Plantronics is the imitation of Panasonic?


Very expensive toilet.


I went window shopping for headsets today. Particularly looking for the Sennheiser that I wanted. Didn't find a single store that had Sennheiser products. I think I'm look for them at the wrong places.

Anyway, I went into this store in 1Utama. ****apple store.

Man: Yes miss? Can I help you?
Me: Yes, I'm looking for headsets.
Man: With microphones?
Me: *Duhhhh* Yes.
Man: We have ...*names me all the brand they had*
Me: Actually I'm looking for a few particular brand. Do you have *bla bla bla* or Plantronics?
Man: No.. but you can try this la.. very good one. *hands me a labtech headset*
Me: Never mind la, it's ok.
Man: No la, this one is good brand. A lot of people also come and buy this. Why you want Plantronics? That one is imitation one. You want Panasonic one is it?
Me: *walks out the store*

I felt unimpressed. I don't know if I should feel insulted, or just laugh.

Why do people think that females know nothing about technology and brands? Yes I have to admit that I'm not all that of a guru at the gadgets and stuff but I'm not that blur either. Plantronics is like the most famous brand when it comes to headsets...well, maybe that's not the first brand that will come to mind for PC headsets but a telecommunication headset includes PC (VoIP yo) headsets too! Plantronics is the imitation of Panasonic... must be the joke of the year! And don't all headsets consist of mics too? If I wanted headsets without the mic I would call them headphones!

Most have shops have LabTech's headset. Saw Sonic, some Logitech’s and Altec Lansing as well. Didn't like them though. I'm not sure which brand is better too But if I don't have a choice, I think I'll be getting a LabTech.

The mic on the headset is more important for me compared to the headphones. ... Anyone know any store that sells Plantronics headsets to home consumers? I think more firms uses it compared to home users.
