Plantronics (
News -
Alert) has introduced the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth
earpiece collection, a signature line of designer headsets for both men and women.
Central to its performance is the unique, VFrame design structured to follow the contours of the face and draw the microphone closer to the mouth for a headset that is as much objet d'art as it is audio ingenuity.
Plantronics' AudioIQ noise reduction technology adds to the Discovery 925's performance by removing background noise while simultaneously adjusting the incoming volume -- ensuring crystal clear sound on both sides of the conversation.
"When designing a Bluetooth headset, it is critical to fully understand the physical and emotional relationship between the product and the end user," Darrin Caddes, vice president of Industrial Design at Plantronics said.
"Similar to high performance watches or automobiles, our Bluetooth headset is designed to deliver a first-class experience -- in this case to permit clear, wireless conversation without the distraction of background noise. It is equally imperative that the product expresses individual taste and style and is comfortable and easy to use."
The Discovery 925 earpiece supports up to five hours of talk time, while the charging case provides an extra five-hour charge on the go.
"From the onset, our vision for the Discovery 925 was to deliver remarkable audio clarity from within a supremely comfortable and distinctive package," said Renee Niemi, general manager and vice president, Mobile and Entertainment at Plantronics.
"Plantronics leveraged the talents of its Industrial Design team to create the Discovery 925 as a true 'tech-cessory,' and bridge the gap between high-grade audio performance and high-fashion -- a gap that has previously eluded most headset designs."
