Plantronics Audio 995 Digital Wireless Stereo Headset Review

Final Thoughts
I really like this device, the wireless communication just works. You plug it in and turn the headset on and instantly have sound. This is also the same for the microphone and it just simplifies things drastically. The headset also turns on and off very easily giving very good battery life so unless you want to use it for 8 hours a day the chances are you will only need to charge it up every couple of days – unless you watch loads of films!

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 guide as it is just not needed because it is so easy to use! Plantronics have unlike most other companies gone for the simple approach to producing this product, one that everyone can use, everyone can afford and one that everyone will like. It won’t give you the best sound quality and it won’t give you the best wireless freedom but for the price, size and weight it is heads above the rest of its competitors and is an absolute pleasure to use.

Pros:

  • 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

Cons:

  • Not the best fitting around the ears.
  • Very occasional electronic distortion
  • Range isn’t quite ‘around the house’

We would like to thank Plantronics for supplying this sample
