Plantronics launches Bluetooth Stereo headset Pulsar 590
Plantronics, Inc. is introducing the Pulsar 590, a Bluetooth stereo headset that lets users listen wirelessly to music and movies and switch seamlessly to mobile phone calls with the touch of a button.
Available with a universal Bluetooth audio adapter, the Pulsar 590 provides immediate wireless compatibility for any device with a headphone jack, such as laptops, home stereos, MP3 players, including Apple iPods, and multimedia devices, such as Sony PSP.
The Pulsar 590 uses multipoint technology to function as both a stereo headset for high fidelity listening, as well as a communications headset for use with mobile phones and other voice-enabled devices. The headset includes a telescopic voice tube with an omni-directional microphone for clear voice communications.
With 10m (33 feet) range, it enables users to listen to music or have conversations away from their laptop, music device or mobile phone. The Pulsar 590 provides up to 12 hours of talk time and 10 hours of listen time.
The device has a familiar headband wearing style with pivoting ear cushions that provide all-day wearing comfort. The portable, lightweight headset features a foldable design for compact charging and travel storage and ships with a full range of accessories, including a desktop charging stand, AC charger, USB charging cable, in-flight cable and travel case. The in-flight cable allows the headset to be used with the Bluetooth radio disabled, a requirement for most airline travel.
The headset can be purchased with the universal Bluetooth adapter for devices that don't have Bluetooth stereo capabilities.
Computers, media and mobile phone devices compatible with the new Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, or A2DP, don't require the universal adapter to experience stereo sound.
The Pulsar 590 has an estimated retail price of US$149.99 and US$199.99 with universal adapter. The headset will be available this fall (USA) at retail stores, wireless carrier stores and on-line.
