Improved call quality
The latest market leading Plantronics headsets – unlike
consumer headsets that emphasise bass sounds – have a
frequency response curve that compensates by boosting
the ‘lost’ high-frequency signals to produce a clearer call.
Wideband Technology
Traditional telephones provide around 15% of the
information in human speech – wideband technology on
the latest Plantronics headsets captures 33%, so users
hear more detail, more clarity and more warmth on VoIP
calls.
Flexible Connectivity
Plantronics headsets support multiple types of telephony
connectivity ranging from corded headsets to cordless
headsets using Bluetooth or DECT technology allowing
the wearer freedom and exible movement.
Elimination of background noise
Noise cancelling microphones, placed close to the mouth
with a highly adjustable boom, now help to eliminate the
intrusive background noises that can affect home and
mobile workers.
Productivity
A recent study showed that headsets can increase
productivity in the ofce alone of up to 43% with
time intensive tasks such as note taking or checking
documents during telephone calls are simplied and
carried out faster.
Health and Safety
Plantronics SoundGuard and SoundGuard DIGITAL
technology ensures that workers are protected against
sudden spikes in noise and excessive day to day sound
exposure.
“Why Plantronics?
Today’s business environment is evolving to a new virtual and mobile workspace, enabling greater flexibility and easier
communication. As a result, companies are turning to unified communications (UC) platforms to optimise collaboration.
Because UC audio devices - including corded headsets, wireless headsets, speakerphones and so on - change the way
users perform business communication, it’s essential to ensure they meet your company objectives, goals, culture, and user
needs. Developing IT processes and best practises is key to selecting the right UC audio devices, minimising the impact on
infrastructure, and ensuring successful integration with your UC platform.
