As long as you're not the littlest hobo, you'll love the Pulsar 590A's stylish desktop charging stand, a great reminder to charge your cans as you come through the door. The natty stereo dongle charges from it, too, although the 590As can be paired...

Plantronics - Pulsar 590A

 

At first glance the Pulsar 590A seems to be a chunky stereo headset which sits on a rather stylish stand, but looks a bit over-designed. After a fair amount of use, this impression remains, but the ...

If you shop around you should be able to find the Pulsar 590A for under 100, which is a bit of a bargain for a piece of kit that has so many different uses.

Personal audio and headset functions without the reels of wires.

Setting up the Pulsar 509As involves the same simple process as every other Bluetooth device

The Pulsar 509A proves to have a bit of a dual personality ; incoming and outgoing sound quality for phone calls is clear and impressive, but in contrast the sound channelled from music players lacks the same crispness instead sounding quite tinny and...

Plantronics Pulsar 590A

 

The asking price for the Plantronics Pulsar 590A Ultimate Stereo Bluetooth Headset will be a sticking point for many consumers, but in terms of getting value for money they're hard to overlook.

Great wireless range ; Easy switching between Bluetooth and Wireless audio

Headphones can get a touch warm ; Constant flashing

If these are Plantronics' "Ultimate" Bluetooth headset, does that mean the company's going to go out of business? Leaving such imponderables aside, the Pulsar 590A Ultimate Stereo Bluetooth Headset comes recommended to those hardcore music junkies who...
