Plantronics Delivers the Ideal Smartphone Companion

September 29, 2011

NEW MARQUE HEADSET ALLOWS YOU TO TALK OR LISTEN WHILE YOU TAP, TEXT AND SWIPE ON YOUR IPHONE

Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today extended its family of Bluetooth® products with the launch of the Plantronics Marque M155 Bluetooth® headset. Designed as the ideal companion for the iPhone and Android smartphone, the Marque is sleek, lightweight and easy to use. It is enabled with voice recognition so users can answer or ignore calls completely hands-free and is enriched with audio streaming capabilities which allow users to listen to music, GPS directions or email, whilst providing the great stereo quality that Plantronics customers depend on. Marque users can access all this through a free iPhone or Android app.

Plantronics is dedicated to helping smartphone users stay connected in work, life and play and is confident the Marque will simplify this transition. Smartphones, such as the iPhone, have seen impressive growth over the last few years and consumers have quickly come to depend on the all-in-one devices. Whether used as a phone, a diary, an email device, or all of the above, having a smartphone is now seen as not just smart, but a necessity. In fact, IHS Research* reports that by 2015, more than half of handsets in use will be smartphones.

“We have designed a headset that takes advantage of many smartphone features, such as listening to music and using apps,” said Stuart Bradshaw, Plantronics EMEA Head of Consumer Marketing “The Marque is Plantronics’ smallest headset, offering excellent sound quality in an amazingly lightweight design, to complement and simplify our busy lives”

MYHEADSET™ APP MAKES IT EASIER

The Marque simplifies communicating for iPhone and Android smartphone users with an easy-to-use app, currently available in the Android Market and Apple App Store. The app provides one-touch pairing and a sound check before you make that important call and also helps users familiarize themselves with the added functionality of the headset, such as streaming music. The app also provides users with all information usually found hidden inside the box, such as a set-up guide and FAQs, meaning all support and guidance is at the tips of your fingers any time. It even shows you the battery level of Marque on your iPhone screen.

YOUR SMARTPHONE’S NEW BEST FRIEND

The Marque is the ultimate companion to smartphones, with a sleek curved design that is available in either Jet Black or Arctic White for ultimate accessory co-ordination. Additionally the Marque comes with an innovative 2-in-1 USB charging cable, so users can conveniently charge their headset and smartphone together, with no need to carry around multiple charging adapters.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY

Marque M155 is available for £49.99/€59.99 at selected electronic retailers from late October. For more information, please visit: www.plantronics.com.
