Designed for Multimedia, Music and Internet Telephony Use
Hanover, CEBIT March 15th – Plantronics, today introduce two new wireless headsets for PC use, the .Audio 990 and the .Audio 910 USB. Both feature Bluetooth technology and extend the renowned Plantronics wireless portfolio into the PC sector. Perfect for Internet Telephony, Multimedia and Music enjoyment on PC’s and laptops, both headsets are designed to enhance the digital lifestyles of the users.
Plantronics .Audio 990 Bluetooth® Stereo Headset
The .Audio 990 enables users to listen wirelessly to music and multimedia content, on their PC, while staying connected to another Bluetooth device, such as a mobile phone. Designed for users who like to be immersed in their music or movies but still need to be connected to their calls. The .Audio 990 alerts the user to incoming calls with a beep and can be answered with the single touch of a button, pausing the music or movie. Available with a universal Bluetooth audio adapter, the .Audio 990 provides immediate wireless connectivity for any device with a 3.5mm headphone port, such as an iPod, laptop, home stereo system, TV, an MP3 player and multimedia devices such as the Sony® PSP.
The Plantronics .Audio 990 has a manufacturer suggested retail price of €149.99/ £99.99 (including VAT) and is now available through Plantronics’ authorized retailers and dealerships.
Plantronics .Audio 910 USB
The .Audio 910 USB is the first PC headset which can interact with and control popular internet telephony applications wirelessly from the headset, releasing the user from their PC. This is made possible by a truly unique USB Bluetooth voice adaptor and software, which together offer breakthrough usability. With no Bluetooth drivers to install, the setup is truly Plug and Play, to start enjoying wireless conversations through the PC straight away.
The Bluetooth headset itself combines all day wearing comfort, superb audio quality from its noise cancelling microphone and the latest lithium battery technology which powers up to 6 hours talk time and 100 hours on stand-by.
Additionally the .Audio 910 USB features Plantronics Multipoint technology- this means that the headset can maintain not only a live connection with the PC, but also a second connection with another Bluetooth device, such as a mobile phone – so even when you are involved in a VOIP conversation on the PC, you can take an incoming phone call from your mobile with the press of a single button on the headset.
“We are now making award winning, best of breed wireless headsets for everyone”, said Philip Vanhoutte, EMEA Managing Director at Plantronics “Both the .Audio 990 and the .Audio 910 offer new levels of sound performance, greater functionality, wireless freedom and great style”
