Marnana Bluetooth Headset, Hands-Free Wreless Bluetooth Earpiece with 18 Hours Playtime and Noise Cancelling Mic for iPhone Samsung Android Cell Phone Truck Driver - Black

I needed to replace my PLT E500 which has a weak battery. I wear my headset 15hrs a day so as not to miss call/texts/etc from clients/family/friends. Because I wear it all day, even when working on my car or yardwork I wanted something that is very comfortable. So far it has met all my requirements and I anticipate it will have good battery life but will have to reserve judgement for several months. I haven't used it long enough to know all of the ends and outs, but I am satisfied so far. I wish it were a little more compact (half again larger than my PLT E500), but the price was so great it was well worth the experiment. I would recommend this for the price, loud volume and comfort of wearing.

I give this item a 5 star rating.

I have had the Marnana Bluetooth earpiece for seven days, and it has worked well so far. The light is red when charging and turns blue when full. A fully charged earpiece lasts five days with about 3 to 3.5 hours of talk time a day. I used it until it said, “battery low,” which is about 10 percent of power left. A full charge took about two hours. The sound is clear but lacks bass, and as one reviewer said, “It sounds as if I’m listening with a tin can from a long distance.” It is not suitable for listening to music. While talking on the phone, the sound sometimes was chatty; I could not hear what the other people were saying, and then the sound became clear again. The phone was in my hand, not far away from the earpiece. As for noise canceling, I am not sure how well it works. Other people could hear the wind blows when I was in my backyard on a windy day.I used the clear color ear tip and ear hook. The ear tip fits snuggly in my ear. This one does not have a funnel tip that goes into my ear canal, allowing me to hear the surrounding sound while I am on the phone. The ear hook is semi-rigid, making it easy to put on the ear one-handed.The earpiece is slightly bigger and heavier than my older SEED Bluetooth earpiece. I felt uncomfortable after wearing it for more than two hours. Overall, for $26.99, this Marnana Bluetooth earpiece is a good one. I like it. It comes with three ear tips and two hooks. It fits well; has long battery life; sounds good for phone calls; I wish the sound has more bass. It paired with my Samsung cell phone easily. I hope it lasts long.

I purchased this BT earpiece to replace a Plantronics BT that finally stopped charging for my mother. The pairing of the device with her phone was straightforward. This was very nice as she can often times be technologically challenged and I serve as her personal tech-assistant and she did not need any help from me to pair the device with her phone. The sound quality is okay though it does seem to pick up a lot more of the background noise around the user during calls than her previous Plantronics BT.The biggest complaint both she and I have, is that there is no clear indication of whether the device is ON or OFF; the light does comes on (briefly) when powering it on and then it goes out. The main button functions for multiple purposes: On/Off, Answer/Hang-up, Pairing, etc.. So for my 75yo mother who might forget when she takes the earpiece out of her ear to turn it off, then puts it in her purse and a new phone call comes in, she thinks something is wrong with her phone since she can't hear anything as the BT connection is still active in her purse. (Now I admit that is user error but a clear indication light might help her know it is still on.)Additionally, when powering on the device, there is simply a musical series of ascending tones (descending tones at power off) with no indication of how much battery life it has -- all my previous experience with BT earpieces have given an indication of approximate hours remaining on the battery when initially turned on. Given these two complaints -- lack of clear on/off and battery life -- I will be continuing to search out a replacement for this Marnana BT; one with a separate on/off switch at least.

I NEVER write reviews. Most of them are obviously, not to mention painfully, fake, and many times the review is next to useless.A review that says "This is great", or "I like the color" is trivial.But I'll tell you...I currently live in a city in Arizona, and about five years ago I lost my Marnana earpiece out in the garden.It fell off, I dropped it, who knows. It was gone.In the interim, I bought two other wireless earpieces, neither was that great, they broke, terrible sound, bad interface, they were replaced...But I like using an earpiece in combination with my phone so I kept looking online.So, two and a half years go by, and I found the Marnana earpiece out in the garden--actually one of my kids found it.It had been through two desert summers, two monsoon rainy seasons, and two desert winters--OUTSIDE!After brushing off the dirt, and wiping it down with a disinfectant wipe, I tried to power it on, expecting nothing.It powered up, connected to my phone, and had 40 percent charge remaining!That, is a great product, I don't care where you are from.It lasted for almost another entire year, and when it finally refused to recharge or power up, you can be sure my next wireless earpiece purchase was a Marnana product.I actually have it on my desk, it no longer works but throwing it away just seems wrong.As long as this company keeps making devices, they have at least one loyal customer.
