I have a friend who is looking for a good headset to do his webinars and such as well. Right now with his current set, whenever he says something with an ‘s’ in it, it makes it sound really loud and messy. Hard to explain. But with your experience have you noticed if you ‘s’ in words comes across clearly. How would it work for someone who may have a lisp too?

Thanks

Greetings,

I just finished reading through your review of the new Plantronics wireless headset and I’m happy to hear that not only is the comfort but also the quality superior. However, one thing you failed to mention in your review was the power source of the unit. Does the headset come with a rechargeable adapter/dock or does it require disposable batteries? What’s the battery life?

The reason this is important is because of my needs for the headset. Because of a severe physical disability, I am not able to use my hands at all, thus requiring total operation of my PC with my voice, using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.3. Speaking to your computer to operate it takes on a very unique feeling, because depending upon how you talk and how you are heard, dictates the accuracy. A key factor in this is a good quality headset. I’ve been using Platronics for years, nearly as long as I’ve been using the particular brand of voice recognition software. On average, I’m entering 12-13 hours of PC and headset usage, so believe me when I say comfort and quality are quite important.

So, as you can see, even though your review was quite beneficial it still leaves me with some additional questions, and anything you could do to help me with this purchase would we most appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the review about the wireless headset – I don’t talk on Skype a lot, but when I do it would be nice to get up every once in awhile!

Take Care,

Lynn,

Thanks so much for the review and answer to my question on the webinar. I just purchased this through your link and cant wait to get it! Interestingly, I had just bought another headset earlier in the week (wired) and it was only $10 less than this headset you reviewed!

Thanks again and for all the great information. Happy to be an Elite member!

Juli – you will love it! I just got mine after waiting for it to get back in stock and I’ve had it on for two hours. Now I can finally catch up on all the mp3s I have in my “things to listen to” folder. It is ultra comfy and the wireless range is fabulous. Thanks for the recommendation Lynn.

I just ordered my Platronics wireless headset – 47% off on Amazon right now! I’m so psyched that I’m going to finally be untethered and will be able to get up and let the dogs out or refill my coffee while I’m waiting for webinars to start, or when I’m Skype-ing.

No, you can’t use it while charging. I have a backup headset just in case I need one while the Plantronics Wireless Headset is charging – but usually I charge it overnight while sleeping anyway.

I think that’s what I love about it the most I am wearing my Plantronics headset now, and was just in the kitchen making a coffee while talking with a friend over Skype. Love it!

Great review – I think I’m going to have to ask for one of these for Christmas. I use Skype with the Logitech headset almost exclusively for my phone calls, but it can be pretty frustrating being tethered to the computer – especially when I’m in desperate need of a caffeine fix and the coffee pot’s in the kitchen!
