What's great about it: Inexpensive, Comfortable, Well Made
What's not so great: No noise cancellation
This is a comfortable lightweight device that allows both conversation and media connection. The included silicon fittings works well for just about everyone and allow the wearer a secure fit during all kinds of activities. (I am a golfer and used it during swings without knocking it loose)
Very easy to use and connect and works well with S-Voice.
Incoming sounds quality is excellent. Ambient noise becomes an issue for the call recipient especially with high-end noises. (This is common with single and dual mic devices)
Overall this is the best device I have found for under $75. I returned this device because I am frequently outdoors and need better noise cancellation. My wife is still using this device while driving and working indoors and loves it.

What's great about it: Very comfortable, Nice battery life and features, Unobtrusive
What's not so great: Does not use MotoSpeak!
Lasts better than 6 hours of heavy use without charging before needing to be plugged into its charging case which provides 3 charges and fully charges the device in about 15 minutes!
Noise cancelation is adequate. Works better with wind and ambients than machinery. Pickup is great, especially for lack of a boom. This also makes it discreet enough for me to use in class without suspicion. Music input is good too. Sound quality is good. This is not comparable to high end headphones but why would you expect HD sound from a mono output device?
Comfort is unprecedented! I often forget that I have it in until I receive a call or message. However, the in ear speaker is large and even the smallest fitting does not work in my ear. I replaced with a Plantronics in ear piece and it now works perfectly.
Connectivity is good to all devices and works well with S-Voice on my Galaxy S-4 but S-Voice isn't the best audio interface. Motorola does not make their high-end devices comparable with MotoSpeak! Really!? This makes replying to texts a bit more difficult.
Overall this is one of the best Bluetooth devices available.

These headphones are not really up to Bose sound quality standards. They sound great if you are in a quiet room but there is no sound isolation. I used them to commute on my bicycle and could not turn them up enough to hear the music clearly of moderate traffic. There is probably not a practical application for these. Buy over the ear or a different brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Is it normal for a BT device to lose connection when I store my phone in my pocket?
I recently purchased the Plantronics Marque 2 Bluetooth device and have had issues with the connection being lost when my phone is not in direct line of sight with the device or when I store the phone in my pocket. Is this normal of these types of devices?
It is most likely the bluetooth transmitter in your phone. The signal should allow you at least that distance. I have found that removing the bluetooth connection profile and restarting your device can fix this issue. For continued problems the best thing to do is back up your device using a cloud and reset your device. This will clear any software issues. There is a possibility that your Marque 2 has a defective transmitter but outside of returning it or sending it in on the warranty, your device is a good place to start. To verify, I would connect to other devices and test the range for those before deciding that your Marque 2 is defective. I hope this helps.

Does the Samsung VG-KBD2000 - Keyboard - Work with this model
You need to verify your model number to determine the year that your model was made. If it is a 2013 or older it does not have bluetooth capability and will therefore not work with the keyboard. You would need a bluetooth enabling device to use it with this TV. The bluetooth models are the 2014's and were being sold as of this past summer in the US.
