Plantronics has introduced the .Audio 655 USB stereo headset for PC-based communications and multimedia.The company claims that the .Audio 655 is the industry's first headset to take full advantage of the "crystal clear audio quality" of calls in the all-new version of Skype for Windows.
Certified to work with Skype's new "SILK" speech codec, which delivers super wideband audio, Plantronics says .Audio 655 offers deep bass and full-range digital audio through 40mm speakers.
There's also a noise-cancelling microphone and the "Fast Mic Mute" tech that lets users quickly mute the microphone by raising the boom.
With soft, swivel-mounted ear cushions and a lightweight design, the new headset is said to be comfortable for all-day use.
The device uses a plug-and-play USB connection and features one-touch volume controls on the earpiece.
The Plantronics .Audio 655 USB stereo headset will be available from the start of April for £39.99. Phones, Headsets, Plantronics, Skype, VoIP, Hardware
