The M220 mobile headset provides you with the freedom to communicate anytime, anywhere
Incorporating noise-cancelling technology and a one-touch call answer/end button, the M220 brings hands-free communication at an affordable button
Swindon, UK. - HANOVER, GERMANY – CeBIT – March 18 2004 – Plantronics, the world’s leading manufacturer of lightweight communications headsets, today announced the launch of the stylish M220 mobile headset. With a soft, flexible ear-loop that can be worn on either ear, the M220 has been designed with a boom that incorporates noise-cancelling technology to enhance the clarity of calls made.
Built to cope with the rigours of everyday life, the robust M220 includes a number of features that cater for the demands of today’s customers. A one-touch answer/end call facility enables users to answer or end a call by touching a button that’s intuitively positioned on the headset. The inclusion of noise-cancelling technology removes background noise ensuring your voice is transmitted with greater ease and clarity.
In addition, the M220 enables users to activate the voice dialling facility available on many of today’s mobile phones. This is especially relevant in the wake of recent driving legislation, introduced by the UK Government, which requires mobile phone users to wear a headset or use a hands-free car kit when making or receiving calls when driving. The voice dialling facility works by simply pressing the answer/end call button, positioned intuitively on the headset, and saying the name of the person they wish to call. The call can be ended by pressing the same button again - it couldn’t be easier or safer!
“The M220 is a stylish and sleek headset with an excellent build quality. It incorporates some excellent features, such as a noise cancelling microphone, that will appeal to a wide market”, said Gavin Sear, EMEA mobile product manager, Plantronics. He continued, “We’re finding our customers are increasingly looking for products that give them the flexibility and freedom to make the most of today’s technology. We believe the M220 caters for this demand and, at such an enticing price, we expect it to become a favourite with mobile users”.
The M220 series is available now and priced £14.99 (incl. VAT). The headset is compatible with most mobile phones from Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Siemens, Samsung and Motorola.
