Mon, February 9, 2009 Plantronics, Inc.: Plantronics Adds New Colors to Acclaimed Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece Collection
SANTA CRUZ, CA--(Marketwire - February 9, 2009) - Plantronics, Inc. (
Since its introduction last year, the Plantronics Discovery 925 earpiece has received high praise from media, celebrities and consumers, and it received Consumer Reports' coveted "Top 100 Products of 2008" designation. In January, the Discovery 925 won best overall headset in the "Voice of the Consumer" report conducted by 7B Labs.* The independent report evaluated hundreds of consumer reviews for several "high-end" Bluetooth headsets and the Discovery 925 won after being rated the highest in six of nine product categories, including incoming/outgoing sound, comfort/fit and simplicity.
Plantronics' new Royal Blush and Majestic Purple Discovery 925 earpieces boast the same exceptional incoming and outgoing audio sound quality as the original version. Each earpiece features the lightweight VFrame™ design for enhanced audio performance and connection range, and AudioIQ® call clarity technology. The Plantronics Discovery 925 earpiece also includes a charging case which provides extra battery life, earpiece storage and protection.
"Our vision for the Discovery 925 earpiece was to deliver high-quality audio in a unique, fashion-inspired design," said Renee Niemi, vice president and general manager, Mobile and Entertainment at Plantronics, Inc. "Like in the fashion industry, when a new season arrives so does a fresh palette of colors. Our new limited-edition colors reflect what's 'hot' for both men and women this season, providing a complementary accessory that ensures they'll look and sound great."
