The Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset can be used for voice calls as well as listen to music on a mobile phone in full spectrum stereo sound. It can be switched from mono to stereo mode using the detachable stereo earbud cable. The Voyager 855 also features the ability to seamlessly switch between calls and music playback. The music will pause when a call comes in and will resume when the call is ended.
The Voyager 855 comes in a black and silver color scheme and measures 2.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches. Without the stereo earbuds, the compact headset weighs in at only 0.38 ounces. With the attachment, the device weighs 0.5 ounces. The headset has a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that has a rated battery life of 7 hours of talk time, 160 hours on stand by and up to 6 hours of music playback.
The device comes with an AC charger which connects via a micro USB cable, additional ear loops and ear buds as well as the stereo cable attachment.
The Voyager 855’s ear buds feature an in-ear design that blocks out unwanted background noise as well as seals in the sound. The boom has a sliding mechanism that allows the wearer to get the microphone closer. The slide may also be used to answer incoming calls as well as hang up a call.
With Plantronics’ AudioIQ technology, ambient noises are minimized while the sound of natural voices are digitally enhanced making for better clarity on both ends of the conversation. Pairing the Voyager 855 to a Bluetooth-enabled phone is also easier with the manufacturer’s QuickPair technology.
The Plantronics Voyager 855 is a headset with a split personality. It looks and acts like a regular headset that, when attached to its included secondary earpiece, becomes a set of A2DP stereo headphones. Ricky tries it out and likes what he hears. Read more
Above, a quick video detailing my thoughts on the Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth Stereo Headset ($99.95). The Voyager 855 is a neat little headset and fairly versatile with two snazzy features. The first is that it has a slide-out boom microphone which also let you answer and hang up on phone calls. The second is that it comes with a specialized earhook attached to a 2nd headphone - turning it from a regular Bluetooth headset into an A2DP Bluetooth headset. Read more
This sleek convertible headset can juggle your calls and tunes, but the call quality could be better. Read more
The Voyager 855 is a pleasure to use. It is light, uses noise isolation gels instead of a flat speaker, and has great sound quality. I have not tried it with my phone yet but I do not expect my cheap Motorola phone to have a great BT antenna so I will review this based solely on the results I've had from pairing it with my Kensington Micro BT adapter on my Asus Eee 4G (a great combo and the best non-invasive way to add BT to a cheaper model Eee I think). So far I have... Read more
The ease of use was good and bluetooth setup to phone was easy. Sound quality is not good. Even with volume all the way up, I could hear better on my phone than the headset. Callers heard more feedback than when just on phone too. Noise canceling is non existent on this headset. Read more
Great sound isolation, good sound quality, piece of cake to setup with my Moto Q 9M. Read more
Though my order was backordered for over a month, I finally received the product and I must say...it was worth the wait. I travel fairly often and I truly appreciate the wireless convenience of the Voyager 855. Setup was easy, and, the unit paired with both my ipod and my blackberry. I can easily switch sources and the battery life is more than adequate. Sound quality is crisp and clear, but, personally, I would like a stronger bass response. Overall, the product is e...
