When it comes to the world of Bluetooth headsets, one of the most trusted names in the industry is Plantronics. And now you can get one of their better Bluetooth headsets for quite the impressive price.

You see, the Plantronics Voyager Pro HD normally retails for $99.99, but that price has been slashed by $40 down to just $59.99. In signature Plantronics style, the Voyager Pro HD has a slightly longer boom microphone than what you may find on some competing devices. This means that the clarity of your voice should be improved, as the mic is closer to your mouth. The headset also boasts “brilliant, HD streaming audio.”

Since the headset is going to be on the side of your head, you might not notice that it’s running out of battery. The cool thing is that Plantronics has an app for iOS and Android that lets you remotely monitor the battery on your headset. Speaking of battery, you should get up to 6 hours of talk time and up to 120 hours of standby. It’s also nice how it can “sense” when you’re wearing it.

Pick up the Plantronics Voyager Pro HD Bluetooth headset on Amazon.com for $59.99, including free super saver shipping.

Who said all Bluetooth headsets had to look the same? The Plantronics Discovery 975 is one of the more unique headsets I’ve seen and it just so happens to be on sale for 58% off the regular price.

Really, it’s the design of the Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset that will catch your attention first. There is this square portion attached to the ear gel for a comfortable fit, and then you have an extended boom microphone to better pick up your voice when you’re on a call. But there’s more tech in there that you don’t really see too.

For example, this comes with dual-mic AudioIQ2 technology that is designed to cancel background noise and provide for superior clarity. There’s also a handy carrying case with an LCD display that doubles as a charging station, allowing you to triple your talk time when you’re on the go. QuickPair technology makes pairing easier too, plus the multipoint technology means you can pair it with more than one Bluetooth device at the same time.

I say it’s pretty slick and at just $54.98 on Amazon with free shipping (that’s $75.01 off the regular price of $129.99), the Plantronics Discovery 975 is a pretty good deal too.

Bluetooth headsets are pretty useful, especially if you’re in one of those places where handheld cell phones are illegal while driving. That said, it can be pretty annoying when your call gets routed to the headset when said headset is on your desk rather than on your ear. The new Plantronics Voyager Pro UC fixes that.

You see, this otherwise run-of-the-mill Bluetooth headset is a little smarter than that, thanks to the inclusion of capacitive sensors. These detect whether the headset is actually attached to the side of your head.

Assuming you’re already paired with your phone, the call will then go through to the headset if it detects you’re wearing it. If it detects that you’re not wearing it, the call will go through on your actual cell phone as per normal instead. Even if you put the headset on in the middle of a call, it will reroute the audio that way too. Pretty nifty.

That’s assuming that it works as advertised. Plantronics hasn’t announced pricing yet, but they’ll probably have that information at CES in January.
