Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plantronics Foldable USB Stereo Headset (Optimized for Laptop Use) (Audio 470 USB)
Customer Review: Great headset for this hearing impaired user
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had ongoing headset problems because of my progressive hearing impairment. Originally I purchased the Plantronics Foldable USB Stereo Headset intending to use it on my laptop with DNS 10. I decided to try it out with my desktop PC to see if it gave me better sound quality than the headset I have been using. In one word: WOW!! I can now hear clearly my DVDs, audio CDs, internet radio, etc. The volume range is much wider than I need and the clarity is wonderful, even without using my hearing aids. This is an unexpected plus.
Note: It took a bit of gentle experimenting to learn how to fold and unfold the headset. I now store it in a zip-loc bag when it is not in use to avoid tangling wires.
Customer Review: Excellent for Dragon Naturally Speaking
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this headphone specifically to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10, which works like a charm with it.
I did have one problem, which was my own fault. On the headset, there's a little silver microphone on the on/off switch. So that's where I set it, and spent a day and a half of total frustration because Dragon could not understand me. My grandson finally took a look and pointed out that the little silver microphone has a tiny line through it, about the size of a hair. I'd had it turned off the entire time, even though Dragon said the sound quality was good. The "on" side of the switch is blank, which seems backwards to me. Anyway, now it works great and I love it.
Customer Review: Plantronics headsets are the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Comfortably fits on my head. Cord is long; too long is good you can cable tie it, too short is unusable if the PC is too far. USB dongle soundcard installs well with Vista and is interchangeable with ANY other mic/speaker. This makes it so that if you have a bad soundcard or no soundcard, this will replace it. IT folds neatly for travel. Vol control and mic mute on the cord.
Cons: earpads are very flat and firm, so it hurts the tragus and antitragus of my ear since mine stick out a little bit. Fluffier earpads may help that but there are no replacements in the box.. and thats just a con if I want to be picky because I really like these headphones.
Customer Review: Excellent for conferencing and music
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this headset mainly for use with Skype and TeamSpeak. I tried it for the first time last night and it did not disappoint. The sound quality from the mic was better than I expected when I did a Skype test call. The guys I was chatting with in TeamSpeak said it sounded great.
One pleasant surprise was the audio quality of the headphones. I played some of my music and the bass response was quite acceptable for everyday listening. The headset was truly plug-and-play on my MacBook Pro in both Windows XP Home (using Boot Camp) and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Summary: 5 Stars
Well Amazon.com
To me and a lot of others you are the bomb
Each time (a lot) I have ordered something from you
With flying colors you always come through
You have not sent me items late, so I can't whine
Matter of fact you're usually ahead of time
My ordering from other sites have come and gone
And, for now and aways I'm with you Amazon!
So, proudly I write this review
And say a great big huge thumbs up to you
