Plantronics has introduced .Audio 995, its new digital wireless stereo headset for multimedia and voice applications on the PC.

The .Audio 995, available at a price of $99.99, provides users with a single headset for all of their PC activities – including music and movie listening, gaming, PC calls and podcasting – without the cords.

Users can wirelessly roam up to 40 feet away from the PC and remotely control volume, play and skip tracks on iTunes and Windows Media Player via music controls directly on the earpiece.

The .Audio 995 headset uses Plantronics audio technology and the digital 2.4gHz frequency for better audio and lower interference with other wireless devices. The .Audio 995 connects in one simple step with the plug-and-play wireless USB connector.

Matt Miller, director of PC and Entertainment at Plantronics, said: “Consumers shouldn’t have to decide between superior audio quality and the benefits of wireless when selecting a PC headset. Unlike other wireless products on the market, there are no compromises with the .Audio 995. We designed it to enhance the array of multimedia and voice-intensive activities that PC users perform everyday through full-range stereo sound, clear audio and a comfortable fit.”
