Tired of those, long wires sprouting out of your iPod, laptop, home stereo, television, etc., when using headphones? Well, aren't we all? Great Sound, No Wires The Plantronics Pulsar 590a uses multipoint technology to function as both a stereo headset for high fidelity listening, as well as a communications headset for use with mobile phones and other voice-enabled devices. The headset includes a telescopic voice tube with an omnidirectional microphone for clear voice communications. Its extended range capabilities provide users with great mobile freedom and enables them to listen to music or have conversations up to 10 metres away from their laptop, music device or mobile phone.

The Pulsar 590 provides up to 12 hours of talk time and 10 hours of listen time, so users stay in touch and in tune all the time. Comfort and Choice The Pulsar 590 has a familiar headband wearing style with pivoting ear cushions that provide all-day wearing comfort. The portable, lightweight headset features a foldable design for compact charging and travel storage and is delivered with a full range of accessories, including a desktop charging stand, charger, USB charging cable, in-flight cable and travel case. The in-flight cable allows the headset to be used with the Bluetooth radio disabled, a requirement for most airline travel.

Comfortable headhones with reasonable quality and nice features Anonymous

4/5

I got these to replace my logitech wirelss headphones which have an inherent design fault .

These are not quite as sexy looking as the white logitech ones but they do everything that those do, plus they have a microphone and work with a mobile. They sync'ed ok with my mobile first time although i don't suppose i'll use them for that much.

The quality with the phone is acceptable but not brilliant

Use with my ipod, the music quality is very good but again not quite as brilliant as top end headphones

for the money thought excellent
and to be wire free is a wonderful feeling

I especially like being able to use them at the gym and not worry about getting wires caught on the rower or treadmill. It also means you don't have to have your ipod fixed to your body if you don't want to .

Bluetooth range is limited but i found it adequate for my purposes

Overall a good buy.

Wins over logitech ones because unlike those

a) these come with a nice charger stand
b) these come with a case
c) they are very comfortable to wear and adjustable for your head shape

Plantronics Pulsar 590a Mary D

4/5

So far, after a days use, these headphones live up to expectation. The sound quality of both the music played through them and the phone call quality are adequate. The headphones are light enough to wear for long periods, although you do definitely know that you're wearing them. It was easy to pair the headphones to a number of bluetooth devices. The bundled accessories, cables etc are a nice touch. I particularly love the desk stand. However I do have a couple of negative comments about them. They do leak a lot of sound, even at relativey low volume, which may cause annoyance to others in public situations. I don't like the blue flashing light on unit as it might attract unwanted attention, particularly as the headset looks very attractive! Since I use the headphones with an iPod Nano, i'd prefer the universal bluetooth adapter to have been slghtly more compact. The last moan I have is that the telescopic mic is a bit awkward to extend and it certainly requires two hands. Even with the concerns described I'd still feel fine about giving the headphones atleast a four star rating here.
