Description of Enhance Your Multimedia Experience 🎧 with the Plantronics .Audio 355 Headset

40mm stereo speakers deliver rich, resonant stereo with maximum bass response. Don't just hear it--feel it. Lightweight and flexible, the headset is comfortable for hours. Pillow-soft, swivel-mounted ear cushions focus stereo sound for maximum enjoyment. The QuickAdjust microphone telescopes and rotates for precise placement. When not in use, it rotates discreetly out of the way. The noise-canceling microphone reduces background noise so you can easily be heard.

Ideal for speech dictation and transcription.

This headset is great for speech dictation and transcription. Many of them only have a USB connector on the end, but my setup requires small connectors. I'm so glad Plantronics still makes them. The room or office must be very quiet to ensure good speech recognition.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Not for everyone

Microphone fails six months to a year

These headphones are good as long as they work but I have two others of the same model for my other offices and all three failed after six months to a year. The incoming audio is fine, but the microphone cuts out or there is a short in the line and the other party cannot hear you or only hears part of the conversation. The same happened with all three ordered headphones. Don't buy it unless you need headphones instead of a microphone for calls. Very disappointed in Plantronics. As a rule, this…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Useless features

Great for the home office, but not for intensive use

I would say these are normal headphones. Anything lower or cheaper than this set will be worse. They work well, the mic works great too. I felt the headphones were on the small side. However, it may be useful for you if you have small ears. The set is light. I would say the nicest thing is the long cord. Sorry, it doesn't have USB capabilities. So unless you have a 3.5" mic and an earbud, I wouldn't recommend it for you. I would say that using them for more than 3 hours would not be good. In…

  • Positive only

Lightweight, worth the price and works as advertised.

Because I work a lot at home, I was looking for lightweight, high-quality headphones with a good noise canceling function. After doing a little research and reading reviews, I decided on this product. 1) First of all, it is absolutely worth the price. 2) Noise cancellation is good enough for moderate home use. 3) Light weight. 4) Good pillow for moderate use. 5) The speakers in the headphones are average for music but good for calls. 6) It works with a pin converter that converts two pins into…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

They have always proven to be durable and have excellent call quality

I have been using Plantronics brand headsets in an office environment for over 15 years. They have always proven durability and excellent call quality. Unfortunately, these two qualities are not available with this headset. Callers complained throughout the week of use and consistently expressed discomfort with the microphone's sound quality (fixed by replacing five-year-old Apple headphones). Complaints ranged from low volume that can't be remedied by raising my voice to an uncomfortable…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Slim

Very comfortable, clear and clear sound, lightweight and easy to use. Works well on my computers, laptops and (with adapters) works great with my home phone. This means a lot to me as I work from home. I ended up returning them because I already had some much more expensive gaming headsets that I didn't think would work with my phone when working from home. It was actually difficult to find suitable adapters for this headset. It wasn't until I actually used it at work that I realized it didn't…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Some problems

They could be better

I bought these headphones because I needed a Plantronics headset for work. I work from home and the company I work for wanted me to have a Plantronics headset. It doesn't have to be a USB headset. I wasn't trying to spend money on another USB headset when I already have a really good Logitech USB headset. I ended up just using a Logitech headset because the Audio 355 just wasn't powerful enough in a virtual desk environment. I would not recommend using this headset with software like VMware…

Pros
  • Test results are stable
Cons
  • Might have been a newer model

We own five of them.

We have five of these headphones so we have to tell you a little bit about what we think of this headset. Do you get studio quality sound from them? Of course not - they're intended as a simple headset/mic for use with a computer with an emphasis on voice quality, as the mic advantage means they're used with products like Skype, TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, etc. I think they offer great sound for the price, both through the headphones and the mic. Those I speak to say my speech is clear, undistorted…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
