Plantronics Voyager 855

Has anyone gotten a chance to try out this new A2DP headset?

It has earbuds, unlike the slightly annoying Jabra BT8010

5 Hr a2dp battery life :(

Yeah, I just noticed no caller id display too...

I have an SE HBH-DS970
The battery life could be better and it only displays numbers not names but sound quality is excelent.

I don't think it's out yet... I believe the release date is around the end of next month.

I actually like this thing so far. I use the dual ear plug designs because I spend a lot of time in datacenters or busy offices where it is hard for me to hear. I like to be able to concentrate on what I am hearing. When you are trying to go deaf from too many Rush concerts you have to be selective on the gear you buy.

Anyone found a site with these in stock yet?

Best Buy and others are carrying them, I have purchased several of them and I really enjoy them for being an all in one solution. I would like better AudioIQ and Mic as seen in the 665 versions, but for now its battery life works ok, I see between 4 and 6 hours of solid use, purchasing 2 of them will get you through a days worth of airplane travel and they have great standby time. The music isn't bad and the lack of cables makes them function pretty well for my needs...

I was tempted to get the 855, but purchased the 590A instead. I am very satisfied with their fit and preformance. Those earbuds dont always stay properly secured for me.

I agree, but the 855 ships with multiple earbuds and the built in loop makes it very usable...
