Plantronics Audio 478 USB Headset thoroughly recommended

2016-12-01 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

If you're looking for a good USB headset for Skype, VOIP or other chats 
from your computer then the Plantronics Audio 478 is worth the look.


The headset is an over the ear type and is stereo, not terribly good for 
music but very nice for chatting.


A boom microphone fols down from the left earpiece and it can be 
adjusted, the microphone is a noise cancelling type but still sounds 
very good, one of the best I've heard from this type of headset.


The volume, mute etc is controlled by an inline control panel which 
features one programmable key, you might like to programme this to 
answer and end Skype calls for example.


If that's not enough then the Plantronics Audio 478 can be folded away 
into a supplied nylon carry bag and packed into your Notebook or tablet 
case.


I bought my first of these headsets 5 years ago and that particular unit 
is only now starting to show signs of wear. I have a couple of these 
headsets about the house.


Great value for money at around $30.
