Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in audio and wearable technology, recently announced the Voyager 5200 UC headset system has been named a CES 2017 Innovation Awards Honouree in the Headphones Category.
For the ninth consecutive year, CES, of the Consumer Technology Association, has recognised Plantronics as a leader in technology innovation. Products entered into this prestigious programme are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media to honour outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer electronics products across 28 product categories.
Voyager 5200 UC features WindSmart technology, an exclusive Plantronics innovation that incorporates six layers of technology to detect noise caused by wind, and responds accordingly. Plantronics WindSmart technology combats a range of background noises, from weather to traffic and surrounding conversations, so calls come through clearly and without disruption.
With up to seven hours of talk time on a single charge, HD voice support over wideband networks, innovative enhancements to speech quality, and a design that blends style with careful attention to all-day comfort, Voyager 5200 UC delivers the premium performance and ease of use that are hallmarks of the Voyager family of professional communication headsets.
"As businesses continue to embrace mobile collaboration, workers across every industry and job description are looking for new mobile solutions to explore what's possible when 'being in the office' doesn't mean being tied to a desk," said Tamara Lane, Director of Global Product Marketing. "Tools such as Voyager 5200 UC give people the power to engage with work on their terms."
Plantronics Voyager 5200 UC was recently displayed within the Innovation Awards Showcase, at Tech West at CES 2017, which occurred from 5-8 January 2017, in Las Vegas.
