The Plantronics Vocalyst service is free for a full year (a USD $24.99 value) for Plantronics Savor customers. Vocalyst’s simple voice-driven services are powered by Dial2Do, a pioneer in delivering cloud-based voice services. Compatible with any phone, users can activate Vocalyst with a few simple steps at www.plantronics.com/vocalyst. Android™ and BlackBerry® smartphone users can also download the Plantronics Vocalyst application at respective app stores.

Users can answer or ignore incoming calls by simply saying, “Answer” or “Ignore”. The Plantronics Savor also includes whispered voice alerts for low battery and lost connection.

Precision Audio Performance

The Plantronics Savor features three microphones that work collaboratively to ensure every word is heard clearly during conversations. Two of the three microphones capture the user’s voice and simultaneously cancel background noise. The third microphone automatically activates when in extremely noisy situations, helping to overcome the most challenging environments while maximising battery life.

The three mics work with AudioIQ3, the next generation of Plantronics’ AudioIQ® digital signal processing (DSP) technology, to preserve the natural voice. This means users do not sound robotic and improves speech accuracy. Plantronics Savor also includes WindSmart® technology to reduce wind noise when taking calls in the car or on a busy street, and its premium speaker and automatic volume adjustments mean that users don’t have to put a hand over their ear to hear inbound audio.

Discreet Design and Comfort

The Plantronics Savor M1100 has a compact and lightweight design, featuring a stylish boom that ensures a subtle profile, while also maximising audio performance by allowing for optimal mic placement. It includes soft gel ear tips in three different sizes and an optional ear loop to provide multiple wearing options and a comfortable fit. The Plantronics Savor provides up to four hours of talk time and seven days of standby time.
