Plantronics Voyager Edge BT Headset & Charging Case

My previous bluetooth headset was the Jawbone Era so I can compare the two. One odd thing on delivery, the two day delivery indicated it would take 3 days to delivery. On the third day I received an Amazon message indicated the package was delivered to my house. However it did not show up until the next day, 4 days after ordering it. What I really did not like was indicating it was delivered when it was not. That is a problem since it hides the truth from Amazon. That is not part of the 5 star of this review. Shipping I would give 1 star. The Voyager is around 2.75" long while the Era is around 2" long. Although the Voyager is 3/4" longer it has a small narrow boom. So the longer size is not much of an issue. It does come with a charge/carry case but it is a little large to carry in your pocket but I like the idea of protecting it with a case. And it is easy to keep the Voyager charged, just pop it in the case and it charges. The Era needs to be charged after a couple work meetings but need to wait till I get to an AC outlet. Seems like I charged the Era often but always had enough talk time. I do like the extra talk time on the Voyager, I don't worry about having enough time for the next conference call. The battery life is much longer on the Voyager but I never really had an issue with the Era. The ear piece in the Voyager is about the same as the one I use on the Era. The Era came with several different ear pieces. The Voyage ear piece is ok to me, no problem but I don't wear it all day long either. When I'm done with a call I remove it. The Voyager voice pickup is good, I tested it leaving a message for another phone line while talking in the Voyager. Then I walked up to a TV set playing at a normal level while talking. I could easily hear my voice all the way up to the TV but you can hear the TV sound in the background. Sort of like bits and pieces of TV sound. This is where I thought the Era did a better job. While using the Voyager talking with people while standing outside, I was told the conversation was clear and no noise from outside was picked up. I'm not sure how well it would do while driving in a car and dealing with loud trucks and horns beeping, etc. The Voyager instructions mention a procedure to recalibrate the microphone. I suppose background noise could be further reduced with some calibration. Will check more into that part. One feature I like on the Voyager is the mute button. The Era did not have that and I would always have to turn the phone on, enter the security code, then go to the phone page and press mute to turn it on/off. It was a pain. The Voyage has a mute button on the headset which makes it much easier. I use the mute a lot in conference calls but not much for personal use. There is no noticeable weight difference between the Voyager and the Era headsets. I know they are not identical in weight but both feel the same weight. The charge port on the Voyager is an easy fit while the Era was a typical micro USB which was a struggle to connect and disconnect. It seems like that part of the Era has the most wear. Overall I like the Voyager and think it is close enough to the sound quality of the Era. One thing I notice is that where you use the headset is important to the quality. If you are around a lot of noisy areas or if your calls require extreme quiet that would perhaps change which headset is better. I rarely talk in front of any loud external noise so I'm mostly interested in blocking the softer sounds around me. One comment I often was told with the Era is that people thought I was in a quiet room talking to them. In some cases I was just sitting in an open area with general noise of people. I have not had that comment from anyone using the Voyager but maybe I need to calibrate the pickup sensor.
