New Wideband Headsets Provide Professional Grade Audio Clarity and Reliability for PC-Based Conversations
Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today expanded its growing portfolio of
Unified Communications headsets Optimised for Microsoft Office
Communicator with the new wideband .Audio™ 630M USB binaural headset
and the .Audio™ 615M USB monaural headset. The qualification process
ensures business users will benefit from a superior end user experience
for calls initiated through Microsoft Office Communicator 2007.
Wideband utilises more than twice the audio bandwidth of conventional
telephony to greatly enhance intelligibility. The new .Audio wideband
headsets provide users with the feeling of true “face-to-face”
conversations, resulting in improved business communication during
PC-based audio and video conference calls, and person-to-person calls.
“As unified communication voice applications become mainstream, business
users and IT decision makers require the highest quality headsets to
ensure a positive experience,” said Graeme Gherbaz, Managing Director,
Plantronics Australia and New Zealand. “Developing products that are
qualified by Microsoft adds value for our customers who want to
experience improved communication and more effective collaboration.
Both headsets are lightweight and comfortable with a flexible headband.
Users connect to their PCs via USB, which provides enhanced digital
audio for consistent sound quality. In addition to providing wideband
audio, the .Audio 630M headset enables users to listen to music in
stereo. The .Audio 615M is an easy-to-use wideband headset for users of
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007.
“Office Communicator 2007 is transforming business communications by
providing the most advanced and seamless unified communications
experience,” said Gherbaz. “Because Plantronics’ wideband .Audio 615M
and .Audio 630M headsets are Optimised for Microsoft Office
Communicator, businesses have confidence their employees may use
these products for clear voice communications and optimal productivity.”
The products will be available from October and may be purchased through
authorised Plantronics resellers. The .Audio 630M, a multi-purpose
binaural headset featuring stereo, has an MSRP of AUD$ 99.00 inc. GST.
The .Audio 615M, a monaural headset, has an MSRP of AUD$ 89.00 inc. GST.
