Wireless Headset Review - Plantronics SupraPlus Wireless Professional Headset

About a year ago I picked up a CS361N Binaural SupraPlus Wireless Professional Headset System with the noise-canceling feature, and I love it!

Now I have to say, that I didn’t realize after using a corded headset for 6 years what a huge difference this would make, but it does.  No more cord dragging me down!

We’ve tested the 300 foot reception claim, and were able to extend that by about 100 feet through 4 walls!  That’s much further then I will ever need to go in my home office, or at work. So that’s a big thumb up in my book.
The sound quality with a little tweaking was unrivaled, and the noise cancelling feature worked great as well. 

Here is the full list below from Plantronics of all the capabilities.

Highlights
• Noise-Canceling microphone
• Binaural style
• Ensure call privacy with 64-bit digital encryption
• Extended hands-free talk time up to 10 full hours
• Roam up to 300 feet from your desk phone
• Over-the-head, comfortable design for all-day use
• Premium audio ensures quality customer communications

I really enjoy using this headset and give it my highest recommendation.
