Plantronics USB Headset on Sale at Buy.com
Plantronics .Audio 510 USB Ultimate Performance Headset – New in Poly-Bag
If you use Skype or Camtasia, you’ve heard that a USB headset is better than an analog headset. You may have even heard side-by-side comparisons of the two. But you’ve put off buying a new headset.
Me too.
My old Logitech analog headset has served me well over the last few years. It is subject to popping P’s and B’s, but the audio is acceptable and I didn’t want to spend $50.00 for a new headset.
Earlier this week, I got a newsletter from Buy.com, touting the Plantronics Audio 510 on sale for only $16.99, with free shipping.
Plantronics is the brand recommended by Bill Myers, which is usually good enough for me. But the recent models featured a pair of analog mini-plugs with a USB adapter. I don’t know if that degrades the sound or not – but I wanted a true USB connection.
Like the one on the Audio 510.
So I jumped on the offer.
The headset arrived yesterday, and it is terrific. I’ve only had it for 24 hours, but I endorse it without reservation. The sound through the headphones is excellent, the microphone is sensitive without clipping, the windshield on the mic also seems to act as a pop filter, and the USB connection was recognized by my computers without a problem.
And, of course, the sound is noticeably better.
If you’ve been looking for a USB headset, this sale is worth checking out.
