 Sound isn't good and poor design August 17, 2008
I bought one of these for my wife and one for me. I thought it would be great since it had a carrying case. With the case I thought there would be less likelyhood of misplacing the bluetooth. The problem is the way it fits into the carrying case, you really can't clip it on your belt or the edge of your pants without causing the earpiece to come loose and fall off along with the ear hook. Consequently you end of having to stick not only the carrying case but also the bluetooth in your pocket so you don't lose it. However when you carry it in yor pocket, the earpiece and ear loop will also work loose causing you to have to quickly snap it back together so you can take a phone call. It's nice that you can switch out earpiece sizes but it comes apart way too easy. The sound quality when listening to other people isn't good. It makes their voices sound distorted when compared to less expensive earpieces. The battery doesn't last long either. I'm not on the phone all day, maybe 2 hours on a long day but I have yet to get through an entire day without needing to recharge it. On the upside, it charges on a mini usb charger so it uses the same charger as my phone and the blue tooth unit is extremely small. My wife who says I am hard on things like phones and earpieces says hers works just fine for her. I plan on returning mine, she plans on keeping hers. This is the first bluetooth she has used on a consistant basis and likes the fact that she can have it on and listen to her media player on her phone while she is working, whereas I have owned several earpieces and I am more concerned about overall functionality. I am getting a Blueant Z9i and will let you know how that one works out.
 great clarity August 15, 2008
I haven't always been pleased with the sound clarity of my different bluetooth devices...but this one has been great.

I got the new Blackberry Curve and my old Plantronics 510 was working fine until it crashed. So I thought I would try a different headset. The HS 655 looked more compact and the description seemed OK. I like it and I don't. The connection time is faster for calls and it is certainly smaller and lighter.
It does seem to fit comfortably in the ear and can be worn for exteneded periods of time with little to no discomfort. The choice of three different ear pieces is also nice. It is nice that the headset and handset both have the USB ports for charging.
The clarity for calls is slightly better but not always. The connecting button on the headset and volume controls are easy to use.
Bad news: While in the car or outside and background noise or wind makes it very difficult to hear on both ends of the call. The volume is not as good as the Plantronic which is probably the most disappointing.
The ear hook and ear piece some off quite easily if put in a pocket or left laying around. Maybe that is just me though.
All in all, I would buy the Plantronic again, but not this one.
