Plantronics just replaced its .Audio 350 headset -- a stereo gaming or VOIP-ing headset, not a cell phone model -- with the .Audio 355. But the company has tons of the 350s still available, so it's letting me give a bunch of them away to you guys.
Here's the unadulterated marketing-speak on the phones (I've never used them so I can't offer a review, alas):
For quality and versatility, choose the Plantronics .Audio 350 multimedia headset. Forty-millimeter speakers deliver studio-quality audio with maximum bass response -- so music, DVDs, and games are even more enjoyable. Outstanding voice quality, precise microphone placement, and noise-canceling features ensure that Internet callers hear you clearly. And games never sounded better.
Highlights
- 40 mm speakers convey rich, resonant stereo with maximum bass response
- Lightweight, flexible headband delivers plush all-day comfort
- Noise-canceling microphone boosts speech recognition accuracy
- QuickAdjust telescoping, bendable boom assures ideal placement
- Boom stows discreetly when not in use
- Swivel-mounted, pillow-soft ear cushions provide comfort and acoustic precision
- Inline volume and mute offer convenient access and control
- Works with popular PC sound cards
Retail value: About $30.

MOM, Just wanted to say HI.
Hello mother! Love you!
My mother died 23 years ago but I can say hi to you, Christopher and thanks for the chance to win the headphones. This sounds like a GREAT set of headphones. I would love to have a set since that is the only way I play games on my computer is through a set, otherwise I have to have the volume really loud, which totally irratates my hubby!
Hiya mom!
