Plantronics Voyager Pro – Engineered for Sound Quality
April 23rd, 2009
Reflecting Plantronics’ nearly half a century of obsession with achieving headset perfection, the Voyager PRO represents the epitome of Bluetooth headset technology and design. No other headset has the combination of two noise-canceling mics on a boom to best capture your voice, three layers of WindSmart technology to outsmart the wind, and an adaptive 20-band equalizer tuned to maintain rich, balanced audio at comfortable listening volumes despite the noise around you.
Wherever you are calling from, your
voice sounds clear and natural.
voice sounds clear and natural.
The advanced AudioIQ² the advanced AudioIQ² noise-canceling technology in the Voyager PRO, with its finely tuned adaptive 20-band equalizer, makes you sound like you’re in the same room as your caller, not miles apart. To achieve this, AudioIQ² makes use of two microphones–one that’s focused on your speech and the other that picks out distracting background sounds, such as road hum and construction noise–then compares data from the two mics and eliminates the unwanted sounds, leaving your unique voice free to be heard clearly and naturally, as it was meant to be.
The dual microphones are also stacked with three layers of WindSmart technology–stainless steel mic screens, acoustic fabrics, and an electronic filter in the mic circuitry–that aggressively block intrusive wind noise. The adjustable boom, which allows you to wear the headset on either ear, positions the mics where they can best capture your voice, further enhancing the sound quality. So regardless of whether it’s the din of traffic or the whipping wind that you’re up against, the Voyager PRO will ensure that you and your caller will be heard clearly and sound natural.

Extremely Comfortable, Durable Design
The Plantronics engineers involved in the design of the Voyager PRO were arguably a bit obsessive. After all, in designing the Voyager PRO, they conducted no less than two dozen rounds of intensive human-comfort tests, a relentless study of skin sensitivity, and repeated drop-tests.
A soft, flexible design keeps the headset comfortable.
The result of this obsession is a soft and flexible, extremely comfortable headset that is durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of today’s mobile professional.
QuickPair and Multipoint Technologies: Easy to Set Up, Easy to Use
Thanks to Plantronics’ QuickPair technology, setting up the headset is quick and intuitive. The Voyager PRO supports Bluetooth 2.1 and EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) and Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), making it compatible with Bluetooth-enabled devices, including phones, PDAs, and laptop computers.
The headset also features Plantronics’ multipoint technology, which lets you pair and answer calls on two different Bluetooth devices. This means you can quickly and easily connect the headset to two phones, such as a Smartphone and a personal phone, or a phone and a Bluetooth-enabled device, such as a laptop that you use to make Internet calls. Just choose the combination that best complements your workflow and pair both devices with your headset.
Extended Talk Time
The Voyager PRO includes a fast-charging, long-lasting battery that provides up to six hours of continuous talk time and five days of standby time on a single charge. Convenient voice prompts even alert you to battery and mute status.
The Voyager PRO is backed by a one-year limited warranty and includes an A/C charger, three soft gel eartips, foam eartip covers, and a user’s guide.

The greatest thing since sliced bread ? You make the call…

The Savi wireless office systems are the next link in the evolutionary chain of Plantronics’ wireless headset systems. Years in the making, these beauties are about to make their debut. The Savi Office Systems will work with most single & multi-line phones, but it will also work on your computer with SKYPE or whatever other software you may have. And it’s all integrated into the base of the system, no extra devices needed ! How cool is that ? There are currently two models offered, the Savi WO100 and the Savi WO200. The WO100 is the convertible model which gives you the option to wear it over the head or over the ear, you just snap on whichever attachment you’d like. The WO100 headset looks just like the Calisto Pro headset, except it offers the convertible option. The Savi WO200 is the over the ear model which loops over your ear and has an earbud that goes in the ear, which resembles the CS70N headset.
And can you say “Holy distance Batman” ! The Savi Office systems have an extended range of up to 350ft, while still using the same rock solid 64 bit encrypted DECT 6.0 technology to keep your calls secure. You can also easily pair up to four of the Savi headsets to one base unit for conference calls, you can even conference between your landline phone and your softphone. As more and more individuals as well as companies are starting to venture out and use programs like SKYPE and other Unified Communications software to be totally connected, and to simply save money every month on their long distance charges, these types of systems are quickly becoming a much needed valuable tool for us to get the job done. The Savi systems are compatible with the standard HL10 Handset Lifters for remote one-touch answering and can also be used with specific EHS’s (Electronic Hook Switches) for certain phones. The cutting edge Savi systems are just packed full of so many features, you really have to check them out to see what they can do. We are always looking for “tools” to help us be more productive and more efficient in the office, and if it can make my workload easier… hey, I’ll take that too. So any way you slice it, that ain’t bad. Welcome to the wireless evolution !
