SANTA CRUZ, Calif.— Nov. 19, 2015 — Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in audio and wearable technology, today announced that its BackBeat SENSE wireless stereo headphones and Voyager Focus UC wireless active noise-canceling stereo headset have been named 2016 CES Innovation Awards Honorees in the Headphones product category. This is the eighth consecutive year that the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has recognized Plantronics solutions as Innovation Award honorees.
Products submitted to the CTA for award consideration are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 27 product categories.
“We create solutions for people who want an amazing audio experience regardless of location or situation; whether you’re a music-loving commuter, an open-office worker, or working remote at home or from a coffee shop, “ said Lori Langona, director of consumer marketing, Plantronics. “We greatly appreciate the CTA’s recognition of the BackBeat SENSE and Voyager Focus UC and look forward to showcasing these devices and more during CES 2016.”
About BackBeat SENSESmart wireless headphones, BackBeat SENSE offers an 18-hour battery life and feather-light design built to be worn comfortably all day as you listen to your favorite music. These on-ear headphones offer signature Plantronics audio performance and include smart sensor technology that automatically pauses your music when you remove your headphones, then resumes when you put them back on. BackBeat SENSE also offers unique OpenMic technology for those times you’ll need to tune into the outside world without wanting to remove your headphones, just by touching a button. The wireless Advanced Class 1 Bluetooth® technology lets you control up to two connected devices from up to 330 feet away—the length of a football field—while the fold-flat earcups and durable carrying case make BackBeat SENSE your partner on-the-go.
About Voyager Focus UCVoyager Focus UC is the industry’s first wireless Bluetooth® stereo headset with active noise-cancellation technology designed to reduce noise and distraction in open, collaborative and remote workspaces.

Voyager Focus UC is also the first product to market with Dynamic Mute Alert, which senses and alerts users if they are speaking while muted. A premium product for unified communications (UC) and multimedia applications, Voyager Focus UC provides all day comfort, intuitive smart sensor technology, audio alerts, and wideband audio and hi-fi stereo sound for outstanding calling and media experiences. Three precisely-tuned microphones and noise-canceling algorithms reduce noise caused by keyboard clatter, close-talkers, and movement, while optimizing voice intelligibility.
