What Car? guide to hands-free phone sets - Plantronics Explorer 340

04 December 2006
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.
