Plantronics Discovery 655
Headset | February 5th, 2008
The Plantronics Discovery 655 Bluetooth headset fuses cutting-edge technology with a sleek, ultra-light and discreet design to deliver a mobile experience unlike any other. With Digital Signal Processing (DSP) – the latest in audio technology – the Plantronics Discovery 655 reduces noise levels to provide enhanced sound for clear conversations. It weighs only 9 grams and comes with an innovative charging system and secure carrying pocket that provides up to 10 hours of talk time using the optional AAA battery charger, and includes a unique vibrate ring indicator. The Plantronics Discovery 655 sets the standard for style, mobility and performance.
The Plantronics Discovery 655 has Bluetooth 2.0 and it supports both Hands-Free and Headset Profiles. We paired it with quite a few phones and the Discovery 655 paired with every phone with ease. Press the call control button while the headset is turned off and hold it until the LED flashes red and blue alternately. Discover the headset using your mobile phone (you will see “6xxPlantronics” on most phones) and enter “0000” as the default pass code.
The 655 is a bit more slender than its predecessors. Instead of the same cylindrical shape of the previous models, it has a more tapered form factor. It’s also reasonably compact at only 0.6 by 0.5 by 2.0 inches and weighs a slight 0.3 ounces. Yet like its predecessors, the 655 fits directly in either ear with a rubberized ear gel. Overall the fit was comfortable and secure, and it even comes with two additional earbuds in different sizes. While there is an optional ear hook for increased stability, we preferred to go without it–the fit was tight and uncomfortable.
The Plantronics Discovery 655 expands on the innovative design of previous Discovery headsets, featuring a new, fashionable look and comfortable ergonomic fit that complements the contours and lines of the human face. Weighing only 9 grams, the Discovery 655 also employs digital signal processing (DSP) to actively reduce background noise for crystal-clear conversations. The Discovery 655 includes a unique AAA charging pocket that provides up to 10 hours of talk time and a headset storage jacket with a vibrate ring indicator to offer a convenient way to charge, store and transport the headset. The headset also comes with a mini-USB adapter to charge from a PC or mobile phone power supply.
