These two factors left us constantly readjusting the earpiece in our ear. On top of this, the wing that goes behind the ear-normally the component that is meant to pin a headset to your ear-is bulky and heavy, so it sort of just hangs back there, rather than serving as a stabilizing function. We found that because the silicon earpad is harder and less flexible than foam-style eartips, it didn’t conform to our ear and left uncomfortable pressure points in certain angles. Because of the flashy design and the water resistance, we expected this to be a tight fit-capable of being worn on a jog.
PLANTRONICS EARPIECE BLUETOOTH
Top 3 Bluetooth Headsets On the Market Comfort: Pretty loose and a bit awkwardĪs we mentioned, one of the biggest drawbacks for the 5200 series is that its design, like a couple other Plantronics counterparts, isn’t as tight and solid as we’d expect. If your ear is big enough, it won’t be that noticeable as it’s tucked behind, but it is a clunky design component to keep in mind. Just like the Voyager Legend series, there’s a super-thick (about half-an-inch) behind-the-ear part that is bulky and heavy. The real issue with the design is with the back housing where the battery and most of the components are.
This is mostly in line with the other earpieces in the space, but we found that the flashy color scheme made the boom mic appear longer than it actually is.
PLANTRONICS EARPIECE DRIVER
The boom mic component measures just under three inches, while the diameter of the housing for the earpiece driver is about half-an-inch.
If you’re looking to be inconspicuous, color-wise, this isn’t the headset for you. But, the shininess of the boom mic is probably the most eye-catching. The black and silver color scheme on the 5200 is accented by dramatic pops of red both under the silicon ear tip and on the metallic multi-function button. The 5200 is probably the most striking headset available in the this single-ear Bluetooth headset space. Lifewire / Jason Schneider Design: A bold, sporty headset with a bulky housing
