The Plantronics Explorer 240 stands out for its lightness and comfort, weighing only 11 g, allowing for prolonged use without fatigue. Its standby time of 168 hours is impressive, ensuring almost constant availability without the need for frequent recharging.

Overall, it is an interesting choice for those who prioritize comfort and battery life, while being aware of the limitations related to technology and design.
