Problem: I am a truck driver and I need a new cell phone headset that can block out the wind and road noise.  I love my old 510 Bluetooth, but I understand it has been discontinued.  What do you suggest?

Solution: You are absolutely correct; Plantronics decided to take the 510 off the market. It was a great little headset, but they came out with some newer headsets with more advanced technology and they took a few of the older units off the market.

Since the 510 is an over the ear unit, rather than just an in the ear style, take a look at the new VOYAGER PRO. The VOYAGER PRO is very similar in design to the 510; it has an ear piece that is made of a soft, flexible, rubber-like material, which conforms comfortably to most people’s ears, but it is lighter and has a more modern style.  Also like the 510, it offers WindSmart technology with acoustic fabrics and electronic filters to block intrusive wind noise.  The Voyager Pro headset actually has two noise-canceling  mics in the boom, plus an adaptive 20-band equalizer which is tuned to maintain balanced audio for comfortable listening volumes.

Another new headset you may be interested in is the classy, light weight, in the ear Discovery 975.   This innovative, stylish unit has the WindSmart technology of the 510 plus the dual mic technology of the VoyagerPro; but that’s not all! It includes a sleek, rechargeable case providing triple talk & standby time.  On the outside of the case is a convenient display that shows your connection status and battery levels, to let you know if you are running low on your charge or talk time.

Problem: When I am out walking or jogging I love to listen to music, so I want a headset with great stereo sound, but I also want to be able to take calls on my cell phone.  What do you suggest?

Solution: Plantronics just came out with a headset that meets all your criteria – - -and then some!  The  Plantronics BackBeat wireless headset offers Altec Lansing sound technology for rich, full spectrum, stereo music.  It also has a bass-boost feature so you can enjoy the full dynamic range of your music.  There are actually two BackBeat models available.  The BackBeat 903 is compatible with the latest iPhone, iPod Touch, MP3 players, and cell phones, which support stereo Bluetooth.  The BackBeat 906 includes an adapter to stream music from iPods, MP3 players, portable CD players, computers and laptops that are not equipped with the Bluetooth A2DP stereo profile.

With the Plantronics BackBeat wireless headset, you can wirelessly stream and control music as you walk, run, work or play, and that’s not all! You will also experience exceptional call clarity, plus an improved ability to focus on your conversations, since you will be listening with both ears.  In addition, Dual-mic AudioIQ noise canceling technology will separate your voice from any background noise for your callers.

Alright; so far we have covered the quality and convenience of this unique headset.  Now let’s talk about BACKBEAT STYLE ! It has an awesome, flexible, neck band that goes behind your head. The dual stereo headsets fit discreetly behind both ears, so you will look sharp “doing any activity you are involved in”.  Concerned about comfort? Don’t be; BackBeat offers a three-way adjustment to provide a comfortable fit for almost anyone. If a friend approaches, the OpenMic button brings the outside world in, allowing conversations with those around you.  Plus, this dynamic unit provides up to 7 hours of listening pleasure or talk time from each charge.  When you are finished with your headset, just fold it up and tuck it away for the next time.
