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

Fantastic wireless headset for all uses

Advantages: Great volume , very light, works over long distances
Disadvantages: Fiddly set-up

...wireless channels. There is a volume control on the headset itself as well as a disconnect button. This disconnect button doesn't actually hang up the phone, it simply disconnects the headset from the phone. If you did this during a phone call you could press the button again and the caller would still be there. I must point out that this is not a mute button as you cannot hear the person on the other end if you push the disconnect button. This is the only issue I have with the headset. You cannot hang up or answer a call from the headset. This may be the way we have it set up at work. We have the handset still connected so we have the option of using the headset or the handset. If we want to answer the phone we need to lift the normal phone handset then push the connect button on the headset in order for it to work. If you need a wireless...

Review of Plantronics CS 60 Headset

Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Advantages: Long Lasting, Small
Disadvantages: Must Be Charged

...Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset This Xbox 360 wireless headset is definitely a long lasting microphone, which is quite durable. One thing which I like about this headset is that its much more comfortable to wear compared to the original Xbox 360 Headset. Another advantage about this headset is that its wireless so you don't need to bother with any wires. The only disadvantage about this product is that it has to be charged. The battery life for this wireless Headset is about 8 hours and it takes about 3 hours to charge fully. You can use this wireless headset to listen and talk to your friend on Xbox Live. I paid £35 for my wireless headset and it was well worth the money. I recommend this product to all potential buyers....

Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Advantages: Volume - WIreless
Disadvantages: Everything Else!!

...I bought my headset recently from ebay. I was looking forward to getting it because i haven't been able to speak to anyone on xbox live for ages. Since my days of Halo 2 on the original Xbox. I knew that the old headsets were crap, flimsy, uncomfortable and generally, just bad and plasticky. So i was looking forward to a change with the new wireless headset for the 360. Everything that i was looking forward to just didn't happen. The new headsets are still crap, flimsy, uncomfortable and still plasticky - although not so much now. And they do look more stylish than the older xbox version. They look and feel similar to bluetooth headsets that have emerged recently. As for the fact that it is no more comfortable, if anything it is less comfortable. I hate wearing it, it just flops off my ear, makes it really hot, itch and make my...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless headset

Advantages: Great looks, handy charge cable included
Disadvantages: Not great sound quality, no play and charge facility

...The microsoft xbox 360 wirless headset is very attractive and fits the ear very well - at least it fits mine anyway. The headset isnt particularly good at picking up quiet speech though, which is often a let down during games that require alot of detailed communication for tactics such as Gears Of War 2 or Call Of Duty WAW. The headset is priced at £34.99 RRP, which i think is quite reasonable for what you're getting. The headset comes with full instructions and a charge cable that plugs into the 360's USB point. It cannot be used in a play-and-charge situation which gets annoying so you have to leave it overnight to charge. It is mcuh less cumbersom that the various wired headsets on the market and has a good range using the 360's infra red technology system. There is a small silver button on the side used to turn the headset...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

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...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 45 Headset

plantronics .FLAWEDio 90

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

.... In this review I will be reviewing the ever popular Plantronics .audio 90 headphones. These headphones are probably the most popular headset for computer gamers. The brand plantronics is one of the leading brands on the market who supply communication headsets. They sponsor various gaming causes and infact tailor their headphone development in suiting gamers. Apart from gamers as one of their main markets they also target business or offices who use headsets alot to communicate via phone. For example plantronics are a huge supplier to the market of call centres. They have probably made a majority of their revenue by supplying the call centres of India with efficient and high quality headphones. Alot of online gamers value the brand of plantronics as high quality and proficient for their needs. I decided to purchase these plantronic...

Review of Plantronics .Audio 90 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....

Review of Plantronics SupraPlus H261 Headset

Plantronics .Audio 45 Skype Bundle Headset

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

...- kind of like walkman headphones from 1988 - with an adjustable band depending on how bif your head is (!) - although the foam coverings on the earphones themselves could wear a little thin, but not to worry, I'll just replace them with foam covers "borrowed" from airline headphones next time I fly... Set up is very easy, it really is just plug and play - although this will clearly vary on whick VoIP system you use - I've used it with Skype (just go to Skype preferences and set the audio input and output to 'Plantronics Headset') as well as MSN's & Yahoo's systems with no problems. As far as I can tell, or in terms of comments I have had from people I've been Skype-ing with, voice quality at the other end is very good and the sound quality at this end is great too. Youcan also use the headset to listen to CD's, MP3's etc - just fold...

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...
