Wow, really nice deal on this Plantronics headset at Buy.com — $12.99, down from a list price of $70. I have an earlier generation and it’s really good at blocking out ambient noise.
I use mine for the CrunchGear live podcast and it’s filtered out car horns, barking dogs, doorbells, construction, and noisy neighbors – all stuff that I thought would show up when listening to the podcast later but turns out not to have been an issue. They’re good for listening to music and gaming, too.
Features:
- Super-light with fully adjustable headband
- Open-ear design for team gaming
- High-quality, stowable QuickAdjust microphone boom
- Noise-canceling microphone
- Convenient in-line controls for music and microphone volume or mute
- Gold-plated connectors for greater signal transfer
Thanks, i am an impulse buyer so guess what I just did :-(
Great headset but it has been discontinued from Plantronics. So the great deals won’t last long.
Um, that looks exactly like the Plantronics .Audio 770 headest. You sure you have the picture correct? Looks like Buy.com might have it wrong as well.
If you are going to use any kind of voip I can’t recommend this since it’s not USB and thus dose not provide a discreet sound device. It’s also especially useful for any kind of voip in gaming to have the game sounds still directed to the PC/laptop speakers giving you an isolated com channel.
