Plantronics Headset voice tube!

Advantages: Sleek, original design, great handsfree device
Disadvantages: can fall off head now and then, also quite flimsy

...COST: £6.28 PLACE OF PURCHASE: The Link BRAND: Plantronics SIZE: 11cm These are wicked new handsfree devices suitable for all mobiles, and was released earlier this year. I've been using mine whenever I get the chance and have since didtched the motorola headset I was previously using. They come in 6 different colours and ave a silver ear piece and a silver voice piece end. You wear it by wrapping around your ear and have the bottom bit poking out from under your lobe and towards you lips. The unique design of this little gadget is meant for ultimate comfort and so is flexiable and adjustable for all ear sizes and head shapes. Which I personally thought was great as I've got rater small ears and the handsfree gizmoz I'd tried before where way too big and always caused me pain. My favourite part about this is not only does it...

Review of Plantronics Headset voice tube Colour: Clear

Plantronics .Audio 45 - Headset

Advantages: Relatively Cheap.
Disadvantages: Under performer...not overly comfortable to wear.

...Plantronics is one of the biggest names in headsets and has a wide range of products. The .Audio 45 is lightweight with a very flexible headband, although it is a little on the flimsy side and not overly attractive. The speaker drivers are constructed from hard plastic and are covered by thin pads. As a result, they aren't very comfortable to wear. Seperate cables come down from both sides, increasing the chances of getting yourself in a tangle. This headset can be connected either by USB or standard analog connections. However, the microphone plug lacks colour coding, so you're forced to peer at the symbols on the connectors to find out which is which. this isn't too much of an issue, but it makes things more difficult when you're scrabbling about the back of your comnputer. There is a shirt clip, and a volume control...

plantronics .FLAWEDio 90

Advantages: Cable clip, Volume control
Disadvantages: Short Life Span

...heard from word of mouth that plantronics were a good brand so I had no hesitation in going through my options for a plantronics headset. After much deliberation I decided on the audio 90 headset because they were larger than the cheaper alternatives and the microphone on small headsets seem slightly filmsy. I purchased the headset for £35 in argos 2 years ago. [FIRST IMPRESSIONS] The first impressions I had of the headset were that they seemed more advanced than alot of the generic brand headsets on the market at the time. The headset just seemed ergomically friendly and was designed to suit everyone. The first problem I had was that they used vacuum packaging for the headset. This was very difficult to tear apart and required a sharp object to slice it open and get the headset out. The first noticeable thing is that the cable that...

Review of Plantronics CS 60 Headset

Plantronics .Audio 45 Skype Bundle Headset

Advantages: lets you talk for free
Disadvantages: not the most comfortable / adjustable headphones

...Having been introduced to Skype (www.skype.com) recently by a colleague, I though I'd get myself a headset to make full use of this service - ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OF SKYPE ITSELF. This pack consists of a set of headphones with an lenglth and angle adjustable (but not very) boom microphone on one side with an in-line mute/volume control switch on the nice long cable (with a clip to attach it to your shirt) that ends in a pair of jack plugs - one to plus in to your PC's headphone socket, and one to plug into the microphone socket. Also in the box is an adaptor that converts those jack plugs to a USB plus - great if your PC doesn't have a soundcard (and hence no jack plug sockets), or, like me and my laptop, you want to plus the headset into a docking station to allow hassle free docking/undocking. The headset itself is OK...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 45 Headset

The ultimate headset

Advantages: Folds away
Disadvantages: None I know of

...The Plantronics DSP 400 headset is the perfect headset for anyone interested in Podcast making, internet calling or video gaming. I have owned this headset for many years now and it is a fantastic product. At the time, it cost £50 although I got it for £30. You'll be able to pick it up for a lot less now, and its certainly worth it! I use mine mainly for internet calling with my friends and the sound quality of the earphones is exemplary. In addition, the headset is noise canceling meaning that whilst you speak down it, the headset filters out that frustrating background noise most microphones give you. The headset also folds away so that it is small and can be stored easily. The USB plug is superior to the green and pink mini-jacks as it is digital, improving quality, and USB ports are usually easier to get to. Finally...

Review of Plantronics DSP 400 Headset

Plantronics Voyager 510

Advantages: Lightweight, Easy To Use & Reliable
Disadvantages: None As Yet

...This is a very reasonable headset for the £40 paid for it. It can be used on both ears quite easily. This can be done by twisting the over-ear piece to accommodate which ear is preferred. The button configuration on the headset is convenient for both left and right handed people. I went for this headset because I bought a different Plantronics headset about a year ago and I could find no faults with it. So far, I can find no faults with the new 510. I find that the sound quality is extremely good, and it allows you to hear the conversation easily while driving along in the car. Also what I find very convenient is the additional cable that allows you to charge the headset in the car from a cigarette lighter. In the box was also 2 other additional ear pieces, that can be changed for every ear. It is lightweight and easy to carry...

Review of Plantronics Voyager 510 Headset

on headsets

Advantages: comfy all day wear
Disadvantages: loud feedback

...This headset is a bit expensive for its quality. Although i bought mine outside the country for a considerable lesser price, had i known better, i would have bought a wireless one. It is still functional after two years. I lost both of the voice tube microphone cover though and i think that is whats causing too much echo when i talk and too much mic sensitivity. That also causes alot of feed back so i have to press on mute all the time, and everytime i am done speaking, to avoid the feedbacks. On the upside it supports all Plantronics amplifiers and USB-to-headset adapters so i guess i just have to get one. It is also comfortable to wear for long hours. I would not recommend to get leatherette ear cushions, that made my ears sweat and itchy eeks....

Plantronics GameCom 1 Headset - Jake's Reviews

Advantages: Good sound quality, top notch mike quality, good price, comfortable
Disadvantages: Some may not like the looks, no surround sound

...Have had this headset a few months now after reading a magazines review, and it has been perfect! My main use for this headset is gaming, for which the sound quality is exellent and the microfone is one of the clearest around. However, because of such good sound/mike quality it is also perfect for Skype, any form of internet chatting, Listening to music and also making/recieving phone calls! The height is adjustable to fit just about any head and the headband and earpads make wearing it for hours very easy, even after long sessions of use (3+ hours) my ears still felt fine and did so when i took it off, this is not like those cheapo headsets that after 5 minutes kill your ears. There is a handy microfone mute button and a volume controller as you can see in the picture and it also has a clip which enables you to make the wire...

Review of Plantronics GameCom 1 Headset

Even NASA uses Plantronics gear!

Advantages: More comfortable than normal headset, doesn't break
Disadvantages: Earpiece can become irritating

...It's true. Plantronics gear is great stuff. When Halo 2 was drawing near, I decided I just had to have this headset, for the Halo 2 logo. A bit sad, I know, but it's actually a really, really good piece of equipment. ~~~ Appearance ~~~ Whereas with the official Xbox Live headset it's a speaker, with a microphone on a tube of plastic, which clips onto a piece of plastic that sits above your ears round the back of your head, this is an actual headset. That may not make much sense, so here's a picture of the official headset: http://www.kanection.co.uk/shopimages/products/normal/live-communicator.jpg And here's a picture of the Plantronics Halo 2 one: http://www.ramcoweb.com/gaming/gamecom-halo2.jpg With the Plantronics Halo 2 headset, there is a piece of plastic that loops around your ear, and has an earpiece which is...
