Plantronics .Audio 90 stereo PC headset

[Brian]

Brad has written a review on the Plantronic .Audio 90 headset.

'Plantronics has been designing headsets since before most of you reading this were born. In all likelihood, your parents have owned or at least used a Plantronics product. Neil Armstrong broadcast his historic "one small step for man" one-liner from the Moon over a set of Plantronics for crying out loud!. So, considering the expectations set forth by this well-established audio electronics giant, one might say "there is no way a simple home computer user such as myself could afford such space-aged technology". Well, you're wrong. Plantronics offers a massive array of personal audio hardware for nearly every application.'

Not the same model used on the moon is a con? Haha, you musta been a little hard pressed to find some then eh? :P

heheh, yeah. well they are a pretty good set of earphones for the money. they aren't sennheisers, but for $25 they are pretty darn good.

the moon models were going for $10k on ebay, so i went with the cheaper, newer model. :D

hope no one thinks i got paid to do this review. i bought these babies with my own $$$. so what you read is what i think. *they sounded shitty at loud volumes while playing electronica* see, a bad comment.

please don't hurt me slashdotters. :cry:

I read this review after purchasing these head phones. I was looking for a review that would show how awesome these things are to the people at the forums I go to. These things are the best $30 head phones ever as far as I know. The sound quality matches that of many $100 head phones. The ear cushions are awesome too. I don't think I will be buying new head phones for a LONG time.

Hi,
After one month the microphone stopped working. Actually, if you yell into it some sound will transmit.

At the time my son was 1 yr old and he would pull the cord until it fell off the desk onto carperted floor. Also, he would suck on the foam tip. I expected this and was hoping the mic would last longer.

I bought a Logitech USB 300 headset a few days ago. It has good sound quality and some nice features. The only problem is that the in-line volume and mic mute do not work correctly. All this for around $50. Needless to say they went back to the store and a Plantronics Audio 90 came back, along with the $20. I especially like the 9 foot cord. It will come in handy walking around my dorm room. The ear cushions are great. The in-line volume and mic mute, a VERY nice feature.

I now need a third headphone in one year. First one lasted about 9 months. Second one now no longer gets sound in the left earpiece, after only two months. Normal use, treated well, and I am not about to buy 6 pairs of headphones a year at that pace. Yeah, they are only $30, but youll end up buying a lot of them they break so fast.
