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: I work in two different locations, is it possible to pair the Voyager 510 headset to two different 500A bases or devices?

Solution: Yes, although the headset can only be connected and switch back and forth between two devices at a time, the Voyager 510 headset can be paired with up to 4 different devices.  This is in general for most Bluetooth headsets with Multi-point technology.  You can also use different Bluetooth headsets other than the Voyager 510 with the 500A base, however, the 500A base will only charge the 510 headset (any other headsets would need to use their own charger).
