Altec Lansing recently launched a two-piece PC audio called the Expressionist BASS which the company claims is the industry’s first 2.2 desktop speaker system. What sets the Expressionist BASS apart from any other speaker system is that these ten-inch cones are integrated with 4-inch subwoofers.

Plantronics Discovery 925 launched to rave reviews; at least from us here in Mr. Gadget Australia. Mr. Gadget praised the headpiece for its being light and comfortable, and for having good voice quality and battery life. It doesn’t look bad either, although if you’re more concerned about looks than anything else, there are now new colors of the Plantronics Discovery 925 available in Australia and New Zealand.

It is with much regret, that I have to hand the Plantronics Discovery 925 back to Plantronics HQ - mine was a review unit. Bluetooth headphones/headsets are a dime-a-dozen these days but up to this moment, the Plantronics 925 is the best I’ve ever used.

Comfortable Fit
I’ve never really enjoyed using in-ear earphones/headsets as they have a tendency not to fit my ear properly and fall out after a couple of steps of normal paced walking - this was not the case with the Plantronics Discovery 925. The snug, secure fit can be attributed to the unique design of the in-ear component which uses ’stablizer handles’. It’s strange but works!

Light as a Feather
It’s V-frame technology rids itself of unnecessary clumps of plastic which results in a stylish and lightweight design. Being able to see more of one’s face and less headset means that it’s much more viable to wear this in public (if needed).

Yes I must say that I like the new Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth Stereo Headset. The flexibility to use it as a mono and stereo headset is handy. Other notable features are the slide-out-call-answer panel, 15g weight, integration with Voice Command software. Didn’t like the weird non-standard USB charger though.

Here’s a link to the Plantronics Voyager 855 Video Review that I made (beware features weird dance moves):

Like it? Hate it? (I’m talking about the headset not my groove)

Most of the Mr.Gadget Staff conference calls that I participate in are usually from headquarters to my mobile phone. In an effort to curb costs and to familiarise ourselves more with Skype, we scoured our gadget catalogue to find good value Skype headsets. There are a couple of decent ones on the market but for me the Plantronics .Audio 345 Skype Stereo Headset stood out because of their low price and practical quality build. I think these are the ones we’re going to go with.

The Plantronics .Audio 345 headset combines comfort and rich stereo sound with digitally-enhanced voice quality for Skype®, Windows Live™, or Yahoo® Internet calling, making it the natural choice to enjoy consistent, high-quality audio. Position the boom to talk or rotate it out of the way when listening to music, Podcasts, or DVDs. Internet calls sound better and games are more realistic with full-range stereo. A noise-cancelling microphone reduces background noise so callers only hear you. The lightweight, behind-the-head headband delivers complete comfort for hours and convenient in-line controls let you adjust music and microphone volume or mute the microphone with just a touch.
