Plantronics Explorer 340 Cost £30
For Good control layout; simple functions
Against Not the most comfortable
Verdict Good overall, but not the best value for money
Small and functional, the Explorer is a simple headset at a low price. You don't get any extras other than a mains charger, though.
The unit is easy enough to fit, but it takes a bit of jiggling to get it comfortable. The controls are easy to use, despite the same switch being used to adjust the volume and to answer calls.
Sound performance is adequate. It handles ambient noise well enough, but there is a little background hiss.
