Plantronics Voyager Pro HD

Plantronics Voyager Pro HD

Plantronics has a good thing going with its Voyager Pro line of Bluetooth Headsets. We've praised the original version, the improved Voyager Pro+, which added A2DP streaming and the company's Vocalyst voice-to-text service, and the Voyager Pro UC, which added a proximity sensor. The latest model, the Voyager Pro HD, brings all of this together, but at the original Voyager Pro's price of just $99. It's a stellar value and sounds great on voice calls. Design, Features, and Call QualityThe headset itself is still large, although Plantronics has been subtly refining the design over the years. This is purely an over-the-ear headset. The latest version is slightly shorter and stubbier, although the boom mic is about as long as before. Plantronics packs two extra ear tips in the box, along with two felt covers you can use if you want, either way, you're bound to find one that's comfortable. The long boom positions the mic much closer to your mouth than with smaller headsets, which improves sound quality. During testing, I found the Pro HD supremely comfortable to wear all day. Pairing the Pro HD with another phone is simple: You hold the power button for several seconds, until it starts flashing in an alternating red and blue pattern.
