Plantronics Voyager Legend

Advantages: Excellent sound quality in both directions, ease of dressing and wearing, very convenient charger with a magnet (no need to stick, leaned and hanging, charging), a long time, not buggy.

Disadvantages: Not very long range.

Comment: I used to use Plantronics Voyager (low moisture resistance, glyuchnost), Jabra Supreme (extremely inconvenient mounting on the ear), Jabra Wave (I can not hear). When choosing a headset, there was no question of price, it was necessary to choose the highest quality item. Sometimes it seemed that there was no headset in the world for my requirements. But after many hours of reading reviews about different headsets, I chose the Plantronics Voyager Legend, and this turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

Advantages: Worthy of praise!
Charging decently holds,
speaks Russian, how much time is left if you ask)).
Great sound, volume control!
Convenience!
Ergonomics!
Released in Russian !!!
The team understands clearly, without glitches! The voice is pleasant.
Pairing with two devices is also very fast and clear.

Disadvantages: I do not rely on ridiculous sometimes reviews, but I am writing my own opinion personally.
Is that one fault is still present.
If you want to reflash the device, change the language (And you need it), it is possible only if you have the ADMINISTRATOR'S RIGHTS.

Comment: He took and did not regret what he spent the money.
After a lot of headsets, it was this one that met its expectations.
The virtues indicated above. I can say that you need to install the Russian version on it and then you will be very pleased.


In order to install the software and select the language, go to the manufacturer's website. Note, it is better through the browser CHROM, the application may not start atoms, at the same time there is a translator ... In general, find your device there in the products, scroll down, update the device in blue, click and follow the instructions including the preliminary CHROME translator from Google .
But do this only when you install administrator rights on your computer.

This is done in the following way:
Start-up in the search line -write -cmd, hover the mouse over the shortcut that appears, right-click, select -LOADING THE ADMINISTRATOR, a black window will appear, in this line where the inscription and the default cursor continue with the word net user / active administrator: yes, that's about what happens ---- C: windows / systems / net user Administrator / active: yes, all together. After the enterter, restart the computer, after that it will appear under whom to log in, log in under the admin and do what I wrote, go to the site and act !!!
GOOD LUCK!)) Enter --- net user Administrator / active: yes

Advantages: Basically advantages already listed in the rest of the reviews. For me, the most important ones are:
1 Working hours: honest 7 hours.
2 Listening to me as a subscriber: I often conduct important negotiations, poor voice quality is not acceptable
3 Ease of wearing: I can go into the shower in the headset or go to bed.

Disadvantages: Inconvenient answer button (from the end of the handle)
"Fashionable" but not universal charging - OOOChEN big minus.Because separate wiring for charging (office-home-machine) can be bought spending a lot of time. Well, I have two of them, the issue is resolved, but it is very unreliable to have one wire.

Comment: And now - why do I have two of them ...
I use this line of headsets for 3 years. I have a Voyager, a Voyager HD and two Legend. Here is a photo of my "treasures" http://yadi.sk/d/L-VY4luM4y9rI
I have several employees in my office with these headsets. Therefore, over 3 years I have been in the hands of more than 15 copies. Retrospectively:
The best model is the first. Stability, quality of communication, reliability, universal charging. Voyager HD - from 5 headsets purchased from different batches of all the position sensor glitch: the headset arbitrarily decides that it is not on the ear and falls off the phone (phones, as you understand, are different). Marriage unremovable, put up with him for almost a year, until Legend came out.
Legend is a separate song. I have already the fourth in 3 months. The first is the position sensor glitch as in the previous version. The second - stopped taking exercises. The third after 7 days of use just stopped turning on. Now the fourth, with the updated firmware. From time to time, the "girl" who lives in it tells me that I need to urgently charge the gadget, but the test turns on the charge for a few more hours. I'm used to it already.

In general, the product is good, but raw. I hope in the near future will fix all the glitches. Despite such a terrible story I recommend to buy, in all respects - a great product! The main thing is that the seller gives a guarantee for at least a year, because my experience shows that exchanges are possible.

The latest firmware version solves all the listed glitches by disabling the position sensor. Nevertheless, the legends from time to time (once a quarter somewhere) stop being turned on, I run through the firmware update program (no changes) and work again.

P.S. Yesterday, an employee with the first version of Voyager complained that the charge for 3 hours of conversation was enough and had to be changed. Yeah .... 3.5 years in the mode of permanent use lived headset. I ordered him a legend, because the best in the market is simply no

Advantages: 1. Really light and comfortable to wear.
2. Looks good in dressed condition.
3. The sound quality and transmission is good.
4. Noise reduction cool thing: the interlocutor does not hear that I am in the shop or near the roadway. Only my voice is heard.
5. Cool !!!

After use for a month:
6. I never thought that a headset is so convenient - I wear it even at home, so as not to run around the phone. If you dress correctly, you stop noticing it.
7. I finally understand why you need voice dialing on your phones. Really convenient to call without getting the phone out of the case. With the wind, the voice dialing command disassembles not very. At home, at work, in a car, it is good, the main thing is to speak calmly and clearly (a matter of habit, it is acquired). (I have a blackberry, motorola photon is coming soon - let's see how the headset will go along with the motor walker)
8. Without obstacles beats far, not less than 15 meters.
9. You can listen to music, audio books.
10. Intuitive and clear control.

Disadvantages: 1. Answer still need to train and train.
2. The caller's name would like to be pronounced a little louder - compared to the default phrases, the name sounds quieter (not much, but still).
3. Added a contact name in Latin as a last name in a notebook. Well, ok.

After use for a month:
4. Put the phone in the back pocket of jeans and hear the noise .. Put the phone in the opposite pocket of your jeans and hear the noise. If it is just next to it on the table (or at 20 meters without any obstacles), then everything is ok, if there are jeans in the pocket, which is under the ear, then everything is also ok. In the case of a nabryuchny all the same.
5. 7 hours is unlikely: holds 2-2.5 days with an average or slightly above average use of the phone. Basically - enough.
6. Sharp gusts of wind all the same not completely choke noise.

Comment: The volume is sufficient. Experience using 2 days.

After use for a month:
Despite the minor quibbles, I am very pleased with the purchase.Excellent build quality, interesting design, ease of wearing (the main thing to wear right one). Hands-free, voice dialing, always in touch, + buns such as music, etc. SHUMODAV!

After use within 4 months:
wind noise reduction does not work.
Something happened to the speaker - it began to work VERY quietly, almost inaudible. I do not know whether it will be possible to repair. Somewhat disappointed.

Advantages: The modern continuation of the wonderful voyadger pro headset. It is possible to accept and reject calls by voice, while driving, for example, which was not in voyadger pro. Hours increased + protection against moisture. I believe that these arguments are quite enough to change the headset.

Disadvantages: A new kind of charging. However, it is more convenient than the old one due to the magnet. Hopefully in future generations of Voyadger it will not change again.

Comment: I purchased a headset in connection with the change of the phone. Voyadger pro, having served faithfully for many years, gave out too low a sound with Nokia 720. I’m satisfied with the headset, but since I had to spend time setting up, I decided to write a review to reduce the time for future owners.
1. Instructions: http://www.plantronics.com/media/media-resources/literature/cordless_mobile/voyager-legend_ug_ru.pdf
2. Software for updates and settings: http://www.plantronics.com/us/support/myheadset/updater/.
In my case, on Windows 7 Prof I had to: download the file, disable Kaspersky, run the program as an administrator.
Next, expose the settings as desired, but judging by the experience of other owners, it is better to disable the presence sensor on the ear (Smart Sensors).
We include voice commands if there is a desire to manage incoming calls.
3. Conjugation. It simply did not work, I had to follow the instructions.
Press and hold the call button (on the headset) until you hear the notification "Pairing" ("Pairing"). After that, turn on the phone, and everything is OK.
We allow the phone to exchange data with the headset. If you don’t like something, then later remove the headset from the list of paired devices and reconnect.
I am deeply convinced that for people who talk a lot on the phone, the investment in Voyager Legend is more than justified. I wish you all great communication!

Advantages: - I charge every 7-10 days
- fair reception within a radius of 10 meters (minus walls), sometimes it seems that it catches even further
- I tried to wear for 12-14 hours without a break, my ear does not get tired at all, I completely forget that the headset is worn
- stylish design
- convenient control and buttons, and voice
- nice materials, I love soft-touch :)
- pleasant sound when listening to music through the headset
- included several inserts of different sizes (small, medium and large), you can pick up almost any ear, the largest
- can be worn both on the right and on the left ear

Disadvantages: - maximum volume could be higher
- there was such a joint a couple of times: incoming call, I answered, but for some reason the sound is transferred from the headset to the phone
- pronounces the names of contacts, only if they are written in Latin

Comment: Despite the presence of flaws, I have no complaints about this headset, it is very convenient and performs its direct functions perfectly well. The lack of Russification does not bother me, even if it were, would not use it. Here are just a jamb with contacts (see. 3 paragraph deficiencies). I recommend to everyone who is not afraid of the price. If you believe the reviews, this is one of the best headsets from those that are currently on the market.

Advantages: 1. Excellent battery
2. Voice control
3. Design

Disadvantages: 1. Low volume built-in voice.
2. Charging cable connector.
3. The quality of the built-in voice is much worse compared to previous models.
4. The cost of the cable for charging is more than 700r.

Comment: I have three headsets in my work - voyadger pro, voyadger pro hd, voyadger legend
By comparison, the battery life has increased significantly. Seven hours easily. With my pace an hour and a half a day, enough for a working week.
Conveniently solved the problem of the shutdown button. Previously, it was more difficult, then you can turn off immediately on the ear. In this regard, it becomes necessary to get used to the volume control (the buttons are similar). I guess you need to get used to each headset.
Very, very not a good solution to change the connector. Firstly the cable is short. You put on charging, the cable is short - the headset hangs on the socket strip. Since the connector is not plug-in, but applied, it can easily move, but you will not notice. I've had it a couple of times. You come, and the headset is not ready.
Secondly, the incompatibility of connectors. Earlier, when the headset reported the need to charge, I took a micro usb cable and put it on charge. In the office, at home, in the car - micro usb is not a problem. Now developed a habit. In the morning I checked the charge level, if small, you take the cable with you. Enhanced convenience does not smell. Well, with firmware, you need to control and not breathe - because the connector disappears, there will be trouble.
The inner voice is recorded with low quality. Specially compared with the HD version - heaven and earth. How to compare radio recording with lossless. The inner voice sounds low. In a noisy room (for example, yesterday was in the theater, the noise in the intermission), you can easily not hear the call. In previous versions there was no such trouble.
I have learned to say answer and ignore. I must say that in the mornings I have a Nizhny Novgorod pronon not exactly guessing the desired intonation. By lunchtime it's better :)
A day later, the eldest son (9 years old) approached me and asked: "Dad, why do you sometimes speak English by ear?". Actually, the people around are squinting when you suddenly say "answer" :). I checked - you can talk very quietly, the headset picks up the voice well.
As usual, there are no complaints about the sound quality and hearing. All on top.
ZY I also liked the fact that the pad was made transparent.

Advantages: already described by others

Disadvantages: did not reveal. wish in the comments

Comment: I think it would be more convenient if after turning the headset case to be worn on the right or left ear, the headset would be rigidly fixed.
Lovers-hurry: do not rush to flash, change and twitch. First, carefully read the instructions http://www.plantronics.com/media/media-resources/literature/cordless_mobile/voyager-legend_ug_ru.pdf
And it still does not give you a complete understanding of how it works so to speak in kind. Fumbling a week - you will understand. The most important thing is to understand that the sensor is malfunctioning. This piece is described in the instructions, but how to define it is not. So if you turn it on, but it should be done after you put it on your ear, she is silent about the fact that the phone is connected to the headset, and on the phone you see that there is a connection, then this is exactly the case. without turning it off, put it on that table or something not metallic for 7-10 seconds and put it on, she will say that the connection is established. everything else comes to life. There may be problems with phones with ancient bluetooth profiles. But the headset is not them. I did not flash it and I will not get it until Russian firmware appears. By the way, so that the headset pronounced the caller's name, I duplicated them. in the field the name of the contact is in Russian, in the field the surname is in English, but equally, so as not to be confused when dialing through voice control. Of course, I installed Vokalyst for English speakers, connected SMS and e-mail functions - it is often enough to hear SMS or mail from someone, so as not to be distracted, but they ate in English - the program will read both SMS and mail and if you like Twitter and English-language newspapers ...

Advantages: - light
- loud
- sensitive
- long-playing
- microphones perfectly cut both ambient noise and wind.
Well, the design is more interesting, sleeker than the Voyager Pro + and Voyager HD.

Disadvantages: Proprietary charging - an extra cord with you, which, besides, is nowhere to buy.
Not trained in Russian, although she finds many buyers in Russia.

Comment: Before this headset used models Voyager Pro + and Voyager HD.The first one served 2.5 years faithfully, and the last month was sealed with electrical tape ;-) The second one was returned back to the store after 2 weeks because of a buggy sensor and a failed microphone.
Based on the convenience of using the first one and fearing the second problems, I still took a chance and purchased the Voyager Legend. And what? Two weeks have passed - the sensor and microphone work perfectly! The extra hour of work compared to its predecessors is also a very useful bonus.

Works with Sony Xperia Acro S and iPhone4. What is interesting is that there are no problems with the latter, and Sonya is in trouble - with the previous Bluetooth headsets consumed 3-4% of the power consumption, and with the Legend - as much as 45%! So take a closer look at Android. I hope that this is a bug and it will be fixed.
