The sliding Boom mic really did have a difference when it came to call quality, not that the call quality was too bad without the extension. Outgoing audio was pretty good as well. The amount of noise that you’d usually hear while traveling or otherwise while you’re listening to someone who’s using a BT headset was remarkably low. Incoming call quality was a bit muffled, but still quite clear nonetheless. I was able to distinguish all callers’ tones quite clearly and thanks to the vacuum created with the in-ear styling the level of disturbance at my end was minimized. It also filters out quite a high level of disturbances that would come in from the callers end as well. This is all thanks to Plantronics’ proprietary AudioIQ technology. What it does is digitally enhance sound quality on both sides of a call. Media Audio I was not too thrilled with the sound quality when it came to music playback via A2DP enabled devices - media players and handsets. The audio had a tendency to jar the speakers a bit when the volume was raised to peak level. The quality was not bad with a rather true full-spectrum of stereo sound. Even with the jarring, the bass line could have had a little more thump. Once you’ve managed to find that volume ‘sweet-spot’ that keeps the speaker vibrations at bay and is still loud enough to satisfy your audio requirement, you’ll find the overall tone quite pleasant. Finding this spot will take a little practice, but I assure you, it won’t take you more than a couple of tries. The switching between music and a call is clean with no hiccup in the line. The connection was seamless. Battery The company claimed that the Plantronics Voyager 855 would provide users up to 7 hours of usage and the device managed to clock in at 6 hours and 40 minutes of non-stop usage. Which is not too bad at all and falls short by just a few minutes. I honestly did expect a little more though considering the price once again. The Bottom Line The Voyager 855 comes with a rather heavy price tag of Rs. 6, 799 that makes it a rather premium product that’s not for the average users. It does manage to provide really good sound quality at a high price. There are alternatives from i.Tech but you will have to sacrifice on style. So if you do have the money, it’s something you can consider if you’re looking at almost crystal clear sound quality for calls and music. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – if you've got it flaunt it even if it burns a hole in your wallet. |
