Has a lot of good features like ability to talk to the phone/ 4 hour talk time, 2 year warranty
do you actually know what is the difference between a brand name items and a china one?
i can say why people would pay $500+ for a Apple or Samsung phone instead of buying some <$50 Chinese mobile phones from eBay?
Chill people, I agree with you. I was just sharing my experiences with BT headsets, I bought cheap and had no problems. Comparing a BT headset to a phone is a little unreasonable considering the complexity differences between the two.
@xxxfbsxxx, Can you actually tell me what is the difference between a brand name item and a china one? Because if you opened up these two devices you will find a battery, a mic, a speaker, some buttons and a BT sender/receiver. There is no OS than can be made crap like a phone, nor a high resolution screen/camera, nor a dual (or more) core cpu. It can't have the memory reduced to near zero like a cheap Chinese phone either.
The only difference IMO is the quality of the battery, and build quality of the device and as I said, I have had no issues. I didn't say "Don't buy this Plantronics device", in fact I said the opposite.
It's pretty hard to compare a cheap Chinese no-brand with Plantronics - as with most things, you get what you pay for. This for $35 is a great deal. I'd choose Jabra over Plantronics but they both make good quality equipment.
Even marvel avengers use plantronics:-P
But the 1 they used is at least 3 yrs old
plantronics have a good reputation, but the 4 hour battery life is a little on the low side these days. For 35 bucks its not a bad buy.
What sort of charger?
Looks like microusb. Good for getting third party cables to charge and such?

Look under accessories. Haven't got mine yet, will be going tomorrow
it looks like its got an apple home button on it - Apple will eventually sue them lol
Apple symbolis a square and this is a circle, but I know what you mean, apple will find any excuse to sue. Unless they designed it to be like that with apple's permission?
I bought one of these (http://dx.com/p/hook-style-stylish-bluetooth-handsfree-heads…) for $12 and its not even the cheapest one available. Works fine so far. $35 to buy local (and get it quicker) is ok, but $75 normally seems a bit steep.
Also you should note that the $35 doesn't include postage which was +$14 for me.
