Plantronics unveils latest Bluetooth headsets

MANILA, Philippines — In 1969, American audio communications brand Plantronics provided the headset Neil Armstrong spoke through while taking man’s first steps on the moon.

More than 40 years down the road and the company continues to innovate on ways to make communicating simpler, yet smarter for mobile executives, road warriors, and smartphone users.

The Voyager Legend headset and the Marque 2 M165 headset, for example, are upgrades of previous versions: the Voyager Pro HD and Marque 1, respectively, and both models were unveiled on Tuesday at Ascott Makati.

The Voyager Legend is a sleek black device with a slim, silver multi-microphone that reduces wind, movement, and background noise by up to 70 percent, which enhances the user’s voice as well. Talk time with this unit is pegged up to seven hours.

The 18-gram gadget operates on voice commands, with the user able to answer a call by saying, “Answer,” or reject a call by saying, “Ignore.” More commands can be found by asking, “What can I say?” The Voyager Legend will also tell you who is on the line.

It is a “highly intelligent device,” said Plantronics senior country manager Josh Doctolero.

“If you are paired with a smartphone and you put the device on your ear, the device acknowledges that it is on your ear. When you remove it, and you have an incoming call, you have the option to wear it. You don’t have to press anything, just say “Answer” or “Ignore,” or answer it through your device,” he explained.

The Marque 2 is another tool to keep calling, listening, and viewing hands-free.

Users answer and ignore calls in a similar way. It also blocks background noise and minimizes wind interference through dual microphones.

The seven-gram Marque 2 can be powered up for up to six months, depending on use, as it enters DeepSleep mode when away from the paired phone.

“As the way we live and work continues to evolve, along with the increasingly remote workforces, Plantronics remains dedicated in helping people work smarter by providing products to help them work effectively across all work spaces,” said Doctolero.

The first headset company to develop software for headsets also offers it for free at the App Store and Google Play store.

“Our products allow you to simply communicate.”

Now available in PC stores nationwide, the Voyager Legend and the Marque 2 are priced at Php4,900 and Php3,600 respectively.
