 Very good headset is close to perfect... January 22, 2008

I love the new plantronics voyager 855. It pairs great with my Nokia N82. My only gripes are that the call/talk button can be difficult to press and the audio quality is good but not great. For audiophiles, the 855 wont cut it. But I think I can safely say that no BT headset has great audio. If fidelity is what you want, you favorite headphones are better suited for the job, but if you want to walk around town, make calls, and listen to tunes this headset is awesome. It has great audio isolation and decent sound quality.
 Not ready for prime time. Close but no cigar. Big Ooops!!! February 21, 2008

The Plantronics 855, as noted by others, exhibits a number of deficiencies that are simply unacceptable in a stereo headset.
(1) Anemic volume. I mean it. Lousy, inadequate volume.
(2) Skips frequently. Skips a lot. Imagine someone banging on your CD player and making it skip. Totally gruesome "drop-outs."
(3) Very poor range. I cannot get more than 10 or 15 feet away from my phone, a Nokia E90, without completely losing the signal.
Finally, the skipping occurs even when my phone is in its case on my belt.
Other reviewers seem willing to live with these faults. Really?! A headset should faithfully reproduce the sound ... not dilute it and introduce drop-out gaps.

After using my massive Jabra BT stereo headsets for over a year. I decided it was time to upgrade. I was specifically interested in sound isolation.
The voyager is amazing to say the least. I've been using BT stereo headsets since they came out about 6 years ago back when they cost about $300 bucks. Anway, the voyage is small, sleek and look good.
Of course looks aren't everything, sound and control are critical. Stereo sound is ok not great. Ok in that, I wish it was just a bit louder. Also, for in-ear earphones they certainly do lack in bass. In terms of answering/making calls. Nothing special there. The voyager takes calls excellent. Sound is great.
If you want to move into the next generation of BT stereo headsets the voyage is a good deal. By the way I use my voyager with my Sprint Mogul. It works seamlessly. I also havent experienced the skipping that others have reported. But then again I've always used high quality phones so maybe thats a factor.
Awesome with a slight MOD February 22, 2008

Ok so I will say I am a bit of an audiophile so some of the other customer reviews worried me. I tend to get higher grade earbuds so I get better sound all around. I have had Shure e-series headsets from church worship/monitoring. I mainly use my Etymotic er4 and er6 headsets for personal listening to my players and laptops. Either way when I got my Voyager I did feel the same lack of fit and lack of sound isolation others mentioned even with the smallest eargel (I have small ear canals). Well all etymotic earbuds come with a great variety of sizes and designs and for me I went ahead and pulled out the etymotics smallest 2 flange ear gels and with some coaxing was able to get them over the outputs of the Voyager. What I have now is a headset which sits great, feels great, and most importantly SOUNDS great. Sound isolation is creepy. I almost get the same silence I feel when wearing my etymotic er4s.
I am using the 855 with my HTC Mogul and the controls for changing tracks and such work seamlessly. I do hear a significant difference in volume between music and phone calls. Phone calls seem much softer so I might try tweaking with the registry on my phone to see if I can pump out a little bit more fidelity, that is prolly just something other Windows Mobile users will be able to do.
I would give this joker 5 stars if it came with eargels like the etymotics but since I had to do that myself I gave it 4.
If you can... I definitely think that a investment in some Etymotics will get you a great earbud and then add those gels with this BT headset and you will be GOLDEN!!

Really great headset, hard to ask for more April 20, 2008

This is a really fantastic headset. It's my first bluetooth product but I had it working within minutes after the first charge. My Blackberry 8300 recognized the headset instantly, and it fully supports bluetooth stereo and remote controls from the headset.
The sound quality for calls is very good, and the boom fits in my ear very well without the optional ear loop. For extra security, the ear loop helps even more. Sound quality for music is good, but not great. I didn't give this headset 5 stars because the sound quality could be better, but it's hard to imagine how Plantronics could deliver better sound wirelessly at this price point. The default earpieces are extremely comfortable for me, though I am used to this type of earbud.
I haven't had any problems with the connection dropping or hiccuping with normal use. It will drop after I get 20 feet away or so, but that is understandable (to me, anyway). No issues if my blackberry is on my person.
I do agree with the commenter that said it can be uncomfortable to press the call button when the earpiece is in the ear, but sliding the boom in and out has the same effect, and if you hold the sides when pressing the call button, it's fine.
I highly recommend this product. Will update when I give it a try at the gym.
