "Call Dispatch", the headset replies "Call Dispatch", I say yes, and the phone calls dispatch. If I get a call while I am driving, the phone rings and I can say "answer" or "ignore". The head set has a separate volume button which may seem unimportant, but it's not. It is very important when driving a company vehicle all day. There is no fumbling around trying to lower or increase volume while driving. I just picked up my headset to check the status... I had the headset on from 7:30 AM till 7:00PM yesterday, I used it all day to keep in touch with my companies dispatch and to pre-call customers. I left the headset on all night and right now, 20 hours from last using it and there is 4 hours of talk-time left!!! Keep in mind, I listen to my favorite radio station through my Droid phone during the day too. When a call comes through, or I make a call, the radio automatically lowers the volume. When I am done with the call my talk radio volume comes back to where I had it set previously. Granted, spending $80 on an item that is easily lost or broken is a difficult decision for the average worker-bee. But, if you use your phone to communicate throughout your work day, especially while driving, this is the headset to purchase. So far, I have not found one little negative feature.

I purchased a cheaper plantronics bluetooth headset locally and was very disappointed with the sound quality. I decided to try this one, and I'm glad I did. The different charger is not a huge deal for me, though I do plan to get the hard case soon (as it doesn't come with any kind of case) and the hard case uses a micro USB charger like the rest of my electronics. Good things: I was really skeptical about the sensor working well to change between the headset and the phone during phone calls. It has surprised me in a good way. It changes almost flawlessly. (The almost is that I grabbed the headset with my fingers in a certain spot and it thought it was on my ear so transferred back. But I let go and it went right back to my phone.) I even turned the bluetooth on from my phone and turned the headset on in the middle of a call (was off when I received the call) and the call transferred to the headset without a problem when I put it on. The sound quality is really good. I wouldn't say awesome, but I have no real problems with it. The voice commands work really well. I do speak a bit louder, but I'm not sure that I have to? The other headset I tried I had to practically scream at. This one I don't have to. Even with background noise and wind about 20 mph this headset performs well. Others can hear me just fine. I haven't tried it on one of our 60mph wind days, but I'm not sure anything could drown that out! Not so good things: The headset size for the over-the-ear part is not adjustable, so if you have smaller ears it will not fit as well. This causes the headset to rest mostly on the part that goes into my ear. It doesn't fit so well. However, it usually stays on so it is something I'm willing to live with. I have thought to try to fill in the upper part of the gap, but I'm not sure if that would throw off the sensors. This headset is not so comfortable with glasses. I do wear contacts, but since I bought this to use mainly while driving, sunglasses do present a challenge. It does still work, but is a bit more to maneuver. The volume is a little off, or at least just to me. The volume for calls is loud for me. I can't seem to get it to go low enough. However when I go to use the voice dialing or listen to the headset info (such as battery) the volume is really low on that. So the phone calls are much louder than the headset's own audio. This is great if you are in a noisy environment and have to hear the call, but not so great when you want to lessen the strain on your ear in a quiet area. Overall I'm very happy with this headset and would purchase again. It does what I need it to do, and the battery does seem to last. I'm not sure it lasts the advertised 7 hours, but it does last a long time. I haven't timed it.

First off, a little about me and my BT needs. I own a small business and need to both keep my hands free and keep working while fielding a low to moderate call volume during an average day... and I work outside. I also carry two phones, personal and business, and want both connected. In the evenings I usually play or work on the computer for an hour or two after my wife goes to bed and used to use a wired headset so I wouldn't get in trouble for keeping her awake ;) When I checked reviews pre-purchase it was the sound/call quality that sold me on the Legend, and I was willing to accept the bigger bulkier (or so I expected) size as a trade off. What I have found is that the call quality is every bit as crazy good and clear as I'd hoped, but that my concerns about the bulk were really for nothing. Yes, the unit itself is much bigger than many BT devices out there, but the design is really really clever. The extra size sits behind your ear and you can barely see it or feel it. The "boom" mic that projects is actually quite sleek, I think. Other devices may BE smaller, but the legend "appears" just as small when on. I don't know how clear that explanation was, but suffice to say that I got the great call quality I'd hoped for/expected, and I got the added bonus of being very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the look. Sound quality... friends, customers, and my wife have all commented on how much better the sound from the Legend is than my previous BT devices. I DO agree with some of the reviewers who mentioned that the max volume is lacking. I would definitely like to be able to crank it up more at times. i find, however, that if I simply tweak the fit of the ear bud I can get the effect of the increased volume that I need. Connectivity... The first day I must admit the unit was 'wonky' w.r.t. pairing and connecting, but installing the latest firmware seemed to do the trick for the most part. As some users point out, there do seem to be occasional pairing/connecting 'glitches'. I have to manually re-connect either my phone or PC. This is a nuisance, yes, but relatively minor, as most of the time connections are super fast and flawless. This is definitely an area for improvement, because having to re-connect manually is annoying, albeit easy to do. The controls... they are a little small and finicky to use, but at least they are intelligently placed. Once you get familiar with the unit they are easy to use. Charging.... the magnetic charger is a relatively no-value-added gimmick. A standard micro usb like virtually all other devices use would have been WAY more practical. That's a pretty big negative, since it means that I'm constantly worried about losing the one and only charging cable I have. I hate non-standard stuff for no purpose! Also, the included charging cord is super short, which prevents you from using the headset while charging it. It might not be a good idea to do so, but I'd like to have the option. OVERALL... the positives FAR outweigh the negatives. I rated the Legend five stars not because it is perfect, but because despite its shortcomings it is a fantastic bluetooth headset with flawless sound and I love it!

I will say here that (1) the voyager legend is an excellent piece of hardware and (2) I find there might be few improvements in software. -I use this while riding on a bicycle. I begin to have difficulty hearing the other end - whether its a person or just the music on my phone - when I reach 20 mph on days with relatively still wind. I start to hear wind over the music at 15 mph. By the time I can't hear the person on the other end, I am going 30 mph with my face straight forward. -I've been in a steady down-pour for roughly and hour, such to the point that my clothing and hair were soaked. The Voyager Legend did not cease to function, and its performance did not decrease. If you look it up on the vendor's website, they'll say that the legend has a p2 protection system, or a nano-coating of water repellent (http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend#overview). It's under the heading of "moisture protection." Now, into the software: -I have not noticed an effective transfer from the phone to the legend when playing music. If you're expecting it to pause music should you only remove it from your ear, you'll sometimes be disappointed. Their claims as to how it works for an incoming phone call, however, are on point - if you pick up the Legend while your phone is ringing and put it on your ear, it picks up. -The voice command feature is not very good, although that might well be the fault of my particular phone and not the headset's software. My particular complaint is telling the phone to call "such and such" is often misinterpreted as a completely different number. -My headset arrived (I bought it used) arrived and did not have all the voice commands that are in the manual. Also, since I bought it used, I didn't get the features that come with it new. I did not get the charging case or the computer usb for pairing to the headset. I received only the headset and the charging cord. **UPDATE** I purchased this in June 2015; it is now January 2016. It has been 7 months. The headset still functions well. It did glitch in such a way that the other party could not understand me, and sometimes I can't understand them. This happened fewer than 10 times, and most of the time it functions perfectly. Talk time has not degraded noticeably since its purchase; there is no charge port damage due to the magnetic charging clip. At some point I managed to get an air bubble underneath the rubberish skin that has yet to go away, but it doesn't affect anything and the water resistant seal is still operational. Sound quality, for the most part, is excellent, although I have a habit of paying less attention to my enunciation when I'm using the bluetooth. I do not use the headset with great frequency now, although I used to use it a lot to listen to music.

Product works well, but it starts to come apart at the tip of the mouth piece, it’s started separating after about a month, had to put a drop of super glue on the tip. So far so good. Bought February,2 2026 Started coming apart April,4 2026 Would be five stars if it wasn’t for the defective part.

I absolutely loved it ,everything was great ,and it had that last number call back that I hadn't had in years and instead of playing my loud Dixie ringtone in my ear when I received a call it would say answer or ignore .I had it for two days and I was talking to a friend of mine for 30 minutes and after we hung up I called my supervisor and it lost connection .I tried numerous times to reconnect it but to no avail .I made my phone forget it and tried to repair it but now it was really lost .I even did a hard reset on my phone but still won't connect .I had a old Bluetooth and it paired no problem ,I even made my phone forget it and it reconnected .Very disappointed in legend .I had a poly 50 legend before this and I had to talk really loud when I called someone or they called me because it would cancel my voice . Why did Plantronics quit making the best Bluetooth of all times and go to these stupid big ones that won't stay in your ear .I have bull dogged calves before with old ones and they never fell out of my ear . the other thing I absolutely loved on the legend compared to the 50 was that it stayed in my ear better ,not great but better than the 50. I called Amazon and they are sending me a replacement and hopefully maybe I just got a bad one .if the replacement last longer than two days it will be better .

This is easily the best bluetooth headset I've ever used. I have had the pleasure of testing out many different bluetooth models for various manufacturers, and the issue I always run into is comfort. I have small ears so the over the ear designs are always falling off, and the ones that rely on an earbud alone to stay in place have always been too big to fit properly and end up popping out as well. While the "default" earbud that comes with the headset is too big for my ear, it includes two other sizes, one smaller and one larger. The smaller one fits well and the foam replacements you can buy here on Amazon fit even better. I have worn this for hours while talking to my fiance on a long road trip and it stayed comfortable the entire time and never fell off once. Comfort and fit is a big deal to me, but call quality is also extremely important. I've tried calling many different people, on various different phones. All reported that I came through loud and clear, which is a big deal for me because I tend to speak softly and if I don't have a boom right in front of my mouth, I'm often not heard well or at all. The boom on the Voyager Legend, even though it doesn't come anywhere near my mouth, is able to pick up my voice easily and deliver it clearly. I also did a few tests to try out the background noise filtration and I am absolutely amazed. I called my fiance while in a car with 3 other people talking and laughing with each other and noise playing quite loudly. He reported that he heard none of it, only some muffled sounds he couldn't distinguish but weren't at all distracting or obtrusive. I didn't quite believe him, so I tested it myself in a similar scenario and was very surprised at how well it blocks out everything but the caller's voice. It's a great feature if you're constantly on the go and around other people. I am buying one for him now because every time he's driving in his Mustang, I can barely hear him over the noise of the car, especially when he's running the AC. Incoming call quality is also superb. I had been using Apple earbuds with my iPhone 6 Plus for months because none of my other headsets were comfortable for long periods of time or stayed in place. I had been craving a wireless headset as I tend to talk a lot throughout the day and I don't like being tied down to my phone. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I had my earbuds and/or iPhone yanked away because I got hooked on something. The Voyager Legend is so light and comfortable, I completely forget it's there until I get an incoming call. I wasn't sure if I'd be okay with wearing it all the time due to wanting to avoid the whole techie nerd look, but even with the extended boom, my long, dark hair covers it almost entirely. Even when it doesn't, I don't think it looks bad at all. In fact, it's the nicest looking bluetooth headset I've seen. The Voyager Legend doesn't skimp on other features, either. You have access to a completely hands free device at all times. When a call comes in, you will be told who is calling and then asked if you want to answer the call. You can say "answer" or "ignore". You can also push the call button to answer as well as disconnect. Pushing the talk button while not on a call will prompt you for a voice command. If you have an iPhone, you can hold the call button to activate Siri. The mute button also has multiple functions. It can mute/unmute the call and can also pause or resume music playback. It's nothing super fancy, but it's all I need. One of my favorite features is the auto answer/disconnect feature when the headset is put on or taken off. If I have the headset in my purse and I get a call, I can put it on and it answers the call automatically. Another huge bonus for me was purchasing the optional charging case. The Voyager Legend provides an estimated 7 hours talk time and it seems to hold true to that. However, I take a lot of road trips and I needed a way to charge it on the go. The charge case charges in 90 minutes and will recharge your headset twice on a single charge. It's fairly compact and protects the headset very well with it's hard shell, so it's perfect to toss in my purse. It charges the headset pretty quickly. From what I've seen, you can't use the headset while it's charging so this was a must have for me. I also purchased the desktop charger which holds the headset in place nicely so there's no fear of it accidentally getting under something and getting broken. Even if the extra chargers aren't needed, an extra charging cable is highly recommended. It uses a magnetic charger, much like the MacBook chargers, and can only be charged with the included cable (unless you purchase the charge case). The included cable is extremely short, but you can buy a spare for cheap here on Amazon and it's much longer. It's always nice to have a back up, especially for such a unique cable that can't be found in most local stores if you happen to lose your original one. Overall, it was a great purchase and I'm so glad to have it. My other headsets are collecting dust now!

These have drastically improved. Better linkage for charger, it stays connected, always a full charge after plugged in. It's a little heavier, therefore more durable. It doesn't disconnect constantly like the older versions, much more clearer.

Larga dura ion de batería y buena calidad de sonido. El detalle es he el diseño de la oreja fue pensado para una oreja grande, de hombre. Resulta grande para la oreja de una mujer de estatura promedio.

The best, no surrounding sound, I still have it, i broke it (it is hold by the wires) and still works properly! Amazing
