Better Then the 510? Better Then the 510?

I dont think so, I had (but lost) 2 510's which were great BT headsets. First off, why did they change the design? The 510 design was unique, while this one just follows along the boom mic trend of many manufacturers. The 510 fit perfectly due to its unique design and because it allowed the earpiece to go in the ear, It would fit and I could hear it perfectly. To that end, the thing came with 3 different sizes and if you chose you could use it without... thats 4 different ways to wear it in one ear. The 520 limits you to a hit or miss earpiece that while better than most, does not give the flexiblity that the 510 had. Voice quality is good... if you are in close proximity to the paired device and if you dont have the 520 in line of sight, you may hear garbling due to sags in reception, this is not a problem I recall with either one of the 510's I had. Looks... gimmicky, faux carbon fiber? kinda large and hangs off the side of your cheek like a wide open barn door. (ok that last one is kinda harsh and not very helpful) I really do find that it does kinda hang there, I prefer my headset to sit close to my cheek, even rest upon it, if it doesnt then it looks and feels strange. So why do I have the 520? well I bought it because I read many great things about it at several websites, and like many people were so awestruck with the performace of the 510 in most aspects that I figured that the 520 which is the upgrade should be far better. However this didnt prove to be the case, I've had it for less than a week, I'll be returning it to get a replacement 510 (for the 3rd time). I dont doubt that this is a good headset from a great company, I dont think they garnered all those positive reviews by chance. But this one is simply not the one for me, hopefully the 530 will be the one. 3/5 stars.

In my opinion 520 seems to be better than 510 because1. Form Factor - 520 is less bulky2. Dropped calls - 520 seems to have less dropped calls compared to 5103. Sound Quality - Comparable on both4. Noise Cancellation - 520 holds an edge over 510 in supressing background noise as well as it works better in windy conditions5. Fit - The 510 however might have slight advantage in terms of fit over 520

Definitely get the 2213. The media is different (better), the flow rate is higher (better), maintenance is easier and less frequent (better)and for the price difference it is well worth it.

Your question is unanswerable, as I don't have other than the Tenergy Premium D batteries. Can't compare what I don't have. It's a question of whether one believes the advertised rating and description. It's a question of whether one buys both, compares for durability, sustained duration of charge, etc. Then, toss the inferior product and henceforth invest in the better one.

I own a 510 and think the second lens is a huge advantage--assuming you have a need for a telephoto--which I do. If you don't either would be fine. If you do as well, compare prices with comparable lenses and see ifyou feel the Xsi deserves the even greater price premium--it would not for me

That depends on what you mean by better! Each of those lights has a few features that are unique. If you are looking for the light that is brighter and has better throw, then the TK75 is a better choice. However if you are interested in something that is a little more portable and features separately adjustable LEDs, you might consider the TK51.

I'm not sure. I don't have a 510. It is a standard Garmin quarter turn type if that helps.

Plantronics said yes when I talked to them today. I ordered the 510 and will let you know on Tuesday.

Regrettably, I don't know. I sent the entire kit back because it really does not fit correctly on the 510.

I've used both, it has more torque at the lower settings but is also heavier and gets hot faster.

I appreciate the reviews, and have my decision: a 2nd 510 it is. I've had a 510 for about 1 and 1/2 years, and it finally fell apart. I admit I treated it a bit rough, throwing into my bag, where it would get tossed around and beat up. But the sound quality never waivered, and I loved it the entire time. It was probably the 5th headset over the years, and it was the only one comfortable, stayed on without having to mess with it, and had excellent sound quality. Now that I need to buy again I was evaluating upgrading to the 520, but can't imagine it would be any better, except perhaps more slim-line (but not worth the other benefits in my view.

Go with the 520xl. It has a PA output and a switch just be sure to turn squelch all the way up before hitting the switch. The 510xl doesn't have PA output as far as I know

hi,the NP-FV100 battery is the better choice since it is not as thick and obtrusive.

BETTER what?? better (quality) sound, better pounding base, better quality materials, better warranty, ????? The 13.5 is larger and pushes more air. The other thing you will want to find out is, what is the RMS rating difference between te two. I never look at the "peak "watts. Means nothing to me. The RMS is the thing to look at. I only buy the best, JL AUDIO. I have NEVER had any problems! Some body may have a louder sounding system, BUT its the quality of sound that counts. I have never had American Base before. Never had any reason to try them. I ALWAYS tell everybody "you can't go wrong with JL AUDIO.

The only difference that I know is the 5200 is a little better, not by much you may get an additional 5 min longer run time on the battery. Hope that helps

Can't compare the two models, but I can report on the 5100. This is my dream sewing machine. I've sewn on Singer, Brother and Home. I've liked my Singers, but the Janome is my dream. I'm recently retired and plan to keep my Janome's pedal "to the metal."

I always liked the 450, The 450 is proven to last ....but honestly the EV sounds cleaner. For now I will choose the EV.
