Product Description

The new Plantronics Voyager 855 headset offers a convertible design and immersive sound experience for calls as well as listening to music on Bluetooth enabled mobile phones with stereo A2DP. The lightest stereo headset available to date, the new Voyager 855 includes intelligent features that offer unparalleled audio clarity.

Tailored Wear for Mono or Stereo Sound

Customizable for either mono or stereo use, the Plantronics Voyager 855 features a detachable stereo cable so consumers can tailor the wearing style to their communication and entertainment preferences. With specially designed, form-fitting earbuds, the Voyager 855 fits snugly and securely to seal out unwanted background distractions.

The Voyager 855's sound-isolating earbuds and convertible cable offer crystal clear wireless stereo sound when listening to digital music, as well as complete binaural immersion in conversations. When attached, the stereo cable also enables wireless AVRCP remote control capabilities. Plantronics' stereo multipoint technology alerts users to incoming calls and allows easy switching between conversations and music.

Drop the second earbud or detach the cable and the headset serves as a high-quality mono Bluetooth device.

Slide-to-Talk, Boom-Extended Microphone

The Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth headset features a sleek slide-to-talk boom to provide convenient call control and improved audio performance. Sliding the boom open instantly connects the caller. The extending boom also houses a voice tube to position the microphone closer to the mouth for directional voice reception, ensuring maximum voice clarity and intelligibility. When the boom slides back, the call ends and/or the user's music selection conveniently resumes play.

Plantronics AudioIQ® - Noise Reduction and Two-Way Call Clarity

The Voyager 855 features Plantronics' award-winning AudioIQ technology - an exclusive, adaptive digital signal processing (DSP) technology that automatically reduces background noise and intelligently adjusts audio levels to increase clarity on both ends of a conversation.

Plantronics' new Voyager 855 offers approximately seven hours talk time, six hours listening time and 160 hours stand-by time from a single battery charge. And at only 15 grams - the Voyager 855 is the lightest stereo Bluetooth headset available.

Note: Stereo Bluetooth capability only works with phones that support Bluetooth A2DP.

Sound great as headphones, but bad for phone calls

User: Dan Becker, Jul 31, 2009

Pros: For a bluetooth headset, good sound & comfort volume & pause work as they should
Cons: People complain my voice sounds muffled or they cant hear me at all when used for phone calls

If these worked as well for phone calls as they do for music, itd be great! These sound just great for music, especially when you get the right seal in your ear. When the seal is set, it does a fantastic job blocking out sound - I stopped using my Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones for yardwork and use these instead drowns out the (electric) weedwhacker & mower just fine. Plus much less sweaty!

But the whole point of this is to work just as well for phone calls, and the ones I have fail on that score. They are far, far worse than the following BT headsets Ive used very happily with my iPhone: original Jawbone Jabra JX-10, Jabra BT530. Those all do a great job picking up my voice and isolating out background noise.

But no BT headset I have ever used has ever yielded as many complaints about people not being able to hear me compared to these. Even the stock iPhone wired headphones are a HUGE step up in voice quality. Doesnt matter if I extend the "boom" or not - people have a terible time hearing me at all. For a while, I carried these for music and actually switched to another BT headset if I needed to make a call - its that bad.

Maybe I just have a bum unit, but... not recommended.
