The Discovery will have you looking fashionable and turning heads. View larger. | Comfort and Crisp Sound for Your Ear Measuring 2.7 x 1.0 x 0.9 inches and weighing a mere 0.3 ounces, you'll barely know that the Discovery 925 is in your ear. But with its striking onyx-black and silver color combination and minimalist features, this one-of-a-kind earpiece will surely get you noticed--in a good way. (The earpiece is also available in alchemy-gold and cerise-pink). The Discovery 925 is designed to follow the contours of your cheek. It features a filtered glass bead that's been blasted and anodized for a ceramic high-gloss elegant finish. The ultra-lightweight design offers a secure comfortable fit so you can stay connected hands-free for hours. And the earpiece includes three uniquely shaped gel eartips--small, medium and large--that are designed to conform snugly to the contours of your ear without the need for an earloop stabilizer, so nothing will interfere with earrings or eyewear. Once you place the earpiece into your ear, making calls is as simple as it gets. It has a multi-function button on the diamond-shaped face that powers the device, dials or releases calls, triggers voice dialing, or kicks the earpiece into pairing mode. A second button lets you control the volume. For voice clarity, a 1.9-inch boom brings the microphone closer to your mouth to reduce background noise as you talk. The boom mic also houses the earpiece's antenna. And finally, a micro-USB port is located on the side of the earpiece for charging. AudioIQ Noise Control and On-the-Go Charging The Discovery 925 features AudioIQ technology that blocks out annoying background noise in most situations, giving you clear calls every time. The earpiece lets you roam up to 33 feet from your Bluetooth phone and it supports multipoint technology, which allows two Bluetooth devices to be paired to the earpiece. This means you can receive and make calls from two of your phones without having to switch earpieces. The Discovery 925 runs on a rechargeable lithium ion battery that gives you up to five hours of talk time and up to seven days of standby time from a single charge. And when the earpiece is not in use, you can store it in its unique color-coordinated case, which performs double duty with its sturdy but stylish construction and its integrated rechargeable battery. Not only will the case protect the earpiece from everyday hazards, but it will also keep your earpiece charged. Simply charge the case directly with the included AC charger or USB cable--with or without the earpiece in place--and when fully charged, it will have enough power provide your earpiece up to five hours of talk time for when you need it. Of course you can still charge the ear piece directly with the AC charger, but with this convenient recharging case, you don't have to worry about your earpiece running out of power while you're on the go. Just place your earpiece in the case, and safely store it in your handbag or briefcase. When you're ready to use it again, it will be fully charged with enough power for up to five hours of talk time. The Discovery 925 is backed by a Plantronics 1-year limited warranty. What's in the Box Bluetooth earpiece, charging case, AC charger, USB cable, and three eartips (S, M, L).

Fantastic but pricey. April 8, 2008 200 out of 208 found this review helpful
OK, I splurged. I usually don't spend this much on a headset. I've actually owned a ton of them over the past few years (check out some of my older reviews). Most of them were cheap sub-$30 headsets. Let me just say, "I can't believe the difference."
After doing some research here and on Plantronics' website, I pulled the trigger. I'm using this with two phones; my Sony Ericsson W580i and my BlackBerry 8310.
Pros:
- First off, the sound quality of this headset is awesome. It is crystal-clear on my end and zero-complaints on the other. No more sounding like I'm in a tunnel. I assume this is the AudioIQ technology doing it's thing.
- Secondly, the headset is super-lightweight and this equals comfort. I was skeptical at first about just popping this in my ear without a hook. Once I picked the right size ear-thingy, it fits perfect and I can barely notice it's there. Even after a few hours of wearing it (I know, I'm a geek) I barely notice it. I can do the "shake-your-head" test and this stays in place.
Cons:
- The charging "case" is cool, but I have a hard time getting the headset out of it sometimes. Thankfully, I can just plug the adapter right into the headset, bypassing the need for the extra bulk.
- The price; but honestly, after spending more on a collection of "less impressive" headsets over the past few years, you really do get what you pay for.
Highly recommended for it's sharp looks, perfect clarity and ultra-comfort.
Sleek, sexy little headset doesn't sacrifice form or function June 2, 2008 70 out of 79 found this review helpful
The search for the perfect Bluetooth headset is never-ending, it seems. In the last 3 years, I've gone through more brands and models than I care to think about. Now I've tried the Plantronics Discovery 925, and tell you with no hesitation that it is in the top two of those I have used.
The Plantronics Discovery 925 is more an earpiece than a headset, with an earbud that fits inside the ear with surprising comfort, rather than an earloop that hangs over the ear. This means that it is much more comfortable to wear with eyeglasses and/or sunglasses. Indeed it is so comfortable that I sometimes forget I am wearing it.
Pairing the device is a snap, and while my old Jabra headset frequently lost its pairing (weekly at least), the Plantronics Discovery 925 has not yet.
The sound quality is tremendous. Audio is crystal clear from both my side and on the caller's side, if my friends and family are to be believed. LOL
Plantronics touts this headset as having great noise reduction technology, and I will say that it is better in the noise reduction arena than all but one of the headsets I've tried in the past. The only headset I have personally tried that surpasses the Plantronics Discovery 925 in noise reduction is the Jawbone headset.
What I really love about the Discovery 925 is the charging options. This headset comes with both an AC charger cable and a USB charger cable. Not only that, it comes with a compact charging case. You can charge the headset either in the case or directly, using the same cables for each. The beauty of the case is that it charges alongside the headset when you have it plugged in to electrical power. Then when your headset's battery dies, you simply put the headset in the case to recharge on the go - WITHOUT connecting either the case or the headset to electrical current. I've purposely let the headset's charge completely drain and charged it with the case, and found it worked admirably. And to top it all off, the Plantronics Discovery 925 charges fully in just a couple of hours, whether via electrical current or the portable charge case.
Now here is where I prove what a woman I can be. The last quality I want to point out is purely cosmetic - its appearance. This is by far the most attractive headset I've ever seen. It's design almost looks like a cufflink or tie clip. It is sleek, innocuous, and comes in three different colors: black, gold, and pink. Personally, I like the more unobtrusive black model myself, but for those who want a little bit livelier hue, the other options work too. Yeah, I know, the appearance is a pretty frivolous virtue, but as often as we wear these things nowadays, it is nice to find a Bluetooth headset that doesn't have to trade form for function.
For the best in noise reduction, Jawbone's Bluetooth headset is the overall winner, but Plantronics Discovery 925 runs a very close second in this category. In all other categories, I would choose Plantronics as the number one headset.

Finally a bluetooth headset that works! April 8, 2008 23 out of 25 found this review helpful
This new headset stayed in my ear, did not turn it's self off, did not turn my cell phone bluetooth off. Other headsets could not handle background noise, but this one works flawlessly in light wind or car noise with a/c running. The multiple charging options are great also. Well worth the extra price. Try all ear pieces, and both ears. I made the mistake of thinking I new which size was needed and caused myself problems. Using it with BlackBerry Pearl. My last headset was the Voyager 510 and it was not nearly as good.
Way better than the others! April 15, 2008 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I recieved this product earlier in the month. It was the replacement to my Plantronics 655, which was a replacement to my Motorola H500 headset. The Plantronics 925 blows the others away. It fits in the ear perfectly without the annoying ear hook, and you can do a lot of moving around without worrying about it falling out at all. It has superior sound and distance than my previous headsets, and the microphone picks up my voice perfectly. I know that the price tag is a little steep for a headset, but this one is worth it. It's like the Mercedes AMG of bluetooth headsets!
Plantronics 925 versus Jawbone (version 1) June 27, 2008 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I agonized over these two items before picking the Plantronics 925.
Why Jawbone is better (in my opinion): (1) better noise canceling capability (if there is some turbulence in the air, you can hear it with the 925 but not Jawbone). (2) more masculine design (though the 925 black version is slightly more masculine, the overall design looks like a hair pin. the gold & cerise designs gear toward the female fashionistas). (3) cheaper (by a few bucks if you shop around).
Why Plantronics 925 is better (in my opinion): (1) smaller, lighter, & fits nicely in your ear. (2) gel ear tip works very well. doesn't feel insecure like the Jawbone. i have free range of movement without feeling like it's going to fall off. (3) ambidextrous - can change from right to left ear without adjustment (unlike Jawbone). (4) the charging case provides extra juice on the run (however, it looks girly (sincerest apology to the female readers). the micro-USB port is an inconvenience as you cannot use your standard USB charging cable and I have many of those around the house already). (5) very fast syncing. (6) audio quality of the 925 and Jawbone is superior compared to their peers. (7) distinct design. some of my friends have the Jawbone, but none has the Plantronics 925 yet.
\\0--0--0--0--0--0 after three months' use - - - (+) very light-weight. comfortable. hardly feel in your ear(s) at all. (+) good volume. (+) there is a useful function where you can (re)establish BT connectivity after answering call by pressing talk button on the phone rather than the headset, allow easy (re)connection if you accidentally answer the call using the phone and not the headset, especially on the road. (-) headset battery runs out after ~2 of non-use. (-) the recharger holder is nice but i don't use EVER after 2 months. a hassle to carry / insert / remove. only useful if you go on a 2-3 day trip to the boondocks. (-) i dropped it once from 3-ft height. got scratched. but still works.\
