I forgot about that magnetic charging connector on the Legend. Another reason why I dind't care for it. Plantronics probably realised that it wasn't popular with consumers either since the next model in the Voyager series (Edge) went back to using the convenient Micro USB charger. That and the magnetic cable was incredibly and frustratingly short. At least with the Edge, I can use any old and long Micro USB cable to charge. I actually got my mother a super cheap bluetooth headset on eBay for $13.00 a while back and but for the fact that it has that power button that I don't like and not a switch that I prefer, I would have given it more consideration. The one thing nice about her little earpiece is that it comes with an extra earbud that you can connect to the Micro USB connector on the earpiece and turn it into a stereo headset. I havent' come across other models with this feature. Funny because it's some generic super cheap unbranded headset from China, but it works well for her.

I prefer standard connectors myself when all things are equal, but I'll put up with a proprietary connector if I like the device enough, such as my iPhone. On 06/21/2015 01:47 AM, M.
