Plantronics Voyager Pro UC Is a Headset That Knows Once you’re Using It [Headsets]

When you’re a headset devotee, you’ll know that they don’t always stay put to your ear. The Plantronics Voyager Pro UC packs capacitive sensors so it knows once you’re wearing it-and when to direct calls to itself.

Think of the Voyager Pro UC, so that you can get its full announcement at CES in January, as a sensible Bluetooth headset . Due to capacitive sensors, it knows after you’re wearing it-if it happens to be buried to your bag across the room, calls will just go on your handset as usual. In case you pop it to your ear mid-call, it’ll reroute the audio there immediately. An included USB dongle allows you to use it with a PC, and the sensors will automatically switch, say, your Skype status to ” In a choice” after you’re actually in a choice.

And for those trying to get even more intimate with their earpiece, the Voyager Pro’s ” Whisper Alerts” will quietly intone the subject lines of emails from a group group of Outlook VIPs on your ear without anyone being the wiser. Clever! Pricing and availability will likely be announced early next year. [ Plantronics ]
