Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today expanded its award-winning family of

The new lineup includes the Plantronics .Audio(TM)
476 DSP, the Plantronics .Audio
646 DSP, the Plantronics .Audio
626 DSP and the upgraded .Audio 655 DSP. Ideal for podcasts and
PC-based conversations on services including Skype and Google Talk, each
headset combines a noise-cancelling microphone with advanced DSP
technology that work together to effectively remove ambient noise, while

sound when listening to music and gaming by combining the DSP technology
with premium speakers and a precise fit.
