Wirelessly broadcasts calls, GPS and music from mobile devices – all hands free!
Plantronics® (NYSE: PLT) today expanded its family of Bluetooth®
products with the new K100™ Bluetooth in-car speakerphone. The
Plantronics K100 is the perfect practical Christmas present for friends
and family who like to stay connected while travelling, offering a
combination of advanced audio technology, ease-of-use and enhanced
features for convenient, hands-free conversations in the car.
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 A2DP
technology so users can stream music, podcasts, GPS navigation and more
from A2DP-enabled phones, such as the iPhone®, BlackBerry® Torch™ and
DROID™ by Motorola.
Convenience while Driving
The Plantronics K100 is 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 an included handy
in-car 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 GPS navigation and be productive, while keeping both hands on the
wheel,” said Peter Petrides, National Retail Sales Manager for
Plantronics in Australia. “The K100 is also a great Christmas present
for friends or family, it will help them stay in touch and stay safe
when they’re driving. We think consumers will be delighted by the K100
speakerphone’s great audio performance, simplicity and affordability.”
Design and Additional Features
Weighing only 92 Grams, the Plantronics K100 features a slim design with
a sturdy clip that stays securely in place on the sun-visor. It has the
additional flexibility of an FM transmitter that gives drivers the
option to hear conversations and other audio through the car’s speakers.
The Plantronics K100 delivers up to 17 hours of talk time and 15 days of
standby time, all in a 2.5 hour charge time.
The Plantronics K100 has a RRP of AUD $129.00 and will be available in
