In 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface, wearing his Plantronics headset, the world was amazed to hear him speaking loud and clear across all those miles. With the Voyager 855 stereo Bluetooth headset, Plantronics continues it's history of innovation! This tiny headset weighs in at just over half an ounce, and lets you choose mono or stereo performance, thanks to a detachable stereo cable. The earpieces mold to the shape of your ear, and come in a variety of sizes.
The Voyager 855 features a sliding boom, which places the mic closer to your mouth for clearer pickup, and also serves as a switch to answer and end calls. While you're listening to your music, the headset will notify you of incoming calls, and when you answer a call, it automatically pauses the music, so you pick up where you left off when the call is over. Plantronics' AudioIQ technology gives crisp, clear sound on both ends of the conversation, and offers full, bright tone for music playback.
Other call management features include call mute, voice-dialing support, and call transfer, which lets you switch a call between the phone handset and the Voyager, at the touch of a button. Brilliant sound and smart features from such a sleek little unit: that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Best headset yet!
- Pros: Easy pairing, multiple pairing, lightweight, long battery life,quick charging, clear sound from both sides.
- Cons: In ear design may bother some people, the stereo sound may not please picky audiophiles and saw no difference in sound with boom extended.
- Other Thoughts: The 855 is an upgrade to the 665 which has always worked flawlessly. It does everything I've always wanted in a headset. All the sounds from the phone come through the headset including tv, music and even the ringtones. The other great feature is that you can hear all sounds with or without the additional stereo earpiece, so you can always be silent to others around. The stereo sound is comparable to any standard in ear headphone and should be fine for anyone but the most discriminating audiophile. The in ear gels work great, snug and comfortable on me, so much so that I dont need the included ear hook. The in ear design blocks out alot of ambient noise and is very helpful during conversations in noisy places. I have worn it all day without issue but can see how some might not like something deep in their ear. All listed features work flawlessly with the razr2 v9m. All in all a very well built headset.
Stunning as bluetooth earphones
- Pros: Respectable clarity in both stereo audio and recording. Lightweight and relatively comfortable (if you are used to in-ears already). Sound quality is superb for such bluebooth earpieces. I own the Shure E5cs and SE530s so even though I do appreciate proper sounding earphones, these have relatively clean mids, okay highs (tiny bit too bright), and slightly weak bass; however, there is no clipping what-so-ever, so you never feel like you are using cheap earphones substitutes. The width of the soundstage is surprisingly wide and these are truly stereo earphones (I would say these are better than your regular Sony's, but thats really not saying much either). Factor in the fact that these are wireless and run on battery with a mic attached, it becomes a brilliant product.
- Cons: The earphone tips are a bit hard...but thats really nit-picking.
- Other Thoughts: Unlike what some people claim, the controls are pretty intuitive and properly placed. For this deal on Newegg, I can't see any other product coming close to this pair of earphones. I have these linked on to both my phone and my laptop; works great especially when traveling with your laptop.

It works
- Pros: Stereo headphone capability, size. Newegg (as always)
- Cons: Sound quality, connection, support
- Other Thoughts: I've been a die-hard Plantronics guy, but this product does not stand up to their typical quality. I've owned 5 Voyager 510's before this.
The main issue is the sound quality from both ends. It's great that it can be used as headphones, but with the poor quality, it's not worth listening to!
Connections are also a problem, it works intermittently and needs to be shut off at least once/day to "reset" itself.
I called Plantronics, and the guy said "The Voyager 510 is simply a better unit" - I asked him "Why would you sell this, and for more money?", he said "I don't know".
C'mon, Plantronics, you can do better than this!
good headset
- Pros: The headset connects to my phone and my laptop with relative ease. I use the headphones to work out in and they stay in my ears pretty good.
- Cons: The volume could stand to be a bit louder. the right side headphone feels like it's going to fall out sometimes.
Good for nothing
-
- Pros: - Cheap
- Stereo
- Works
- Cons: - Average call quality
- Low music quality
- Call button too big
- Earbud is too big to fit in ear
- Other Thoughts: Put some money into something of higher quality and value
