Plantronics .Audio 995 wireless headphones

These wireless headphones have good range and decent sound quality

Good microphone, comfortable for on-ear headphones, good range and battery life

No 3.5mm connection option, inferior sound to wired headphones

If you value mobility over sound quality, the Plantronics .Audio 995 wireless headset is a great option. We never experienced audio break-up, and the decent sound quality and good microphone made voice communication a breeze.

Plantronics .Audio 995 Wireless Headset

Plantronics applies its Bluetooth headset experience to a wireless PC headset.

Before you can use the set it must be charged. This is performed through USB with a provided cable, but unlike Creative's effort you can't use the headset when plugged in. This is a fairly significant oversight in our minds, since there will always be...

Plantronics Audio 995 Digital Wireless Stereo Headset Review

A little while ago we took at two Xbox 360 headsets from Plantronics and were very impressed with what they offered for the money. We did however comment that the Wireless X95 headset would be a much better product if it featured an integrated...

Attractive Design.

Poor wireless signal.

There are better headsets available for less money.

Plantronics Audio 995 Digital Wireless Stereo Headset Review

Headsets are a wonderfully simple solution to the problems that arise with a microphone and loud speakers, however, I've always found them to be quite restricting as you end up with a length of cable that is never quite long enough. Over the years,...

Good battery life and quick charge time ; Natural feeling bass with the right amount of punch ; Very comfortable and gives good wireless freedom ; Very quick and easy to set-up – it just works ; Quite a light headset

You will also find that this device doesn’t just work with Windows 7 as plug and play and it in fact works instantly with Ubuntu as well as with Mac OS. In my eyes it’s not a disadvantage that this headset doesn’t come with drivers or an in-depth user...

Works Really well

The mic getting low after a few days could just be a bad apple in mine, so not going to ding to much for it because even though the quality went down, at least it still works without any hassle.

Extremely easy to setup The sound is GREAT. Very clear base and highs. Good Charge time, and charges quickly Good range, can walk around freely without having to worry about a cord. Lifting the mic to mute it is awesome, dont want people to hear you...

The mic was super clear the first week I had it but started to fall off with people having trouble hearing me after a few days of use, The mic hasnt seemed to have gotten worse past that and I just keep it closer to my mouth.

Has Some Drawbacks

Sound is great. It works beautifully when I can use it as either a media headset or communications headset. The range is as expected as well.

One major drawback is that it can not be used while charging. For all intents and purposes, it is non-existent while connected to the USB charging cable. This makes it difficult to answer calls on my MagicJack VoIP telephone system and to answer calls...

Plugged in and worked right away

If you're looking for a gaming headset, this one might not be the best, but it works for me while playing League just fine.

Average sound. Produces adequate audio for what I paid for. I don't know if it is supposed to be noise canceling but it does a decent job at it. I like the button configuration. Simple and easy to use Worked right out of the box, I don't know if it...

It seems a little flimsy. The range only works about ten yards, but I think that's what its advertised as so not really a con, just something to think about. It's a little tight at first but I assume the more you wear it the better it fits.

Easy plug and play, great range and quality

I'd definitely recommend these. They're the kind people use at my job, that's how I found them. I chose them because I've witness many people use them for 8 hours a day for a year or more and they still work. And the price is really competitive too.

I've been hunting for good wireless headphones for years. Tried a few bad brands and thought I'd never get something good. But these ones are great. - Very easy to plug and play (Win 7). The audio drivers on my laptop are a bit wonky, but I can plug...

- They fit pretty tightly and can get uncomfortable. That said, I don't mind and regularly keep them on for hours at a time. - Not bluetooth connection. Rather a proprietary dongle. But it works really well.

PLANTRONICS .Audio 995

I have a friend with this same headset and he's had the mic when positioned up to mute not mute. Luckily nothing embarrassing happened but I wish there was an actual mute button at times. And as I mentioned, wish there was a little app that could warn...

Decent range after moving the wifi dongle up away from my tower/monitors. When it was plugged to the back of my tower only got about 20ft. When moved up to beside my monitor I got about 30ft and with it up on the hutch of my desk I get 40-45ft. Battery...

Wish there was a battery level indicator so I knew if the battery was low and to plug it in to charge. Currently it just will drop with no warning and no auditory clue of why. There also seems to be a slight delay in the microphone. When my wife and I...
