NEW FEATURES CREATE A MULTI-TASKING HEADSET FOR THE SMARTPHONE GENERATION
Plantronics (NYSE:PLT) today expanded its family of Bluetooth® products
with the new Plantronics Voyager® PRO+ Bluetooth® headset, the next
version of the award-winning Voyager PRO and a favourite among
enthusiasts. This is part of a range of smart headsets that are geared
for the growing smartphone user base and is encased in environmentally
sound packaging featuring a new brand identity.
Performance with a Plus
With flexible, mobile and dispersed working practices now becoming the
norm, workers need technology that is reliable and supports their
lifestyle. The Voyager PRO+ is designed for the growing smartphone
generation with new features including A2DP technology for streaming
music, podcasts and GPS navigation; convenient enhanced voice alerts for
remaining talk time, volume, phone connection, low battery warnings,
mute status and out-of-range and also an iPhone headset meter that
allows users to monitor battery levels.
Engineered for the Mobile Professional
The Plantronics Voyager PRO+ was designed for the mobile professional
user who demands superior noise cancellation in noisy environments. It
includes easily accessible power, volume and mute buttons, can
seamlessly connect to two different mobile phones with multipoint
technology, and it folds up easily for storage. 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.
Engineered for Sound Quality
The Plantronics Voyager PRO+ delivers this with AudioIQ2, Plantronics’
digital signal processing (DSP) technology, 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, the 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.
“Today’s smartphone generation want a headset that complements a smarter
lifestyle and audio quality they can rely on” said Stuart Bradshaw, EMEA
Consumer Marketing Manager. “The Voyager PRO+ defines a new vision from
hands-free convenience and is made to complement life on the go. With
the combination of the Plantronics signature audio performance, and
optimum comfort and usability, it makes it the ideal companion to the
latest generation of smartphones and devices.”
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
The Plantronics Voyager PRO+ is available for £79.99 RRP and will be
available from 1st November at Apple, Orange and Maplin.
