I'll make this short and sweet. This was the perfect headset for Skype. I work from home and use Skype as my office number (I have the subscription + phone number). I used a generic USB headset that was included in some software I bought sometime ago. My coworkers had this directive: Either figure out a way to make Skype clearer OR use your cell phone all the time. I bought this pair of headsets and the quality is much better. It's comfortable and easy to set up. The only issue: I believe Plantronics advertises a range of 40 feet. It's more like 15 feet or under in a real apartment setting with walls and doors. Not exactly cordless phone range, but it'll work at most of my situations. Works great with music sites like Pandora too.

This device fills a gap in my communication needs for hands-free computer operation during long calls. I do technical support calls over the internet and this allows me to hear with excellent sound quality as well as connect wirelessly for the occasional need to step away from the computer. The range allows me to move around without perceptible loss in call quality.

Was easy to hook up and get going...didnt have to configure anything. Shipping was fast as always with Amazon. I use it with yahoo, msn messenger, skype, games, watching movies, and phone calls. I can hear clearly with all of them. I use majicjack for my phone and it works fine with it. The main thing though, I fall asleep every night with it on, on my bed...I twist and turn. I lay on my stomach and this headset gets pushed off to one side while the other is still bent to my ear. I bought this headset one year ago this month and its still working fine even though it gets twisted and stretched around at night. I normally went through headsets about every six months. The wires on them would get bent and eventually probably break or just short out because of how rough I was with them. This one still works fine. The hard plastic around the headband is flexible enough to work with. I know thats not what its for but it works for me lol. I dont use up the whole charge all the time before I plug it back in to recharge. Its still working 8 hours for me before I do have to recharge. Takes about 2 hours to recharge fully. Its plugged in upstairs and sometimes I walk around downstairs with it. It works directly under the room that its plugged into. It goes out the further away I get but when I walk back into the zone it comes right back on. For me, this headset has done better than any others.

Here is my tip for you guys. Please buy the wireless. Sound quality is perfect with no lag or distortion. I still feel its wired. As for the google calls, Perfect! the other side compliments on how my voice is loud and clear. For the past 5 days i have been using it heavily with business negotiating via google voice. I can hear them loud and clear. I had given up on using google voice or skype or internet chatting before. Until i found this 995, I love using it hands free and moving around the house when i needed too for convenience. I love this thing! Trust me when i say this and buy the wireless. Its worth it. You don't have to take off your headset heading to the bathroom or get a cup of coffee or get stuff away from the table or help around the house while I am in a middle of negotiating on a call hands free or dancing while listening to a music. Think about it. Once you go wireless u ain't coming back to wired. Battery last a good long time too so no worries

This headset is very painful to wear. It makes my ears hurt and gives me headaches after just a short time of wearing it. The sound is alright. You can't use it while it's charging.

Pros:Works. Simple. Easy. Sounds good.I just plugged in the dongle, and when I start up Vent and Skype it just... works. Automatically. No installing, configuring, selecting a new device, or anything. That's just... weird. I'm not used to stuff that works. The most clueless and computer-illiterate person you know -- and think of the VERY WORST one (you know who I'm talking about) -- would be able to use this headset with no difficulty.Cons:Uncomfortable with glasses. I wear glasses. Pushes my ear against the glasses frame and makes my ear pinch. With sufficient fiddling and pushing and prodding I can get used to this.My kitchen is just one room away, through an open doorway. But once line-of-sight is broken, the transmission ends. Just one wall, and maybe 15 feet away, the signal is lost. So I can't listen to music while doing dishes.Charging cord is too short. My tower is under my desk, and I can't find a good place to put the headphones while they charge where my toddler can't get them. One of the reasons I wanted a cordless headset is that my kids tend to wander away with them, pulling on the cord and damaging things. A longer cord and I could keep it on my desk, in relative safety. I can buy a longer cord because it's a standard USB connection, but I would have preferred a longer one from the start.Can't listen while charging. Again, the cord is so short I wouldn't be able to out-of-the-box anyway. This can be an issue after a long evening of gaming, when the charge runs out just as the game is getting interesting. Suddenly I can't communicate with my teammates. (I'm not complaining about the charge time - 4 hours should be long enough for almost anyone, and it is as advertised.)I listed all the cons, even the ones that are functionally minor annoyances, but keep in mind that I still think the headset is worth 4 stars. But if any of the annoyances are dealbreakers for someone, they deserve to know about them ahead of time.

The sound quality is very good, the wireless range too, but if the battery runs out while in use, you will need to find a replacement, because you cannot use it while it's been charged.One more thing, there's no beep or anything like it to let you know that the batteries are running low ... so there you are talking on Skype and then out of nowhere you're out of batteries and, if this is your only headset, out of a headset to talk too.My recommendation: go buy a Logitech or a Freetalk.

I am very happy with this product, I almost bought a Logic Tech headset but after reading the reviews for both products I chose this one, and I am very happy that I did!The only thing I would want to change would be a longer battery life, eight hours is probably plenty for most people, but I spend much time on mine and I end up needing to take a break and charge it, this has interrupted a conversation or two, but considering the great deal I got on this, it is not that big a deal. I am not sure if they sell a back up battery for this unit or not, but I am pretty sure they probably have a model that has a longer battery life, I have not looked into it yet.

I could not use this product with my PC. It turns out that it is not compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7, and there is no plan to make it so. Do NOT buy it if you're planning to connect it to a computer.

Wow what a set of headphones.Let me start this review by saying I rarely take these phones off. They have changed how I use my computer greatly.I use a standing desk (better for my back and posture) and having to plug in headphones causes me to remain stationary and forces me to leave my desk looking "messy" with all the wires.I use a mic everyday to record audio / video and chat, my previous set cost 250$ dollars, so I was not expecting this set to replace those (it did!).I've now used this set of headphones for well over 200 hours, and thought I'd give a nice review listing the pros and cons and recommend the heck out of these guys.The way this set of headphones works is brilliant, you plugin the usb dongle, and automagically everything just works. (you need to set the usb device as the output and input obviously).You need to plugin the headset to a small usb cable (con) to charge these guys up, the light switches from RED to off when charging is complete, but you do not need to charge them all the way.I work at home (marketing, consulting, etc) and I need a headset on most all the day. When I'm writing I tend to work in silence (live in an apartment and dont wish to "blast" my music), but now with these phones, life is so much easier.I turn on itunes, choose shuffle and just do my thing. When I need a break I can just laydown, maybe do some light yoga, go downstairs and fix a protein shake or whatever, all while listening to my music.The range of these phones are pretty impressive (I can walk all around my apartment and only experience a few issues (which resolve themselves when stationary).One last thing I MUST brag about before I get to the pros and cons.The headphones offer the ability to skip to the next song, pause, and turn the volume up and down all within the headset (by pushing the buttons on the left ear) this is ingenious and makes life SOO much better.I have a set of wireless headphones for my TV and the audio button is on the right side, and the problem is if you laydown or accidentally brush it the volume goes WAY up almost killing you!So by having the ability to just tap the audio up or down one, man, that's just too good.PROS:Playback control on headphones (next, pause, up, down (con would be no previous).Fast charge time (I charge the phones twice a day when I workout or leave).Audio Quality (high quality, love them, nice bass)Mic Quality (high quality here too, not the best, but good enough)Comfort (not big phones (usually bad) but in this case they work.Cons:Small USB charging cable.No Previous on the headphones.Bottom Line?Buy it and buy it NOW!

Seems like a nice headset and voice is great. but1-They provided a 1 feet cable to charge it from your laptop.2-You can not use while it is charging. Which is very annoying.3-From time to time the voice is not clear "sounds like a robot"Still1-Nice voice.2-Good range at least it worked for me from 30 feet.3-Cool feature to mute with turning up the micriophone (next to your ear)

i think i've gone through at least 4 different wireless headsets. one-ear, blue tooth, you name it... this is the best on the market, period.i bought my first wireless headset from getting annoyed w/ my wired one, they were too tight on my head and hurt my ears.i bought my second wireless headset but the headrest was around the back of my head so the weight of them hurt my ears.i bought my third headset - apparently brand new on the market - didn't work with Windows Vista OS.. wtf!?i bought my forth headset and it was a single ear piece like the blue-tooth for your cell phone - noise was horrible and the configuration was difficult (15yrs IT xp).i bought my fifth headset and laid an egg. I was about to give up but these plantronics headphones have great noise, rest comfortably on my melon, LONG battery life, SHORT charge time.. dare i list them all?bottom line - i've tried them all and now i have 3 of these headsets. works great for skype calls (since i'm deployed) and hot/ptt mic vent (World of Warcraft - pve & pvp)they do NOT charge while in use (and visa versa). but with a 5 min charge will last you like 30 min of talk time - I KNOW! i was surprised myself.. but that's what i got and i definitely got my money's worth!!

I find connecting the headset to my iMac is hit or miss. That may be due to some applications not recognizing the device. I have two major issues with the headset:1. I have static problems and there's no really clear way to turn the headset on and off to try to clear it. Hold the power button and a blue light starts blinking. Is that doing something? Beats me. Hold it again and it appears that the device turns off. Perfect. Turn it back on. More static.2. Battery life is not great. I receive maybe a day's worth of use (probably 2 hours of calls)For my next headset I'd forego wireless and go with something that's wired to my computer.

I like these. They are comfy to wear, and the sound quality on calls is excellent. However, if you are in the living room and a Skype call comes in, you have to race to the computer to answer the call. If you wander around while on a call, you have to run back into the room with the computer to hang up. Yes, you can adjust the volume and mute the mic from the headset, but shouldn't you also be able to pick-up and hang-up from a wireless headset?

This item was all it was advertised to be and worked right out of the box. My only complaint is that it fits the head a bit tightly. In some instances that is good, but if you are carrying on a long discussion, one's ears become a bit cauliflowered! Over all, the unit is great and I am happy with it.

i love this! if i'm listening to music and get a call, the music goes into the background. i can still hear it but it's not loud and my caller is unable to hear it at all! the call quality and mic quality are excellent!the only downside is what others have already mentioned...it can't be used while charging and you can't see the controls when it's on your head. other than those two itty-bitty things this is an excellent product and not nearly as expensive as some others.

Did my research on wireless headsets have now ordered every single wireless headset provided to current date and this one by far is this best of all, on the low end of price when compared to all others, with price ranging from 30$ - 300$ USD i remember reading some revieves of the plastic on the headset breaking, but i have not had that problem on it, have had it over a year now and still doing completetly great, range is decent, however only thing i see where they could improve on is the use while charging ability, possibly being able to use the product while its charging aswell, if they do fix that , then to provide a longer charging cord.. its a great buy over all and like is aid before of all the wireless headsets out there, it is the overall best, clear sound, and long lasting battery....

I had the headset less than 6 months and the on/off switch failed. I should have checked the warranty but I opened it up and saw the on/off contact on the board had broken off. I unsuccessfully tried to solder it. The component looked cheap. I have used Plantronics for years and everyone I work with uses them. Another review complained about a) no use while charging, and b) the timer mechanism associated with the on/off button and suggested waiting for Plantronics second generation wireless. I concur and went back to a wired Plantronics headset.

Initial delivery the package was missing the usb transmitter and charger cable. Amazon took prompt care and sent the replacement fast. I love the control and ease of use. Main shortcoming are the short battery life and long charge time. Range is about two rooms away in my house.It's a good value for the price.

When I received this headset as a gift, I was extremely happy, hoping for the best. I unboxed the headset and read the manual a little, only to find out that you cannot use the headset while it is charging (so if it dies, you better not need to call anyone). Anyway, that was only a minor issue.I plugged the headset in and listened to music, sounded great. The wireless range was fairly large too. The second I called someone I was told immediately that my microphone stunk and that there was an annoying, low buzzing noise coming from my end. I contact Plantronics support and was basically told that I was crazy and that it had to be wireless interference. So then I shut off my wireless router and anything wireless within 100 feet of me, and it still had the issue. So then I figured it was a bad unit, I contacted Amazon (who is awesome) and they overnighted me a new one with a free return label for the old one. Perfect, so I thought. The new one is only marginally better, making the same noises for whoever is listening to me. I will I could return the thing but since it was a gift I really can't (especially since I have no receipt).The moral of this story, don't buy any expensive Plantronics headsets. Their support was rude and unhelpful. They also wanted me to pay for Shipping if I had returned it through them! I have been happy with Plantronics in the past, but this headset is not worth the $60 they are asking, $25 maybe, but not $60. I will likely put in a closet and buy a wireless headset from another brand or a wired one even, anything over this.

Why buy a wireless headset when it doesn't work half the time? You wouldn't buy a laptop that didn't work when the battery was charging, would you?I've had this headset for quite some time now, and I'm very familiar with it. Unfortunately, I'm also familiar with two shortcomings which render it basically useless.* The battery life is extremely short. A full charge lasts 4-6 hours. I can listen to music while working, or I can use it for a long evening gaming session, but I can't do both. Its charge just doesn't last long enough.* The headset does not work while charging. That is, once one expends the headset's painfully short charge, no sound comes out of the headset until it is charged up sufficiently and has been disconnected from said charger. It simply does not work while plugged in.* Incidentally, and far less importantly, the controls are annoyingly clunky. You need to push and hold the volume buttons for them to do anything, which is a pretty annoying analog throwback for a digital headset.While sound quality and range on this headset are excellent, the two problems that I've described are stupid and self-obviating design flaws. It's pointless to own this. Get something that runs on AAs instead.

I am using a Macbook with OS 10.5.8 and Skype. I can rarely get the audio to work, especially people hearing my voice, even though the preferences are set correctly. When it does work the sound is tinny. When reviewing the return policy it requires the original packaging, which, of course, I threw away.
