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.

Our friends at CNet.com.au have reviewed the Sennheiser CX95 headphones and have given it a above average 8.3/10! In summary:

It’s hard to pick out any significant downfall for these ‘phones, as they’re comfy, affordable and capable of a decent performance. Perhaps as we noted above, the high-end could be tweaked to highlight the more crystalline properties of some songs, but this is certainly something that will only annoy someone who has the money to buy something more expensive but chose the CX 95s.

We have no problem recommending these earphones. With good sound isolation, great performance and comfort for even the pickiest ears, the CX 95s stand as an absolute must-hear option.
