Ingeniously Simple Design
Minimal in size, maximum in performance, the Discovery 975 offers an elegant simplicity that conceals its advanced sound technologies. For starters, an easy-to-access button offers one-touch control over powering the earpiece on and off and answering and ending calls. A subtle white indicator light flashes only once when the earpiece is powered on. The earpiece features a dedicated volume control that's also a handy mute control. Voice prompts keep you in the know when your Bluetooth connection is lost, the earpiece is on mute, or the battery is running low. The Discovery 975 also features a patented gel ear tip that offers a supremely comfortable and secure fit. The flexible silicone tip makes it effortless to take the earpiece on and off while the unique shape of the tip provides a stable fit that doesn't interfere with glasses. 
The innovative case charges your earpiece while storing it. An LCD shows the battery and power levels. View larger. |
Ingeniously Simple Connectivity: QuickPair and Multi-Point Technology
You've already got enough to think about without having to worry about how to connect your earpiece to your cell phone. Thanks to QuickPair technology and universal connectivity, pairing the Discovery 975 with virtually any Bluetooth-enabled phone couldn't be any easier.Simply turn your phone's Bluetooth feature on, turn the earpiece on, and follow the commands on your phone. It's that simple. The Discovery 975 also features multipoint technology, so you can pair it with two Bluetooth devices such as your personal mobile phone and your work smartphone, keeping you connected wherever you are. Ingeniously Advanced AudioIQ2 and WindSmart Technologies
The superior sound performance of the Discovery 975 begins with dual-mic AudioIQ2 technology. Dual microphones simultaneously capture your voice and cancel background noise so you can be heard clearly, while the earpiece's 20-band equalizer delivers rich, natural voice quality. Meanwhile, AudioIQ2 technology automatically adjusts incoming calls to clear, comfortable listening levels. When you're outside in windy conditions, don't panic. Plantronics' advanced WindSmart technology offers three layers of protection against the elements: grooved vents deflect the wind, acoustic fabrics block the wind, and electronic filters remove wind noise. Ingenious On-the-Go Charging Triples Your Talk Time
Perfect for airplane travel or extended down-time while you're on the road, the Discovery 975 includes a handsome and innovative carrying case with an internal battery that charges your earpiece while you store it. This means that you can stay connected until it's time to shut your cell phone down, and the case will recharge the earpiece while it’s being stored. When fully charged, the case's internal battery has enough power to triple your earpiece's overall talk/standby time while you're traveling. An easy-to-read LCD shows the battery and earpiece levels, and it also displays a Bluetooth symbol if it is connected to a phone. A handy eject button makes it easy to pop the earpiece out of the case. Sounding good every time doesn't get much easier or more ingenious than this. The Discovery 975 earpiece is backed by Plantronics' one-year limited warranty. What's in the Box

Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset July 30, 2010
Melissa (Sacramento, CA, US)
My only complaint with the Plantronics Discovery is that it is tricky to me to turn off and on. You press the face of the headset so my thumb covers the area where a little light comes on (which, btw, is hard to see in bright light), white when turning it on, red when turning it off. You also have to press hard and hold for many seconds. I'm often not sure if it is on or off.
This, however, is my second (lost the first after a couple of years) so I guess this issue has not dissuaded me from purchasing again. I've never had any mechanical problems. Just wish Plantronics would come up with better way to turn it off an on.
 Best Bluetooth yet! July 29, 2010
Rick Yeager (Phila, PA USA)
After owning a number of Bluetooth headsets I had almost given up finding one that actually works well. The 975 works very well. The sound quality is good both ways. Set-up and discovery with my Palm Pre was easy.
I had a Plantronics 655 which worked Ok except in noisy or windy environments. I also had Jawbone 2 which sounded hollow on my end and did not do well unless the tip is pressed against the jaw to sense jaw vibrations.
I have had the 975 for a while and it is working great. Callers don't know that I'm on my headset any more. It seems to do well when I'm driving and when I'm outdoors. The range is longer than any Bluetooth I have had before.
The only thing I would change is the ear tip options and adding an ear loop stabilizer, even though it doesn't really need it. I prefer the old Jabra type shaped ear tips. That being said this unit is comfortable in my ear unless I wear it for prolonged periods like over two hours. I'm used to using an ear loop and am surprised that the 975 doesn't fall out. I find that I don't have to jam it in my ear, like I thought I would, to keep it stable. Meanwhile I just noticed one of the pictures showing that the ear loop for the 925 fits the 975 perfectly.
MAKE SURE THE BOOM IS POINTED AT YOUR MOUTH!
I have noticed that the microphone boom must be pointed directly towards your mouth for the best sound quality and for outside noise canceling to work properly. This is certainly logical and could be a reason that some users wouldn't get proper operation.
My unit came as OEM packaging and did include all pieces that are listed in the retail package. It had 3 ear tips and the battery charging holder.
Plantronics 975 July 29, 2010
Edward P. Burgess Jr. (Elizabethtown, KY United States)
I used a Plantronics 925 for a couple years and upgraded to the 975. Don't know what I'd do without it. Lightweight, (I sometimes forget it's in my ear) great sound quality and noise cancelling. People I talk to can't even tell I'm on a headset. Convenient charger case. If you get too far from your phone it tells you. Great product.

0 out of 2 found this review helpful
As with all the plantronics bluetooth headset that I have purchase (3 in the passsed 6 years) this one is just like the other ones look good, hears good,and still have some part that is cheap won't last etc. This one keeps falling out of your ear. can't talk to anyone for three minutes because it will fall out of your ear. Can't chew gum because it will falll out of you ear. Any movement of your jaw will casue this to fall out of you ear. You spend a lot of time picking this thing off the floor & ground.
Light weight long lasting July 27, 2010
Samantha A. Dick (Central Massachusetts, USA)
