The sound quality is excellent, though, once I get a song to actually start playing.

Look in the manual, there should be a way to turn the noise reduction off. It's usually pressing vol up and down at the same time. Did it with my 655 and it worked wonders with music, and didn't affect phone calls too bad. Had to turn it on for driving. Plus it almost doubles the talk time.

Nope, as far as I can tell, it can't be turned off. There's nothing in the manual, on the Plantronics website, or anywhere on the web that I could find.

I think you may be onto something in suggesting this idea, though. I feel like I'm "one tweak away" from getting it to work really well. In the meantime, this skipping stuff is driving me nuts.

Any ideas welcome!

Or maybe we should just put a rubberband around our heads to hold it on. Like these guys lol

This is by far the best hands free set up ever!!!!

Finally! My Plantronics 655 came today, and it fits PERFECTLY! No sound issues like with the Jawbone, no white noise or pairing problems like with the Z9, and the ear bud is far more comfortable than the 855 "in-canal" type. w00t!

I got the Plantronics 855 a week ago. Awesome, Beautiful.

I'm gonna skip details on the mono aspect. They work great, sound great. The multi earbuds are good but the defaults worked great for me.

I'm using them with my 680 Mogul. Stereo sound was ok but for in ear plugs they appeared to lack in bass.

I downloaded and installed the SRS WOW HD audio plugin and....well it was just WOW. You wouldn't believe the amount of bass these babies can pump out.

One of the biggest complaints I've heard about the 855 is that they give an appearance that "you are one of those people that wear a BT headset all day". To be honest. I don't see what is wrong with that. In this era of on demand requests, having a headset eliminates you picking up your phone every two mins.

Furthermore. The headset portion is really smal and good looking. It has a sliding boom mic just in case you need it.
