Plantronics .Audio 995 Headset Untethers VoIP Calls with High Quality

We're not quite sure what the dot is for in the .Audio 995 headset but despite the marketing puzzle this new VoIP focused headset has a lot to offer. The wireless .headset uses a USB adapter to wirelessly send stereo audio to the headset. The pivoting boom microphone sports noise canceling abilities and automatically .mutes when it is flipped up into a standby position. The 40mm drivers offer a wide dynamic range suitable for music and multimedia listening as well as less needy VoIP calls and Counterstike ghosting.

The headset also has media control buttons mounted on the side of the ear cups. The control buttons are the standard; play, fast-forward, rewind, stop, etc... Nothing new but nice to have them with you as you are roaming. Roaming .range max's out at about 40 feet. The over-sized, easy to use buttons aren't unsightly and actually fit into the frame very well. The only sorely missing detail that's missing from it's specification sheet is the charge information. There's no word on how long it takes to charge or how long a .charge lasts before needing to be replenished. You also can't .tell how it recharges. Power cord, USB cord, batteries? If you can live with that uncertainty, it's available .now for $109.
