Rated 5 out of 5�by ArtieB Great features
Bought this a few weeks ago to replace an older model. The enhancement feature that the call is auto answered when you place the headset on is fantastic!

Rated 4 out of 5�by Lacy Sound quality is great, headband is uncomfortable
I have two of these, a 520 and a 700 series. I like the quality of the sound, it's great for music, webinars and calls. However, the headband seems to have been designed for Frankenstein. When stretched on, the top becomes flat and puts pressure on the top of my head. For all day wear, that can become painful, in spite of the padding.

Rated 5 out of 5 Awesome headset for the price, sound, and fit!
The sound is fantastic, the ear pads do not hurt my ears when I wear my glasses, and for a good price.

Rated 1 out of 5�by FoShoBear What happened..?
What happened? If this is the successor to C420 Plantronics really messed up.
Build quality has gone down, now cheaper plastic is used and it shows, even the metal parts have been replaced with cheap plastic. I'm on my 2nd pair in only 2 months. The old C420 lasted me 4(!) years.
Sound quality is horrible in comparison. I'm not joking when i say these sound like a pair of really cheap iphone ear plugs, where as the c420's were excellent for talk and media consumption. I would even go as far as saying the C420s were close to Koss Porta Pro's after a few hours of burn in time. The C520 are absolutely horrible for any media consumption, forget music. The sound is flat and boring, no characteristics at all and the music disappears into a broken sounding screech.
The comfort is also worse, these are more stiff and has a tighter angle which makes them press really hard on your head. The C420 were excellent in this regard and you could keep them on for 8 hours straight, I cant do 8 minutes in these.
Ive used the C420 over 4 years until they broke, sadly the c420 is no longer made and I now have to stick with these.
Im not exaggerating, i'm very disappointed in these "premium" headphones.
Make the 420 again!
