Fommy Product Review:

The Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth headset has met the high expectations that everyone had set forth for it since it is the follow up model to the extremely popular Plantronics Voyager 510. CNET even gave it an Editor's Choice Award earlier this year. 

Apparently Plantronics' engineers are obsessed with acoustics and really worked hard to ensure that the quality of sound is as good as if you are speaking to a person in the same room and not just on a headset. And I think that they have achieved that effect. Great sound, great quality product and extremely reliable is how I would sum up this headset.

Plus additional features like the ability to pair up to 2 devices with just one headset; voice prompts for low battery and mute status; and three layers of protection from wind noise who could want anything more? This headset competes on the same level as the likes of Motorola H790 but if I had to bet my money, I would go with Plantronics. After all, didn't Neil Armstrong use a Plantronics headset to communicate when he first landed on the moon? The company knows headset technology and with the new Plantronics Voyager PRO they have certainly delivered another great headset.
