...gamers value the brand of plantronics as high quality and proficient for their needs.

This meant that I was set on ...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset

Plantronics Audio 90 Headset I bought this headset about a week ago after having some phenomenally bad luck with previous microphones and VoIP products. I wanted something that I could use with VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol - Skype is an example of this), that would leave my hands free, that had good sound quality and that would not cause a long time delay between my speaking and my voice being heard at the other end. Prior to this, I have ...
...the second. Looking at Plantronics website, I was impressed by the clarity of the site layout and information displayed there, as well as the downloadable data sheets and detailed specifications. I was struggling to choose between the DSP-500, Plantronics top USB headset and more suitable for gaming, and the Audio 90, their Line-In/Microphone version and tailored for voice recognition and communication applications. In the end, I opted for the Audio ...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset

Well this review is going to have a mixed bag of pro's and con's! To start with, in my opinion these produce some of the best sound ive heard from headphones; excellent quality. I like to listen to music (LOUD) and with plenty of bass and for that, these are great (and saves on calls from angry neighbours too). There's nothing more that irritates me than having headphones that produce 'flat' music, and in that sense im very picky. So it no surprise ...
...'Plantronics audio 90 Bass Headset'! Apart from listening to (LOUD) music, I have been known to play the odd game of counter-strike with voice-comm operation (the second reason for purchase). And (so I have been told), produce a clear and crisp output of my voice! And from configuring voice communication software, I have noticed my voice reproduction has been very clear. BUT most importantly and probably the top concern of any would be headphone ...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset

I purchased one of these headsets last November from the local Netto store for £20; they were branded with MSN logo which I didn't mind. The reason I purchased these were because they looked quite nice, they looked good quality and well the main reason was the price. The headset has a head band attached to it at the top to make it sit more comfortably on your head which is a nice idea, the microphone is a nice size to and adjustable to a certain ...
...it down and after use slide it back up. The earpieces are well padded and feel comfortable, also there microphone mute switch and volume control attached to the wire which is handy! Overall I can 99.9% guarantee that for £20 you wont be wasting your money with this headset, its comfy, quite nice looking, great clear sound, good bass and also the microphone is nice and clear too. The one thing I find a disadvantage is that they can get a little un-comfy ...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset

I've had these headphones for more than two years now, they've withstood MORE than everyday useage, they've been dropped, kicked and stood on, they've been exposed to heat, cold, rain and snow but they still work!! I must admit before i continue praising them that i am the only person that i know that has managed to keep the same pair of a90s in working condition for more than 6 months. Either everyone else is much more brutal with their headset ...
...pretty damn sturdy. Sound quality wise, the headphones have a nice sound to them, perfect for gaming and online "voice com" chats. They're also suprisingly nice for listening to music too. Quite good bass responce and no distortion at higher volumes. The microphone is top notch too, using Skype and Ventrilo people have always described my voice as "loud and clear". The one negative is the lack of padded band - the molded rubber does tend to leave ...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset

...I treated myself to the Plantronics Audio 90, and immediately I had perfect clarity of all the game sounds, and of all the voices of my friends, and they could now hear me perfectly. Very comfortable to wear. The headset is not flimsy but has a decent weight to it without being overly heavy, and a feeling of quality. There is a volume up/down wheel on a panel on the cable. Also a mute switch. Occasionally the mute switch would catch on my clothes ...
...a USB version, as this Plantronics Audio 90 requires 2 plugs to be fitted in to the pc (at the rear on mine). One for hearing sound, the other for the microphone. And that makes it a pain for switching back to speakers... as you have to mess around at the back of your pc changing the plugs about. However as it still works fine, I'm not going to buy a USB version for the sake of it. Sometimes you have to treat yourself to quality as its best choice ...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset

I have owned over 3 pair's of these. Only disappointing factor with this headset is that the wire on the left ear where the microphone is usually snaps after a year and a bit if you move the microphone up and down to much, so it's best to just leave it down. The thing that made me come back to this headset 3 time's was the excellent sound quality and pin point precssion for gaming. I play at the highest level of gaming and need the best sound i can ...
...that's what this headset has given me. All 3 times. For the price and the quality i dont really care about having to pay £20 every year to get excellent sound. I hope this is to of help to you all thinking about purchasing this headset for gaming. :-) ...
