Wireless communication with the new Plantronics CS60

Swindon, UK. - Plantronics, the world leader in communications headsets, today launched the CS60 – its first truly wireless headset for office workers.

There are up to 70% of business calls being missed in a typical working day resulting in time consuming “telephone tag”. With the CS60 you need never miss a call again as you are free to walk around the office whilst still taking and making phone calls using your office phone system. Using DECTÔ technology, which guarantees excellent sound quality – you can even make and receive calls up to 100m away from desk, or even on a different floor of your building!

The CS60 is supplied with a convertible headset and can be worn in three ways, over-the-head, over-the-ear or Plantronics’ unique behind-the-head style depending on your personal choice. Stylish and discreet, at less than 28 grams, and with a nine hours talktime, you can wear it for the whole of your working day.

The CS60 connects quickly and easily to your office phone, and comes complete with its own charger, which also acts as a handy storage unit for the headset when it’s not in use. The CS60 also features Plantronics’ unique Intellistand™ technology, which lets you answer and end a call simply by picking up and returning the headset to the base, just as you would a telephone handset.

And, to alleviate the problem of colleagues continually interrupting your call when they fail to realise you’re on the phone, an online indicator lights up to show you’re using the headset.

Neil Salton, Plantronics EMEA Marketing Manager, comments: “Totally wireless, extremely easy to use and very stylish, the CS60 will become an essential office accessory. Connecting to your existing office phone systems, the CS60 offers all the benefits of a mobile phone enabling office workers to walk to the photocopier, retrieve important files or even make a coffee while still speaking on the phone.”
