Free Up Your Hands with the Plantronics Explorer 340 Bluetooth Headset

I have never been a big fan of talking on the phone. What turns me off the most is having to keep my hand up at my ear in order to keep the phone in place. With a baby on the way and other tasks to attend to, my hands are precious and are needed elsewhere. I thought a headset would be a very helpful gadget to have so I could multi-task better. The Plantronics Explorer 340 Bluetooth headset has solved my problems.

I received the Plantronics Explorer 340 as a Christmas gift. This headset is very small and fits nicely around your ear. There is a small piece that fits into your ear. The headset is only a couple of inches long and reaches part way onto the cheek.

The Plantronics Explorer 340 headset has a one-button feature that is very helpful for easy use. You don't have to worry about keeping track of multiple buttons, and hitting the wrong one. The Plantronics Explorer 340 works by using different lengths of button holds or different amounts of button pushes in order to use different headset functions. This can be confusing at first, but once you learn the different combinations it is very helpful and handy. My favorite one button function is using voice recognition. All you have to do is hold the button for a couple of seconds, wait for the beep and then say a name, or whatever voice memo you have entered into your phone. This eliminates the need to pull out your phone and look up a contact, or dial a number.

Another plus of the Plantronics Explorer 340 is its long lasting charge. I use the headset sporadically through the day for personal calls and I leave it on and hooked up to my phone constantly. It lasts through one day with no problem. I have used it up to three days on one charge. If you will be using it more frequently, you may need to charge it a little more often.
