590a Wireless Bluetooth headset

 4/5
I use it for VOIP conference calls with my laptop. Can be tricky to connect but once connected quality is good and headphones comfortable. Also works well with Nokia mobile phone. Nice not to have trailing wires.

Plantronics Pulsar 590A Review
Lewis
5/5
Simply amazing! Great sound quality better than my previous headphones which we'ren't wireless lol. Picked them up for a bargain of £25, reduced from £130. Definatly worth the money! Love using it with my MP3 and phone. Still trying to get it work with my PC but I'll figure it out eventually. WOW!

After a few set-up issues I got them to work and they are great. The brochure that comes with the headset could be better. A bit fidly to re-position for recharge, but they look and feel like quality.

4/5
On the whole I think this is a good value product which works well. Bit disappointed in a couple of areas: the range isn't as good as had been indicated in some other reviews particularly when going between rooms; I couldn't pair it properly with my Sony Vaio which meant I had to use the additional bluetooth transmitter plugged into myheadset jack....but this was a problem with my Vaio and not with the headset. Audio quality was good but it does seem to cut out every once in a while. Again, I don't think this is the headphones, more likely my mobile and I've had the odd complaint about sounding muffled when making calls but this could be down to the mobile or having bad reception. The seemless way that the headset transfers from the audio device to a mobile and then back again is very neat and works well. Battery life also seems to be very good. Apart from the odd gripe I am pleased with the product and it barely leaves my head these days. (The wife's started likening me to Robocop! Bit harsh I'd say.....)

AWESOME simply AWESOME!!! I do not exaggerate! Better than I could ever have imagined. Build & Sound Quality normally only reserved for expensive wired headphones. You won't regret buying at all, especially at these prices! And I must say thanx to LIGO for a prompt and efficent service. Cheers!

Pulsar 590 Bluetooth Headset
Mr. Richard Wicks
3/5
Received the headset from LiGo day after ordering, excellent service. Headset is nicely made and comes with everything that you could want, including a very nice case. Sound quality is good and range excellent at least 10 mtrs. More comfortable than my previous behind the neck Logitech Ipod Bluetooth headset, but still not comfortable enough for long term listening. Ear pads fairly hard and head band also uncomfortable for the follically challenged amongst us. Biggest problem that I have is finding a host supporting the A2DP protocol. I have managed to find some drivers for my DELL C820 Latitude and my DELL Axim X51v but neither work acceptably. Currently I have given up and have resorted to using the supplied Bluetooth dongle, which whilst only supporting stereo listening works flawlessly. Battery life on both items appears good and the supplied desk dock works well for recharging and keping things tidy.

Plantronics Pulsar 590a

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.

Very impressed

4/5
I had been looking around for a while for a pair of wireless headphones, I had read lots of review but decided on the Plantronics 590A's and I have not been disappointed. The headphones are comfortable, and come with connections for everything you could need. I only use them for listening to music and other sounds from the laptop (has inbuilt bluetooth) and all has worked with no problems. I cannot get the voice to work via the bluetooth and the laptop via Skype but I have a feeling this is more down to me than the headphones. One thing I did notice was that there is a very slight delay when syncing the sound to movies etc, nothing major just throws you the first time you do it. Highly recommended, and the Ligo service was very good to boot! nJoy

A fantastic buy
Anonymous
5/5
I bought these headphones after I decided that I was fed up having to untangle wires everytime I wanted to listen to my stereo. So how good are they? Well when used with a stereo they have fantastic quality and allow me to wander through my house without having to be tied to one place. When used with a mobile...this is where the sound quality is let down. For a conversation they are fantastic (I find it easier to hear people and they hear me better too) but if you want to listen to music then it isn't very good the sound is dull and bassy but this isn't due to the headphones this is due to the bluetooth capabilities of the mobile (I have a Nokia 6680). Hopefully phone makers will upgrade the bluetooth so that it can play the music as it should be. Ease of use? They are very easy to use. Just switch on and you're ready to go. Paring the device with a mobile isn't difficult at all. Comfortablity? They are fairly comfortable on the head though if one puts them around their neck it does have a few jagged edges which doesn't make for pleasent wearing. Definitely a worthwhile product

I bought this headset for my husband as a birthday gift. He was really impressed with it. He likes the fact he has stereo sound and also can walk anywhere in the house and still talk to his mates and listen to his music. He liked them so much he recommended them to a friend and now he has them too. WELL WORTH BUYING

My 1st Week With the headset
Anonymous
5/5
After my 1st week with the Plantronics Headset I can safely say it is a great piece of kit. The sound is crisp and at the same time the headphones deliver a true bass sound. The range so far Is over 100mtrs in an enclosed factory. I was able to make a last number redail call and still maintain quality sound whilst away from my bench. The battery life is astonishing. I have given the headset and dongle only 1 charge in over a week and half an hour each day during my dinner break and they last for a good 12hrs music playback and about 2hrs of calls a day. I would recomend these to anybody thinking of purchasing a Bluetooth stero headset in the near future

I wanted a pair of wireless headphones to use while working on my laptop or with an mp3 player in the gym. After a bit of internet research I found the Plantronics 590a Bluetooth set at a great price from Ligo. I ordered them on a friday night and they were delivered wednesday morning. It would have been nice to have been given a delivery day/time so I could plan ahead but this is not really any different to buying from Amazon etc. so can't complain. The product itself has exceeded my expectations. Sound quality is excellent both in terms of speaker performance and wireless quality. Wireless range is good enough to wander around the house without problem. The headphones come with a comprehensive range of accessories including universal hi-fi adapter, mains charger/docking station, usb charging cable, interconnect cable that allows you to use the headphones like a normal wired pair, sturdy travel case and even a replacement microphone tube. The design of the product is top notch as is build quality. They are comfortable enough to wear for sustained periods of several hours and battery life will be plenty for most users. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the flashing LED lights on the universal adapter and the headphone itself. Although the lights are really cool, they do flash constantly while in use which can be a bit annoying for yourself and other people in the same room. However, this is a very minor gripe and the fact that it is the only negative thing I can say just shows what a great product this really is. The 'phones can also be used as a bluetooth headset for your mobile phone. Although I have not tested this functionality, I can't imagine performance would be anyting less than excellent. To sum up, fantastic performance, high quality build, knock-out looks, excellent functionality, affordable price. Superb product.

Comfortable headhones with reasonable quality and nice features

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

Bluetooth Headset - Pulsar 590a
Mr. Jason Dalton

Brilliant sound and easy to use both MP3 and phone (at the same time as automatically switches between when calls received or ended). Service is excellent for LiGo as they were very flexible and easy to deal with.
