Really wanted to like it but couldn't

I bought this headset mainly for office conference calls and making phone calls while driving in the car. So the three most important things for me (in this order) are: 1. My voice quality to the listener 2. Noise cancelling (while driving and at the airports) and 3. Listener's voice quality (loudness and clarity). I was really looking forward to this headphone working well on these dimensions given the rave reviews, price tag, Plantronics' previous products and the website description/claims.
I have to say that I'm quite disappointed and had to return the headsets because of the following:
1. Static noise: I have iPhone 6s and I keep getting static at my end (the listener does not hear that). This is mainly while using "HD Voice" which is basically unusable to minimize static (had to switch it off permanently). No resetting/repairing or reinstalling the Plantronics app helped. No new firmware is available currently to fix this issue
2. Loudness: The loudness of the call (at my end when others are speaking) is poor even at max volume. Especially if you are in a car etc., it sometimes is hard to hear the other person. This is a big deal as you obviously don't want to miss pieces during a crucial conference call etc.
3. Fit: I wish Plantronics will make in-ear earpieces for headphones like these. The current earpieces simply get placed on to the ear canal versus fit in. This effects the sound quality, comfort ... and the fit is wobbly versus secure
On the plus side, the noise cancelling is good as the folks on the other side noticed considerable improvement in my voice/ ambient noise as I changed from my car Bluetooth to these while driving.
Thanks to Best Buy for no hassle return at the store. I really wanted to have these work out but the collection of the above issues proved to be a deal breaker

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Polk Audio MC Series MC80 8" 2-way in-ceiling speaker features an 8" polymer composite woofer with Dynamic Balance technology to ensure clear, powerful sound. The swivel tweeter and wide dispersion design ensure room-filling sound.
Overall
4 out of 5
4 out of 5Not bad, but you can do better for a little more

I'm putting in a whole house audio system with Control4. I mostly bought Polk MC80's but I bought some of these for a few isolated areas mostly because I wasn't to see what the different was in sound.
Don't get me know these sounds great, but the MC80's are much better and aren't that much more expensive. And if you catch a deal at the right time and get a price match you can even get them for about the same price.
