Plantronics Voyager PRO Review

Summary

 

The Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth headset pushes the limit of noise-canceling headset technology. Features include two noise-canceling mics on a boom, AudioIQ technology, and three layers of WindSmart technology to cut down on wind noise. A single battery charge can power up to six hours of continuous talk time and up to five days of standby.

The Plantronics Voyager PRO is a behind-the-ear headset and has a very comfortable and durable design. Plantronics QuickPair technologies make setting up the headset quick and painless. The Voyager PRO supports Bluetooth 2.1 as well as EDR and SSP.

Plantronics Discovery 925 Review

Summary

The Discovery 925 also takes advantage of Plantronics’ new AudioIQ digital noise cancellation, which adjusts noise levels on both sides of the call, rather than merely the outgoing audio. For instance, in a noisy bar, the Discovery 925 will not only cut background noise by 7 to 8 decibels (about 50 percent) for listeners on the other end, it will also detect the noisy conditions and automatically boost volume level, quality and clarity with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.

Hands-on with new Plantronics products

Hands-on with new Plantronics products

Plantronics and their subsidiary Altec Lansing announced several new products at CES, and we were there to test them in person.

The new Altec Lansing BackBeat 906 is a Bluetooth headset that’s in-ear (similar to the iPod headphones) and slips around the back of your ear, and includes dual microphones for clear reception when you take a call. We listened to some hip-hop and rap on the new device and there’s enough tonal range and bass to rival some expensive headphones from Sony. The microphones can be set in “open” mode so you can hear your surroundings without having to remove the headset. And, the grips on the ear buds adjust for the best fit.

Plantronics CALISTO PRO Review

Summary

Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset

When it comes to differentiating Bluetooth headsets in a market crowded with hundreds of competing models sporting nearly identical features, style is everything. Companies working the style angle with headsets usually strive for one of two design extremes: either making a headset as discrete, tiny and unobtrusive as possible, or as futuristic, flashy and eye-catching as possible.

Between these two divergent schools of design, the Plantronics Discovery 925 most definitely follows the latter. From its conspicuous color choices, to its unique V-frame design, the headset begs to be seen, but also packs a well-rounded feature set that would seem to warrant the attention.
