  Summary: I have had to return this to the retailer once, and just got off the phone after arguing with Plantronics about a free shipper to warranty it for a second return.
  
  The unit will not hold a charge. The first one would only hold a charge for 3 hours and I refunded/repurchased in 2 weeks. The second one has done okay but within 3 months the same thing has happened, it will not hold a charge. They are using totally JUNK batteries in these units. Go and look at the other reviews all over online before buying this, then DON'T BUY IT. It is not worth 5 dollars.
  
  The on-off button is just WEIRD, you have to hold it down for 2 SECONDS ONLY or it won't shut off/turn on. If you hold it longer, it starts flashing thinking you are trying to resync it to the receiver. The initial (new) charge takes about 20 hours, not 10, and after fully charging it regularly over a couple months (or less), forget it, it doesn't work for more than 2 hours.

  Summary: I considered this top of the line when I purchased it. I wasn't disappointed. But, its function did degrade over time. I make skype conference calls all day long, so this has many 100's or even 1000's of hours of use. I didn't see any degradation in talk time. But, with headsets offering greater distance and sound quality, I'd keep searching if you are looking to use this for Skype calls.
