You get in your car on a cold snowy morning, turn the key to start the engine and…the battery is dead!  You’re at your daughter’s wedding reach for the camera to take those special pictures and…the battery is dead!  You grab your headset to answer the phone and close that big million dollar deal when…the battery is dead!  No doubt your response to all three scenarios is the same…why now!?! (Sorry, but we can’t print what you really want to say).

Yes, a healthy fully-charged and long-lasting battery is essential in so many situations.  At Plantronics that need has not fallen on deaf ears.  Ever since they entered the field of wireless communication, Plantronics has strived to provide a battery to meet the demands of the busy professional on the go.  Their first attempts were fairly large and cumbersome external batteries (oh, how they would always catch on things and fall off at that critical juncture in a conversation) but they were not deterred.  As technology advanced so did Plantronics’ efforts to come up with a compact unobtrusive battery that would provide the maximum talk time customers needed for their headsets.  What they came up with was the 64399-01 lithium-ion battery, a battery for all reasons when it comes to Plantronics wireless headsets.  Easy to disconnect and connect, the 64399-01 battery, along with the Plantronics’ low-battery early warning system, won’t leave you silent in the middle of that important call.

Question:  Is the 03929-63 Headsets Direct’s Training Adapter just for wireless headsets?  I have an older S10 amplifier and some headsets, and would like to use them for training.

Answer:  In a word, no, it has multiple applications (okay five words).  A Headsets Direct original product, the 03929-63 Training Adapter began as an answer to our customers’ complaints of why isn’t there an effective way for two people on wireless headsets to train together.  They were constantly whining: “Why doesn’t Plantronics have an adapter for training wirelessly?”  We didn’t have an answer so our design engineers got together and worked tirelessly in the lab until the 03929-63 Training Adapter was born.  In the words of another famous engineer (albeit a little on the mad side): “IT’S ALIIIVE!”  Well, that’s how it came to be, and after the euphoric melodrama had subsided, it proved to be very effective for its intended purpose of uniting two wireless headsets for training.  Now, with proper training and more mobility, workers could multi-task more efficiently and businesses could squeeze the most out of their smaller, already stretched staff.

Then our engineers put their brains together again and thought: “Hmm, can we use this baby in other applications?”  So, they returned to the lab to test other systems and see how they could expand the versatility and usefulness of their new little creation.  And wouldn’t you know it, that little sucker has turned out to be more than a one-hit wonder, shazam!  While with some Plantronics amplifiers it’s better to use the 27019-03 PLX Y-Training Cord (e.g. M22 and two HW251), the 03929-63 Training Adapter can unite many more diverse devices in communication harmony.  It’s so universal you can use it to unite Plantronics wireless (CS540) with corded models (M22); it can bring together two headsets behind one amplifier (like your S10); you can use it with an amplifier, corded or wireless, and the telephone handset; you can use it with Plantronics and GN (or any other brand) as long as they’re nice to each other, and it even works for you tightwads who hang on to ancient headsets and amplifiers like the PLX400 (hey, they’re still workin’ dude).  Harmony!  Might this really be “the dawning of the age of Aquarius?”

Give the sales team at Headsets Direct a call (800-914-7996) and see what else the 03929-63 Headset Direct’s Headset Training Adapter can do for you.  Remember, harmony is a good thing.

Were you sad to see the .Audio 480 USB headset go away?

Those of us who travel and like to stay connected through our laptops were sad when they discontinued the .Audio 480 USB.  The sleek styling and good stereo sound were hard to beat.  Shucks, it worked really well on our regular PC’s at home too.  So you can imagine how excited we were when we heard that Plantronics was coming out with the new Blackwire C435, their latest quality computer headset in the Blackwire 400 series.

Here are some of the features that we liked about the new Blackwire C435 after having had the opportunity to test it out:

1)      It has a unique modular design that provides a choice of mono/stereo audio options and wearing styles by simply slipping the auxiliary earpiece from the module.

2)      It’s durable, portable design makes it easy to tuck into the travel case and is ideal for professionals on the go.

3)      The headset can be worn over the ear or behind the head depending on user preference (neckband sold separately).

4)      The answer/end/mute controls simplify call management while the inline indicator lights show call or mute status.

5)      A noise-canceling microphone reduces background noise, ensuring excellent audio quality and easing listening-fatigue.

6)      Wideband audio delivers increased speech clarity, providing the best possible PC audio quality.
The dynamic EQ feature optimizes voice quality when on calls and automatically adjusts the EQ settings when listening to music or when high-quality sound is required for multimedia playback.

So, give the folks at Headsets Direct a call (800-914-7996) to learn more about the new Blackwire C435 computer headset from Plantronics.
