Plantronics Launches Their First Earbud Headset with a Boom

Swindon, UK. - Following the unprecedented success of the MX100 range, Plantronics, the world leader in telecommunications headsets, has today announced the launch of the MX150 – a unique in-the-ear boom headset.

Responding to consumer demand, the new MX150 is the only in-the-ear mobile phone headset to combine the discreetness and stability of the MX100 with a Plantronics’ flexible, pivoting, noise-cancelling boom to offer superior sound quality.

Utilising the ergonomic design of the MX100, the MX150 is aimed at existing users who desire discreet in-the-ear design without compromising on style or sound quality.

With its unique FlexGrip™ (flexible tail grip) design to ensure maximum comfort and secure fit, the MX150 features a discreet and flexible noise-cancelling boom, allowing the optimal placement of the microphone for every user.

There are eight versions of the headset available depending on user handset compatibility, suitable for SonyEricsson, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Siemens mobile phones. Prices start at £17.99 (ex VAT) for the MX150.

“Following the success of the MX100 earbud design we have responded to the demand from users for a headset that incorporates the comfort and stability of the MX100 featuring a discreet, short boom microphone,” said Gavin Sear, EMEA product manager for Plantronics’ mobile and computer products, “The MX150 has been designed for consumers who want it all; comfort, discreetness, quality and style – the MX150 certainly fits the bill.”
