Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today continued its 47-year legacy of
audio expertise and ingenuity with the new Plantronics Voyager® PRO
Bluetooth® headset. Plantronics Voyager PRO features AudioIQ2, the next
generation of its AudioIQ digital signal processing (DSP) technology, to
deliver superior noise and wind cancellation as well as rich, natural
inbound audio so you can hear and be heard clearly.
The Plantronics Voyager PRO is the successor to the popular Plantronics
Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset, a cult favorite among headset
enthusiasts. Like the Voyager 510, the new Plantronics Voyager PRO is
designed for mobile professionals who need all-day wearing comfort and
excellent audio wherever they are working.
Engineered for Sound Quality
Today’s headset users expect great noise cancellation and Plantronics
Voyager PRO delivers it with AudioIQ2 and a unique adjustable
dual-microphone boom. While other headsets deliver noise cancellation at
the expense of overall audio quality, the boom provides the advantage of
capturing your voice close to your mouth so the AudioIQ2 technology can
more effectively remove ambient noise, while still maintaining the
natural sound of your voice.
The headset also effectively minimizes wind noise – a major cause of
disruption during calls. Plantronics Voyager PRO features three layers
of WindSmart® technology. Dual external stainless steel microphone
screens and acoustic fabrics that surround the microphones together
provide substantial physical barriers to wind noise. At the same time,
the AudioIQ2 DSP algorithms intelligently decipher your voice from the
wind to deliver clear sound to your listener.
Finally, Voyager PRO delivers unmatched inbound audio quality to ensure
every word is heard on both sides of a conversation. It features a
custom speaker that delivers full-spectrum audio so conversations are
richer and more vibrant. The adaptive 20-band equalizer delivers
distortion-free audio and works with AudioIQ2 to automatically adjust
sound levels based on the noise level around you to ensure maximum
audibility.
“Plantronics is singularly focused on one thing – the headset perfected.
With the Plantronics Voyager PRO we set out to engineer a
high-performance headset for today’s professional user who not only
demands unparalleled sound quality on both sides of call, but also
insists on comfort and usability,” said Renee Niemi, vice president and
general manager of the Plantronics Mobile and Entertainment Division.
“Voyager PRO breaks new ground in Bluetooth headsets, and consumers will
be delighted by the total experience.”
Engineered for Comfort
The Plantronics Voyager PRO endured an extraordinary 24 rounds of human
factors testing to perfect the design for all-day wearing comfort and
stability. The behind-the-ear wearing style is perfectly counterbalanced
so weight is distributed evenly, rendering it virtually weightless when
worn. The Voyager PRO ear tip is made of soft silicone for an optimal
fit and features a “sound channel” that helps distribute audio evenly to
the ear.
Engineered for the Mobile Professional
The Plantronics Voyager PRO was designed for the mobile professional
user. It includes easily accessible power, volume and mute buttons. It
can seamlessly connect to two different mobile phones with multipoint
technology, and it folds up easily for storage. The Voyager PRO also
features voice prompts for low battery warnings and mute status.
Finally, the lithium polymer battery provides up to six hours of
continuous talk time and five days of stand-by time, exceeding the talk
and standby times of most mobile phones.
