Plantronics Explorer 370

The Plantronics Explorer 370 Bluetooth headset is no ordinary model, as it is tough in every way possible, being not only resistant to water, but shock and dust as well. This nifty headset waas put through the paces by folks at Wired, and they have thrown it at walls, buried it under sand, dunking it in beer (!), and even dropped it down a flight of stairs many times over, with the 370 still working just fine. You get nearly 7 hours of talk time and 8 days of standby time, while the QuickPair feature puts the headset into pairing mode on first start. Unfortunately, the Plantronics Explorer 370 isn’t much to look at, and the buttons aren’t a joy to press. If you’re of the butter fingers type, then this $80 gadget will be well spent.
