Great Sound with Excellent Call Quality
By hifi80sman on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019
Took a few calls and was told I sounded loud and clear. I told the caller I was planning on using this for business calls and they indicated it sounded perfect for that use. There also seems to a side tone, so you're not yelling with the buds in your ears. The sound is good and the typical Plantronics signature (big bass, slightly pulled back/"cleaned up" mid range, and a splash of treble). If you've heard the BackBeat Pro 2 Over Ear, it's fairly similar. They have touch and physical controls as well that can be customized to a certain extent. Quite a few features that cater to the professional user, so I can see these as a daily driver for the office. Fit is great and very comfortable. The physical buttons are easy to press and are positioned in a way that the buds don't jam into your ear canal. Firmware updates available via App. Nice compact case. I just wish it was USB-C, but all-in-all, this is a very solid package. By contrast, the RHA TrueConnect (same price) has a much nicer case (metal, USB-C), but it's a larger and not as travel friendly. And just forget about calls (echos, "reverb" sounding). They also don't fit nearly as well due to the bulbous design, with far fewer bells & whistles. The bass of the BackBeat Pro 5100 is better than the RHA TrueConnect.

Will not pare with iPhone 8
By KP on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024
I bought these to pare with my iPhone 8. Although it says it’s compatible, it won’t work. I was able to pare it with my MacBook Pro, but I bought this to work with my phone. I tried turning off blue tooth on my mac, charging fully, holding close, everything, but no luck. I’ll keep them to use with my laptop, but will still need to shop for earbuds for my phone. I’ll try another company; although this brand was recommended by a reliable source, my experience is poor. PS - there is no support or helpful videos regarding paring fails.
