Great Noise Cancellation!,
My husband and I bought two different headsets – the Icon for him, and the Plantronics Voyager Pro for me. While the Voyager pro is more comfortable and secure, in my opinion, the Icon is much more discrete, more fashionable (something I didn’t think I would care about initially), and pairs better with my phone (I have a Samsung Sunburst – SGH-A697). It also pairs excellent with my husband’s Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate).
The noise cancellation is outstanding, and I was able to hear my husband loud and clear while he was driving down the interstate with the windows down, while our home audio system was cranked up playing music, and while a video game was playing in the background (this is one of the problems with the Voyager Pro, which has a different noise cancellation system. Video games voices are picked up loud and clear for some reason). The only problem we found was when my husband was in front of his computer’s speaker with the speakers’ volume turned up loud.
The volume control on the headset is automatic, but unlike other reviews I read, there IS a way to go through volume presets to turn it up or down. It explains how to change it in the manual (something my husband likes to read as soon as he receives any new toy) using the multi-function key.
As for the color, it is so dark, it appears black. You can tell is it blue in sunlight. The ridge detail is so fine, it is also hard to notice unless you look at it in the light.
Interestingly, I have had trouble fitting this in my ear. I suppose I have strange ears, but I have to use the largest earbud cover, and I cannot use the hook. If I try to use the largest earbud plus hook, it doesn’t fit in my ear correctly and falls out. Even with the largest earbud only, I have to literally squish the thing as hard as I can into my ear canal so it doesn’t fall out (the middle one just falls out, so it isn’t a size issue). I know some people think the hook provides a more secure fit, but it wasn’t the case for me. My husband uses the medium size (without hook), and although he has to squish it into his ear as well, he doesn’t have as much of an issue as I do.
Regardless of the fit, the sound quality was better with the Icon than with the Voyager Pro, which had a general fuzzy quality, though not for people on the other end. My husband didn’t experience exactly the same fuzzy quality when the Voyager Pro was paired with his Galaxy S, so I am chalking it up to the pairing with my phone. Because of that and because of the problems I found with noise cancellation, I’m going to get an Icon myself and have returned the Voyager Pro.

Nice headset – but it is NOT blue (denim) as shown.,
Why did I pay more for the blue one? Because I wanted the blue one. However, what I got is a Black headset with such a small touch of blue it is barely discernible in direct sunlight at noon. Goodness knows what photographer lights and computer touch up they used to make the above photo. Yes, I expected a relatively dark blue; it’s called denim after all, but nothing like the dark side of the moon.
And yes, this review is about style. I’ll leave the technology comments to others – there are plenty of those to choose.

Pretty Good,
This is definitely a step up from my previous bluetooth ear piece. I like the various options of ear pieces to make for a custom fit. I find the need to use the hook with the tight fitting ear piece – it makes for a good combo. I can hear the other person even while driving on the freeway with my window down. That’s what makes this a 5-star headset for me. The only weird thing is the battery seems to go dead quickly if i don’t plug it in every night – the package says 14 days of standby time, but I’ve had the battery drain twice after only 2 days of standby. But as long as I plug it in every night, it works great! No complaints!
