Customer Reviews

Additional info
Delivered to door in 27 hours from ordering it thru home-phoneshop.

Arrived with three earloops (s/m/l) + two over the headbands (one cushioned, one swiveled). It is so light, I am using the earloop for hour long conversations just fine.

Using with Skype 3.1.0.152 on PC and u CAN hang up thru the headset Talk button OK.

Don't seem to need to plug transformer in, works fine off 500mA powered USB off back of monitor - one less cable.

Had a Olympia Dualphone Skype handset a couple of years which this was to replace that, but the two work together fine so I won't throw away Dualphone just yet.

Works fine. Long range. Well made. Look cool - I have always wanted to be a Borg ;-)

Plantronics USB for softphones/Messenger
Ordered this kit to use with softphone (BT), online messenger (Yahoo!; MSN; AIM Triton). Getting to the point where I was feeling tied to my desk while online. The kit integrated with all messenger programmes without a hitch, and the Personocall software works well with the softphone. I can now get up to make a cuppa tea while still chatting online!
Sound quality is what I expected from Plantronics. They make headsets by the million for contact centres and know their stuff. Yet to find a blackspot anywhere in the house. Haven't tried the shower, though. That would be going too far. I'm delighted.

CS60 -USB with Skype
I use the headset with XP & Skype (v2). Call clarity to landlines is excellent - people listening now seem not to be able to tell I'm on VOIP (unless a "skypism" occurs). Call clarity to other skype users not quite so good, but still okay (much better than with standard bluetooth mobile headsets which I'd tried previously).

Call pick up and hang up can't be activated from headset, because I'm on skype v2 (ie I have to use the mouse to start/end calls). Apparently only skype v1 supports that capability according to Plantronics(as at 20 Mar 06), which is a minor frustration.

Otherwise I'm very pleased and being wireless is fantastic.
