Smart Sensors detect whether or not you are actually wearing the headset, the sensors are located in the ear loop and the speaker.  The Smart Sensor technology works the same way as the touch (capacitor) sensors in devices like the iPad / iPhone touch screens.  When the headset is brought close to the ear (like a finger near a touch screen), the sensor detects the conductive skin and the sensors communicate this change in state to the headset processor.  The Voyager Pro B230 has a special design so that handling the headset and putting it into your pocket or purse is less likely to cause a false detection.  Even customers that are only in the market for just a Bluetooth headset for their mobile cell phone and do not need it for their pc are buying this headset just because of the cool integrated smart sensor technology.  The smart sensor technology has really made the Voyager Pro B230 UC headset a popular and hot ticket item!
