With the plethora of bluetooth earpieces on the market, how does one narrow the choices down? Well, the Plantronics Marque M155 hopes to distance itself by targeting smartphone users.

To do so, the Marque M155 comes with an app for iPhone and Android users to assist with setup. It wears a sleek and stylish look and weighs a svelte 7g. Best of all, it takes a lot of its design cues from the iPhone. Everything - from the colours, the silver edges, the volume rocker and call button on the front are reminiscent of the iPhone. No prizes for guessing who their target market is.

The Marque M155 delivers its pristine sound through clear earpieces, however, with the usual three fixed sizes - small, medium and large - users with odd-shaped ears like myself have trouble finding a perfect fit. You can also end up sounding muddy at times to people, even in a quiet room.

Jumping on the voice recognition bandwagon, the Marque M155 is voice activated. You can say "Answer" to pick up calls, which usually works after a few tries. You can also manage emails, texts, and even update social media using your voice with its Vocalyst service, which is free for a year.

The Plantronics Marque M155 is available in stores now for S$119. ALVIN CHONG
