Plantronics Discovery 665 Bluetooth Mobile Headset : Road Warriors Lookie!

If you're always on the road and on the phone, I recommend the Plantronics Discovery 665. The Plantronics 665 has so many charging options, you'll never run out of juice on your headset again! In one quick motion you can either snap on a car cigarette lighter adapter, or USB charger or use the AC adapter.

Plantronics have paid attention to the smallest details to make this tiny bluetooth headset both functional and stylish. The purple charging lights are especially groovy! Talking about small, this little contraption only weighs 9 grams which makes it almost unnoticeable while in your ear.

Sound quality is guaranteed via Plantronics AudioQ technology which improves sound on both sides.

Features of the Plantronics Discovery 665
- AudioIQ technology improves the experience on both ends of the call
- Sleek, stylish design for discreet connectivity
- Ultra-light and comfortable at only 9 grams

Plantronics Pulsar 260 Bluetooth Headset : Absolutely Superb

Plantronics sent me one of their Plantronics Pulsar 260 Bluetooth Headsets to try out last week and I love it. Having been without a bluetooth headset for a couple of weeks (lost it), the Pulsar 260 Bluetooth Headset was a welcome addition to my gadget belt. What's more is I got a wireless control for Windows Media Player on my pocketPC as well! Woot!

Easy Setup
After I charged the Pulsar 260 (initial charge should be around 3 hours) all I did was press both the power and play button and I could pick it up on my iMate JasJam PocketPC. Note: the instructions say to press them simultaneously, but this did not work with my unit. I actually pressed the power button slightly before the play and it initiated the pairing state fine.

Light As A Feather
At 25grams, you can wear the Pulsar 260 comfortably in your pocket or use it's clip on your belt. Weight matters when you're going to be using it for most of the day.

Rich Sound
I've never had a pair of the new types of plug-in earphones and I must say that this kind of design definitely provides for a richer sound. Although the Pulsar 260 won't compete against the high-end audiophilic types of Sennheiser and Shure, the sound was definitely above average. I enjoyed controlling media player (hooks up by default) wireslessly to play my favourite MP3s.

Plantronic Pulsar 260 Bluetooth Headset Features:

• In-line telephony controls, pendant music controls
• Clothing clip or lanyard wearing options
• Up to 9 hours talk-time or up to 7 hours music listening time
• Audio-out feature for Bluetooth connection to powered speakers or home Hi-Fi
• Pod weighs just 25g
• Bluetooth V2.0 software for improved co-existence with wireless networks
• Up to 10 metres range

Fantastic work Plantronics! Another great gadget that fits well in your line-up.

Plantronics .Audio 350 Multimedia Headset : Comfortable and great sound

I got a Plantronics Audio 350 Multimedia Headset to review from Plantronics last week and they are fantastic for gaming. The best feature about the Audio 350 would have to be the comfortable padding - the swivel-mounted pillow-soft ear cushions mean you can wear these for hours on end.

The Plantronics Audio 350 Gaming headset also delivers rich sound via its 40mm ear speakers - the bass was good and we gamers know it's all about the bass :) Inline volume controls, long cable (3 metres) and adjustable boom were also notable features.

Features of the Plantronics .Audio 350 Multimedia Gaming Headset

- 40 mm speakers convey rich, resonant stereo with maximum bass response
- Lightweight, flexible headband delivers plush all-day comfort
- Noise-canceling microphone boosts speech recognition accuracy
- QuickAdjust telescoping, bendable boom assures ideal placement
- Boom stows discreetly when not in use
- Swivel-mounted, pillow-soft ear cushions provide comfort and acoustic precision
- Inline volume and mute offer convenient access and control
- Works with popular PC sound cards

Sad thing is, I have to send it back :(

Well done Plantronics, keep up the great audio gadgets rolling!
