1.0 out of 5 stars NOT USB Version, June 6, 2008

This review is from: Plantronics .Audio 480 USB "Virtual Phone Booth" Headset (Office Product)

This is also not the USB version. The Title is wrong when it states USB. When Ordering this item: I received the version without USB ".Audio 480 Headset".
I did not receive the ".Audio 480 USB Virtual Phone Booth Headset"
There are two versions offered by Plantronics, and this is the 3rd Amazon Prime listing that either shows the USB adapter or has it in the Title - but when ordering you receive NO USB adapter. This the the 2nd one I ordered, 2 different Amazon Prime listings, indicating USB - but no USB shipping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fit for Purpose, July 9, 2008

This review is from: Plantronics .Audio 480 USB "Virtual Phone Booth" Headset (Office Product)

First of all let's define what this product is for: using it as a communications device rather than a listening device. I travel a lot and try to keep stuff in my laptop case to a minimum. This little headset is very practical to carry around, has good noise isolation, and so far I haven't had a complain regarding background noise, thus the noise cancelling in the mic must really work. I don't give it 5 stars due to the short cable, which I had to overcome with a USB cable extender.

2.0 out of 5 stars comfort and sound quality needed, May 22, 2008

Travel Dog (Denver Colorado USA and on the road a lot) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plantronics .Audio 480 USB "Virtual Phone Booth" Headset (Office Product)

Although these earbuds looks like they should be high quality they didn't fit my ears well even with a variety of "fits" available and the mic boom is propped in place with a plastic tab that isn't particularly comfortable. Combine that with a listening sound quality that is definately harder to get accustomed too I would recommend staying with a cheaper version or even with something like the earbuds that come with an iPhone. I probably won't use them very much which makes them a waste of money - on the high side for this type of product.
