Plantronics’ Voyager 5200 Bluetooth headset, designed for professionals who are on-the-go, is now available in the Australian market.The Voyager 5200 features Plantronics’ WindSmart technology, ensuring “extraordinary wind and noise reduction”.
“Plantronics’ exclusive WindSmart technology provides industry-leading wind and noise reduction by incorporating six layers of technology to combat the entire noise ecosystem,” Plantronics states.
“The aerodynamic boom on the Voyager 5200 lets wind slide past without creating turbulence. The boom’s windscreen acts as the first layer of protection for the mics, and then each mic is further sheltered in a ‘wind box’. Four omni-directional mics and a proprietary wind-cancelling algorithm keeps the mics focused on the wearer’s voice and removes disruptive noise.”
The Voyager 5200 has been designed for stability and comfort on a wide range of ear shapes and sizes, with Plantronics stating that it will fit 90 per cent of people, and delivers up to seven hours of talk time on a single charge, with up to nine days in standby mode.
A multi-purpose charging case is sold separately, serving as a grab-and-go dock for recharging and a
