Plantronics Voyager PRO gets purchased, unboxed early

by Darren Murph posted Apr 20th 2009 at 1:52PM

Plantronics isn't planning to share intimate details about its Voyager PRO Bluetooth headset until April 23rd, but evidently its supply chain executives didn't exactly touch base with marketing before sending out stock to Best Buy. Jeff and John both managed to procure the $119.99 Bluetooth headset over the weekend, and we've got the shots to prove it. Based on the teaser site down in the read link, this here headset should be it's most advanced yet, but for a buck twenty, it better answer and respond to our calls without us having to intervene.

Update: Plantronics pinged us to say the price point here should be $99. Interesting.

[Thanks, Jeff and John]

This one looks like a sexier version of the the old Voyager 510 which I own and Love. Best earpiece I've ever owned. When it dies, I'll may just buy this one based solely on the strength of the older product.

I've always liked the 510 but looking at this new version, I'm excited to see an updated microphone design. The 510 WindSmart technology worked great but was average on style. http://www.allaboutheadsets.com/

Does anyone know if this replacement to the 510 will also work with a bluetooth transmitter plugged into the USB port of my laptop.
The original Voyager 510 USB did and that's how I use mine most of the time. It finally died and I've been waiting for it's replacement
to be released but no one can tell me for sure if it'll work on the laptop also with the appropriate transmitter. If so what will the
appropriate transmitter be?

Is there a way to shut the headset down by rotating the boom in some way. That would be a big plus to me. Having to hold buttons and listen for a tone for a period of time are just inconvenient. Thoughts?
