SPEAKERPHONE WIRELESSLY BROADCASTS CALLS, GPS NAVIGATION AND MUSIC FROM MOBILE PHONES WHILE YOU DRIVE
Plantronics (NYSE:PLT) today expanded its family of Bluetooth® products
with the new K100™ in-car speakerphone. The Plantronics K100 offers a
robust combination of advanced audio technology, ease-of-use and
enhanced features for convenient, hands-free conversations in the car.
This is part of a range of smart communications devices that are geared
for the growing mobile worker and is encased in environmentally sound
packaging featuring a new brand identity.
Audio Performance
The Plantronics K100 includes dual microphones and digital signal
processing (DSP) technology that keeps the user’s voice sharp and clear,
while limiting surrounding noise. Echo-cancellation improves listening
on both sides of the call, while a high-quality speaker ensures every
call is heard clearly. The Plantronics K100 also includes an integrated
FM transmitter so users can hear conversations, stream music, podcasts,
GPS navigation from their smartphones, straight to their car stereo
system.
User Convenience
The Plantronics K100 is very easy to setup and use, and features
convenient voice alerts for pairing, low-battery, mute, and connection
status. A dedicated one-touch mute button with voice confirmation
provides confidence that the feature is engaged. Large buttons let you
control the K100 while keeping your eyes on the road, and a handy micro
USB charger means the speakerphone never has to leave the car.
“The K100 is the perfect in-car solution for users to take calls, listen
to music and be productive, while keeping both hands on the wheel,” said
Stuart Bradshaw, EMEA Consumer Marketing Manager at Plantronics. “We
think consumers will be delighted by the K100 speakerphone’s great audio
performance, simplicity and affordability.”
Design and Additional Features
The Plantronics K100 features a slim design with a sturdy clip that
stays securely in place on the visor. The Plantronics K100 delivers up
to 17 hours of talk time and 15 days of standby time.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
The Plantronics K100 has a price of £59.99 RRP and will be available
from 1st November at Carphone Warehouse and other leading retailers.
