Singapore, November 17, 2011 – Professionals on the go now have new tools to make work and life a little easier. With world-class sensor and noise cancellation technology, Plantronics’ Voyager® PRO HD is the first consumer headset that knows when you’re wearing it. Simply place it on your ear and Plantronics’ Smart Sensor™ technology automatically transfers calls to your headset. Combined with the ability to stream high-definition audio and superior comfort for an all day fit, Voyager PRO HD is the smartest headset on the market.

Adding unparalleled convenience for the mobile professional, Plantronics InstantMeeting™ app now connects you to conference calls from your iPhone®, in addition to BlackBerry® and Android™ phones, with just one touch. InstantMeeting scans your calendar, automatically inserts the dial in number and passcodes, and lets you notify participants if you are running late so you’ll never miss or be late to a conference call again. 

“Plantronics technology is about improving the communications experience and delivering instinctive products that simplify your everyday life,” said Elizabeth Hamren, vice president of Marketing, Plantronics. “The Voyager PRO HD and the latest release of InstantMeeting redefine mobile productivity so you can quickly and easily get connected and get on with your work and life.” 

Smart Sensor Technology
Making and receiving calls is simpler with Smart Sensor technology in the Voyager PRO HD. The headset knows when you are wearing it so it cleverly routes calls to the headset when it’s on your ear and to the handset when it’s not. Voyager PRO HD also has a locking call mechanism when it is not worn to eliminate accidental calling, and you can answer incoming calls simply by putting the headset on your ear – no buttons to press, applications to open or voice commands required. And if you are listening to music or other audio taking off the headset will automatically pause the stream. Voyager PRO HD also features enhanced voice alerts that announce remaining talk time, connection status, battery-level and mute.

Superior Sound Quality
Like its predecessors, Voyager PRO HD boasts award-winning sound quality, noise cancellation, and three layers of wind noise reduction technology to ensure that your voice is heard clearly regardless of the sort of environment you’re in. Plantronics HD audio plus Vocalyst is for more than just answering calls, you can listen to music, follow GPS directions, or check social media platforms and email.

The Plantronics Voyager PRO HD has an SRP of S$169, inclusive of GST, and will be launched during SITEX 2011, November 24 – 27, 2011, 11am – 9pm, Singapore Expo (1 Expo Drive, #01-01, Singapore 486150), Hall 6, Booth 6C60 (AAAs Com) and Booth 6E20 (Epicentre).
