Plantronics Introduces Nation’s First 1.9 GHz All-Wireless Headsets for Office Professionals
New Plantronics CS55 and CS55 Micro Headsets Provide Users with Superior Sound Quality Using Voice-Dedicated Standard
New York, NY and Santa Cruz, Calif. - July 20, 2005 – Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE:PLT) today expanded its award-winning family of wireless office products with the new CS55 and CS55™ Micro wireless headsets for the United States. Both products are the first all-wireless headsets in the US to use the new 1.9 GHz voice-dedicated frequency which provides users with strong sound quality for optimal voice and hearing clarity.
Using the new voice-dedicated 1.9 GHz DECT standard frequency, business professionals don’t have to worry about interference from nearby Wi-Fi networks, cordless telephones, and other wireless office equipment common on other frequencies. The result is a less crowded radio frequency that provides superior audio clarity with no interruptions.
“Businesses, whether small, medium or large, are rapidly adopting wireless headsets, which combine the hands-free benefits of headsets with the greater freedom and convenience of wireless,” said Chuck Yort, vice president of Office and Contact Center at Plantronics. “The arrival of new technologies like the 1.9 gigahertz frequency only makes the benefits of a wireless headset that much more compelling.”
The CS55 shares the sleek, self-contained design of the award-winning CS50 headset, including its extended boom with brilliant voice clarity and noise-canceling technology — perfect for busy office environments with background noise. The CS55 Micro is the ideal communication solution for today’s business executive, incorporating a more discreet look with a smaller boom and compact size that offers great sound in enclosed or private offices, while providing great wireless range and security.
CS55 and CS55 Micro users also benefit from:
- Freedom of mobility: Confer with colleagues, walk to the printer, grab a cup of coffee — move up to 300 feet from your desk — while still on a call.
- Staying connected: Don’t miss important calls when you need to be away from the desk. One-step remote answering and eight hours of battery talk time make it simple to stay connected.
- Best sound quality: Newly available 1.9GHz voice-dedicated technology provides uncompromised audio quality and lowest interference with other office wireless systems.
Pricing and Availability
Weighing only 26 and 24 grams respectively, the CS55 and CS55 Micro headsets come with three different ear loop sizes and an over-the-head band for customizable comfort and style.
The Plantronics CS55 and CS55 Micro are backed by a one-year warranty and have an MSRP of US $299. The CS55 and CS55 Micro will be available from U.S. distributors and retailers and on www.plantronics.com in October 2005.
Professionals can customize their CS55 and CS55 Micro units with the HL10 handset lifter for one-touch call answer/end, a behind-the-head neckband, which provides another style option for personal comfort, and a wall- or desk-mountable in-use indicator that lets others know the user is on a call.
