MobileTechReview Reviews the Plantronics Discovery 640 BT Headset
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "ARTICLE" @ 02:00 PM
"Last summer, we reviewed Plantronics third generation M3500 Bluetooth headset which leverages Plantronics' Audio IQ technology and an integrated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to enhance the audio clarity in noisy environments. The voice quality was so good on the M3500 that we gave it our Editor's Choice award. The only thing seemed to have slipped Plantronics' mind with that headset was in the style department. The 27-gram M3500 felt heavy and looked large on anybody's ear. But come this year, Plantronics released a new generation of Bluetooth headsets that cut down on weight and size, but increased style and usability. Among them, the Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth headset leads the pack with a very lightweight, comfortable to wear design and great sound quality you've come to expect from a Plantronics product."
Okay. That may look like some sort of miniature firearm set, but I assure it's a headset. I can tell you personally that I recently purchased a Plantronics Bluetooth headset having gone from the original Jabra BT100 to a SonyEricsson HBH300 to my current Plantronics Discovery 510. Perhaps it's just the maturation of technology, but I found each to be noticeably better than the last. So did Plantronics get this one right? At $149, it certainly isn't cheap. Check out the review to hear Tong's opinion on their newest creation.
