Amazon.com Product Description
 Recipient of 2010 iF Product Design Award
The Plantronics Voyager Pro is a recipient of the 2010 iF Product Design Award for excellence in design quality, workmanship, choice of materials, degree of innovation, environmental friendliness, functionality, ergonomics, visualization of use, safety, brand value, branding and universal design. The award remains valid for the entire product lifecycle.
Featuring the next-generation AudioIQ² digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the Plantronics Voyager Pro delivers superior noise and wind cancellation as well as rich, natural inbound audio so you can hear and be heard clearly in virtually any noisy environment--from windy sidewalks to hectic airports. This comfortable, behind-the-ear headset features two noise-canceling mics on a boom, AudioIQ² technology with its adaptive 20-band equalizer, and three layers of WindSmart technology. The pivoting mic boom lets you wear the headset on either ear and optimize the position of the two microphones. An automatic voice prompt alerts you to battery and mute status. It provides up to six hours of continuous talk time and five days of standby from single charge. AudioIQ² and WindSmart Technologies
While other headsets deliver noise cancellation at the expense of overall audio quality, Voyager Pro's AudioIQ² technology and unique adjustable dual-microphone boom provide the advantage of capturing your voice close to your mouth so the AudioIQ² technology can more effectively remove ambient noise, while still maintaining the natural sound of your voice. With its finely tuned adaptive 20-band equalizer, AudioIQ² makes you sound like you're in the same room as your caller, not miles apart. To achieve this, AudioIQ² makes use of two microphones--one that's focused on your speech and the other that picks out distracting background sounds, such as road hum and construction noise. It then compares the data from the two mics and eliminates the unwanted sounds, leaving your unique voice free to be heard clearly and naturally, as it was meant to be. The dual microphones are also stacked with three layers of WindSmart technology. Stainless steel mic screens, acoustic fabrics, and an electronic filter in the mic circuitry--all aggressively block intrusive wind noise. The adjustable boom, which allows you to wear the headset on either ear, positions the mics where they can best capture your voice, further enhancing the sound quality.

The Voyager Pro features a soft silicone ear tip that's ideal for acoustics and an ergonomic fit; a durable, flexible rubber that's suitable for continuous skin contact; and even weight distribution across multiple touch points to help avoid fatigue. |  | Engineered for Comfort and Your Mobile Lifestyle
The Plantronics Voyager Pro endured 24 rounds of human factors testing to perfect the design for all-day wearing, comfort, and stability. The behind-the-ear wearing style is perfectly counterbalanced so weight is distributed evenly, rendering it virtually weightless when worn. The Voyager Pro ear tip is made of soft silicone for an optimal fit and features a "sound channel" that helps distribute audio evenly to the ear. Designed with the mobile professional-user in mind, it includes easily accessible power, volume and mute buttons and features voice prompts for low battery warnings and mute status. Finally, the lithium polymer battery provides up to six hours of continuous talk time and five days of stand-by time, exceeding the talk and standby times of most mobile phones. Specifications

 Excellent product, would recommend it. July 30, 2010

This product is excellent and i would recommend it to anyone. It was very easy to operate with clear instructions. When I have it in my ear I tend to forget it's there till I receive a call. Use you it on both of my cell phones at the same time, it's great.
I really like this July 29, 2010

This is a great headset. I have it paired with my Blackberry. It was easy to setup, simple to use, has great call quality for myself and my callers. It is comfortable to wear, and after a while I just forget I have it on, until I get a call.
I like it, but....... July 24, 2010

I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset, and was very surprised that within 2 1/2 weeks of minimal use, it failed. I will say that Plantronics customer service was OUTSTANDING. Upon providing them proof of purchase - they sent me a replacement unit and instructions to return the failed unit. My spouse has used this product for well over a year - with no problems - and both of us would definately buy Plantronics products again.

Stomps Aliph Jawbone Icon in head-to-head voice transmission test! July 22, 2010

I DID IT!
The AT&T store hates me, but you can benefit from my exhaustive (and expensive) research!
I have an iPhone 4 and I've been looking for a good bluetooth headset. I'm most concerned about sound quality. I want the person on the other phone to have no idea that I'm even using a bluetooth headset. I also want to be able to hear them just as well as I can with my iPhone.
So I went to the AT&T store and asked to demo a few bluetooth headsets to see which one sounded the best. I was rudely told that I couldn't try any of them, but I could buy whatever I liked and there was a 30 day refund policy with no restocking fee.
So I grabbed my credit card and purchased:
~Aliph Jawbone Icon (obvious first choice)
~Jabra Stone
~Sound ID 510
~BlueAnt Q1
~Plantronics Voyager Pro
Yup, I really did!
Note that I already owned a Motorola H17 and compared that as well.
Then I got together with a friend with another iPhone 4, and we both took turns listening with and talking with each headset while the other person listened and talked with the iPhone (no headset).
We also tried introducing background noise, mostly just a fan and a TV, nothing extreme (like a jet engine or a wind tunnel or anything).
Aren't you just dying to know what I came up with?
When it came to listening quality, or how the headsets sounded when I listened to someone else talking into an iPhone 4 without a headset, the Aliph Jawbone Icon and the Plantronics Voyager Pro definitely tied for first place, leaving everything else seriously in the dust. I make special note of how disgustingly poor the sound from the Sound ID 510 was despite its gimmicky little iPhone app which did allow you to change the sound but in all cases it was various flavors of awful and bad compared to the Icon and the Pro.
But what was even more dramatic was the way the voice quality was transmitted through these headphones (in other words, what I sounded like to the other person when I spoke through them).
THE PLANTRONICS VOYAGER PRO ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED EVERYTHING ELSE, ESPECIALLY THE ALIPH JAWBONE ICON!
Now I'm definitely not a Plantronics fanboy at all, in fact I think the Voyager Pro is funny looking and kind of large and dorky. But when speaking through it, I sound just the same as I do speaking through the iPhone 4 without a bluetooth headset, and it definitely transmits the best audio, really the only one that was comparable in quality to not using a bluetooth headset. And the listening audio quality was similarly just as good as no headset (admittedly listening quality was good on the Aliph Jawbone Icon as well).
Voice transmission quality of the Jabra Stone was really pretty terrible. The BlueAnt was just so-so both talking and listening. Listening quality on the Sound ID was rock bottom.
I thought the Jawbone Icon won points for style, but you know it's not very pocket friendly, and actually when I put it in my pocket those sharp two corners on the front poked the wang out of my thigh over and over; believe it or not the Plantronics Voyager Pro, which looks large and bulky when deployed, folds up very flat that it is much more pocket friendly than the Icon, and equally pocket friendly to everything else on the list.
Also I had to do AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF EAR GEL ADJUSTMENTS to get the Icon to feel like it wasn't about to fall out of my ear, and it was uncomfortable after a while; the Plantronics Voyager Pro felt very stable and painless right out of the box with no adjustments.
I will say that if you wear really large frame glasses the Plantronics Voyager Pro might get in the way of your glasses earpiece (I'm just guessing, although I have worn sunglasses with the Voyager Pro with no problems).
So there you have it, if you primary concern is sound quality (and it should be), both sending and receiving, Plantronics Voyager Pro for the win!!!
....and I had to box up all the other ones and brave the wrath of the AT&T employees when I returned them all!
I hope that others benefit from my crazy experiment!
*** you know, I never did try the Plantronics Discovery 975 and some day I'll have to grab one of those; I didn't buy it because my friend said the the rigid ear plasticky thing was supremely uncomfortable, but I can't attest to that firsthand, nor do I know how it sounds.
