Hi, I would describe the piece that goes into your ear as almost oval
shaped. If you can imagine an oval shape, but one end of the oval is
cornered. Sort of like a sideways padlock. Speaking of a padlock, they
have a loop at the top. So, imagine turning it sideways. The ear piece
which goes into your ear has a loop thing as well. This part can latch
onto the ridge of your ear in the front and it actually helps it stay
on. I understand that some Bose earphones use this design as well. As
for using it with Siri, I think it's hit and miss. I recently had the
Plantronics M165, which has 7 hours of talk time and is far newer than
the M50, yet the call quality is not that good, and I wanted something
with more talk time. The M50 is currently the number 1 bluetooth
earphone sold on amazon, and it has more than a 4-star rating as
compared to other Plantronics models like the M165, M155, and M55. It's
also cheaper right now at around $30 which is far better than $50 or $80
like some others. From what I've read so far, the only reason why people
don't always give it a 5 star rating is because of how comfortable it
might be. Most say it's fine, but some say it's not. So, it highly
depends on what shape your ears have. I'll be receiving mine in the next
few days and can report back. I'm getting this as a replacement over the
Motorola S11 headphones I purchased back in October. Don't even get me
started there. The music is great on them, but the call quality got
worse as time passed, and they have a design flaw in the back center of
the headset.
Hope that helps.

Hello, I bought this earpiece about a Month ago.
It's shape is a small rectangle, smaller than my previous plantronics
model. The piece that goes in your ear is not round. I'm not sure how
to describe it. The ear loop feels pretty sturdy to me, and softer than
my previous model.
On one edge of the device is a volume rocker, on the other edge is a
on/off switch. The back of the device is smooth, but it is a button.
I'd have to say, I prefer the actually button on my previous model.
At the top of the device is where you plug in your charger. You can
also have the earpiece on either ear, by gently rotating the ear loop.
So far, I'm quite happy with this device. I love the voice prompts when
I turn it on/off, and I like how the battery level is displayed in my
iPhone's status bar. Keep in mind, it is reported to not work great
with Siri. For some reason it won't complete the command. You need to
physically have your phone in hand to tap the button.
HTH,

Hi Everyone;
Could someone please describe the form factor of the Plantronics M50?
How is it shaped?
What buttons are on it?
Can you charge it with any micro-usb charger?
And, how sturdy is the ear loop!
Thanks in advance.
