The Plantronics CS55 Micro
I’ve been getting tons of email asking me what’s my favorite headset for use in the office. That’s a tough one, but I can tell you the one I do use most often. The Plantronics CS55 Micro sits on my desk right next to my phone, and I love it. Here’s why:
- It’s freaking tiny!
- When I’m wearing it there’s no telescoping mic in front of my mouth or pressing up against my cheek.
- With my long, fabio hair it stays hidden
- It has a 10 hour battery life
- Super dependable
Now there are a few things that I know are problems with this guy, since it’s so small and has no telescoping mic, it has no noise-canceling. But who cares? I don’t. I like my headsets tiny and unobtrusive and not sitting in my ear. Because it is so small it also gives my voice a “tinny” sound on the other end, again, not a big deal to me. People hear me clearly, I hear them clearly, and the headset is very “micro.” I could be using something a little more fancy like the BW900 or the CS70N, but my heart stays with the Plantronics CS55 Micro. I believe there’s only one place to get this puppy as well, over at Headsets.com.
