    "The Best Looking/Performing HeadSet!"

    by CooLVick$ on August 27, 2006

    Pros: Looks Excellent, Feels Good, Performs Good; Comes with a USB charging addon.

    Cons: Doesn't come in a carrying case and as accessory packed as 640 comes.

    Summary: Before I bought the Discovery 655, I was using the Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth Headset and was quite happy with it except for these things:

    1. Even though 640 is a tiny headset, I really never liked it's shape.
    2. It didn't have DSP [Digital Signal Processing] and that meant occasional noisy conversations.
    3. Most of the times you were unsure if the HeadSet got connected to the Charger and it felt as if it would fall out of it.

    With the Discovery 655, Plantronics has addressed all these problems and has added some features which everyone would love. I have highlighted the main changes here:

    1. Is the best looking heaset around. It's silver black color scheme looks fabulous both when it is on the ear as well as off it.
    2. It has DSP, that means clear conversations even in Noisy environments. And Yes! the DSP does work well.
    3. Comes with a charger addon which enables you to charge it using a USB Port of your Computer/Laptop. This feature will be loved by Professionals on the go.
    4. You can actually feel the HeadSet getting connected with the charger and to confirm that it will vibrate once when the charging actually starts.

    Though the 655 doesn't come with the sleek looking carrying case and charger add-ons like 640 came, the headset will still be a best seller and I personally love it :).
