Plantronics Discovery 655

The Plantronics 655 looks superb, sounds clear, and strikes a near-perfect balance between size and comfort.

Sleek design. Great sound quality. Lightweight. Can be charged with AC adapter or double-A battery. Charging sleeve includes vibrate feature.

Expensive. Mediocre battery life. Mediocre noise canceling.

Plantronics Discovery 655 Bluetooth Headset

Bluetooth headsets have matured to the point where it is rare we see a revolutionary new product. Instead, most manufacturers

Good sound quality ; Three charging options ; Very comfortable and secure fit ; Charging-pocket vibrates to alert you to a call ; Bluetooth 2.0

Battery life is short ; Charging-pocket is bulky and ear tip sticks out when clipped to your pocket ; AAA charger doubles the carrying size ; Buttons are very firm ; Headset locked up once

With the Discovery 655 Plantronics has streamlined the design and narrowed down the included accessories to the essentials. The addition of Bluetooth 2.0 adds a nice element of future-proofing it. The inclusion of a DSP helps cut down background noise...

The Plantronics Discovery 655 has a great functional design that offers excellent performance.

Lightweight ; Comfortable fit ; Multiple charging options ; Decent call quality

Expensive ; Volume buttons are tiny

When testing the 655 we found the pairing process was smooth, and we were up and running within seconds. Audio quality was great, perhaps due to the 655's Digital Signal Processing that promises crystal-clear sound. We found that we did need to raise...
