Great Headset for 3.5 Audio Connection
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Plantronics 355 Headset is an excellent choice for 3.5" connection to a PC or phone. It has clear stereo sound, excellent noise cancelling microphone, and comfortable headband and ear cups. It is used for video conferences and to listen to music. We've owned it for almost 2 years and it has held up well with daily use. Highly recommended.

Great sound for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received these headphones as a gift from my wife. They have a good comfortable fit and great sound response. I am a musician and I need to hear things clearly. The Plantronics 355 headset has met the mark. My wife purchased them at Best Buy during the Christmas rush and she had no problems purchasing them and everyone was kind and helpful. I would recommend the Plantronics 355 headset to anyone who listens or records music, or any gamer. I haven't played video games for quite some time but I know these would do the job well.

Good inexpensive headset ... BUT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this headset for use on my computer and video calls. This headset has a double jack (1 for mic, 1 for audio) and comes with an adapter for the 3.5mm jack. First impression was that the sound was decent and clear. However, while on calls, I would be choppy and get cut off every time there was a background sound or someone else would speak. Before deciding to return I decided to give one more try and get a USB audio adapter sound card for $8 or so. It now works GREAT. Apparently the 3.5 mm jack tries plays via analog signal. Using the USB jack converts to digital and the sound and speaking works perfectly. So if purchasing, undestand in order to optimize, you will need a USB adapter for the headset.

Read this before buying
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not bad as a microphone headset for the price I paid. I like the microphone and headphone, separately. There isn't any instructional manual. This package it came with a headset, a 3.5 mm adapter, warranty card, safety pamphlet, limited warranty and arbitration agreement and something in Chinese. They are all printed in Mexico. On the package, I see "Windows Compatible" but not knowing which version of Windows. In reality, it works without the adapter if you have a computer comes with both microphone and headset jacks. If you have a single jack, the adapter won't work. So, I ended up buying a USB adapter to work. If I knew this, I'd buy a USB microphone headset instead. I didn't test it on smart phone yet. Because it's not what I needed it for.

Posted .Thank you for your honest review on our .audio 355 headset. This model is intended for PC use and by default it connects to separate audio ports (one for the microphone, the other ones for the speakers) but can also be used on computers with 3.5mm headset ports and mobile devices that use the same combo jack. Please don't hesitate to contact us at www.plantronics.com/support if you require assistance.

Decent and inexpensive entry level Headset.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the novice or budget PC gamer looking and feeling pro is important. While most of the people you know on consoles are sporting high end Turtle Beach headsets you might be used to the simpler type you can find for Xbox and PlayStation systems. This device fills the gap between the entry level console gamer headsets and the ultra pro sets you see at LAN parties and in E3 videos. The mic has good pick up and with tuning can almost eliminate background noise. The earphones have a good pressure but don't envelop your ears in mini, personalized, sweat boxes like the bigger models can. They stay comfy even after a multi hour playing session. They sound good enough to satisfy the base requirements of most any audiophile. They adapt easily to various systems as well. Most PC gamers will insist on something from the high end but these work nearly as well for a fraction of the price. Great for newbies, budget gamers or as a backup set for the 'other' computer you have laying around.

Affordable reliable performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item to replace a much more expensive higher quality headset with a microphone so I could work from home and talk to clients by phone. The device no longer was functional when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and I found out that this was because there was no driver that would work for the USB-based system. Best Buy honored the warranty, I got my money back and I bought this item which has not as high a quality sound, but it is not USB-based, it plugs directly into my computer's mike and earphone plugs (which are immediately adjacent), and so it will always work no matter what system upgrades take place. It also has an adapter to convert the two-plug configuration with 3-prong plugs to a one plug, 4-prong configuration that would allow me to use it with my iPhone (if I lose the regular earbuds). In short, this will always work and the noise-canceling earphones give me very acceptable quality sound. For the money it's a honey.

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this product, its has soft cups over the ears plus padded upper strap for your crown. It is comfortable for long play times. fully adjustable with a flexible mic. I would have rated it 5 stars but didn't because the cord is very short and the volume control is limited. over all it is worth it for a $18 entry level headset.

Great Sound and Brand Name
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Plantronics for years in an office setting only. This was the first time using a home based product. It did not disappoint. The sound was clear and crisp, even on the lowest volume setting. The microphone sounds great to people on the other end. I bought this for online gaming, but also just to listen to music. I don't like the bulky headsets they typically have for gaming, so this item is not only smaller so it fits my head better, but significantly less expensive than the actual "gaming" brands. A great price and product. I highly recommend it.

For The $24.95 Price, Did Not Expect Such Quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normally, when I'm browsing headphone and mic combo headsets at Best Buy, I've seen some headsets priced at $200.00 dollars or more. Wow! I've always believed it's not the price tag that makes a quality product and the Plantronics headset proved me correct. For budget minded shoppers, less is always more. The Plantronics headset is sturdy in design, has comfortable headphone cushions, standard separate mic and headphone jacks to cancel out noisy feedback and a microphone that delivers excellent recorded audio! Zero Static, Zero Noise Feedback and Studio Quality Audio Playback After Recording! All this for $24.95! Only very minor drawback is the headset does not come with a microphone foam cushion to reduce the breathy sounds made when pronouncing specific letters and words. Not really an issue as Amazon sells microphone foam cushions at very low prices.

Good headphone/mic for cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable to wear for longer periods. Clear/clean audio on mic and decent ear pieces. I wouldn't expect these to survive a beating. The price says it all. I'd buy again.

Great product for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't beat it with the price. Sound wise, it is pretty good. Of course, you can't compare this to Bose or something along those lines, but I use this primarily for conference calls and it is great. I do use it to listen to some music a bit on some downtime and I'm surprised with how the lows hit and its not bad at all. If you need something on the less expensive side just to listen to some music while browsing the internet, this can do the job.

SOOO Sweet For The Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I approve of this product, it's quite comfortable - the feel is nice, the sound is very clear. One drawback for me is extended wear time - the ear pads become sweaty which is uncomfortable; it would be nice if there was a removable/reusable cotton or terrycloth cover for the pads. As of right now the pads are very comfortable - they simply get TOO warm and wet over time.

Awsome light weight headset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased this headset after trying a few others that were not as well made or comfortable. I really like this headset because it has very clear audio for my laptop and even when I'm using my Skype phone online. I love the the big oval shaped ear phones which are nicely padded. It makes a huge difference in how long you'll where them! These fit over my entire ear and don't give me a headache like some others have. When I'm on my Skype phone, people say I sound pretty clear. I'm not parting with these no time soon. I think they're great if you want something very affordable and comfortable that does what its suppose to do!

Good headset for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well and has good sound, but was hit and miss with my wife's work laptop/Skype for business setup. It worked most of the time, but occasionally people could not hear her (headset was not muted and volume was up). I think this would be perfect for a lot of people; business or gaming.

Great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this headset mostly for conference calls using Lync or Skype. The sound for calls is always perfect. It also provide a decent sound to hear music from an MP3 player or computer. Great value for the price
