New Marque 2 Rounds Out Consumer Offerings
Few technology companies continue to deliver communication devices that
introduce new innovations year after year quite like Plantronics
(NYSE: PLT). Whether you’re a smartphone junkie, mobile professional,
commuter, music enthusiast, or looking to go pro in gaming, Plantronics
had you covered in 2012, and today it adds to the lineup with the new
Marque 2™ headset.
As the perfect companion for smartphone enthusiasts, Marque 2,
Plantronics’ smallest and lightest weight headset, lets you listen to
music or stream audio and Internet radio – all while managing calls
without pressing buttons – just say “Answer” or “Ignore.” Dual
microphones reduce noise and wind for clear and crisp call quality. Free
apps from Plantronics enhance the Marque 2 experience even further. And,
its new DeepSleep™ power‐saving mode means your Marque 2 is always ready
when you are with up to 11 hours of talk time, 16 hours of standby or
150 days in hibernation mode.
