Plantronics Audio 655 Headset Review

I've had this now for a couple of weeks and I'm really impressed by the brilliant microphone quality. As well as that the headphones are suprisingly good, something I wasn't expecting. So these two things make the headset a great all rounder for PC use, and would be great for gaming, podcasting and general day to day tasks. I've uploaded a sample of the audio here http://www.4shared.com/file/200660652/34fe77f0/Plantronics_Audio_Test.html

serious question how do I get it to play MY voice I can hear other people's on ps3 but it won't recognize my voice?????? please help

[iLeW123]

@prssecustum not too sure about that as don't have a PS3. Might be worth googling around to see if anyone else has figured out this scenario. Thanks

I'm getting some strange crackling sounds during some songs with mine.

Could it be a driver issue?

[iLeW123]

@FelPhoenixFTW crackling tends to be caused by interference. It could be the USB port, try another. If not it might be the cable or the headset itself, in which case it needs replacing. Thanks

Hey you guys with big heads,

I just got these but was going to take them back due to lack of comfort, Too much clamping force for my face. I got out the heat gun and carefully heated the headband then spread the speakers and stuck em on my head. Form fitted! ;)

@starlessredbrush Ha ha, I like that kind of initiative!

@iLeW123 Can it work for xbox 360?

[darwincollins]

Know how/where to replace the batteries? Originally, I did like the headset, but, now the batteries won't run more than 30min.

My microphone doesn't work. th only thing that works is my sound does

[tanddant]

why no .995

[Rhuddgoch]

Although if it wasnt for the connection problems everything was fine from what i can tell. Form-fitting for the average potato-head and nice sounds(although the default was dam loud and doesn't let you mute it with volume down), haven't tried the mic for the problem i had didn't allow it to happen.

[Rhuddgoch]

Ah god...got these today and god i hate how it works for 10 seconds and then loses connection on any computer I plug it on. Support on their website didn't help and the technician in the forums just practically tells us to send it back to them so they can get you a new one. I say that's a poor excuse for saying that they got defects in a hell lot of their shipments.
