WoWasis travel field test review: the incredible Plantronics .Audio 480 USB headset

Written By: herbrunbridge - Jun• 27•11

Here at WoWasis, we tend to use stereo headphones a lot, for either Skype calls from around the globe, or listening to language instruction CDs. And you know how much we love miniaturization. We want everything small, durable, and light. That’s why we fell in love with our (soon to be discontinued) Plantronics .Audio 480 USB headset.

This incredible piece of engineering has a 5 inch boom mic, stereo earbuds with great sound, and comes in a nice leather pouch, only 5.5”x1.5”x1”. It has a USB dongle as well as standard male plugs. In its pouch, the entire product weighs just 2.2 ounces! It’s the one we carry around the world, and the sturdy pouch keeps it from the pounding that we always give our stuff. It will be replaced in August 2011 by Plantronics’ Blackwire 435, but we recommend you get the 480 while you still can. We’ll review the new one when it’s available, but we love our 480 so much, we’re not giving it up! Buy it now at the WoWasis estore, powered by Amazon.
