Monthly Giveaways! July/August 2010

IN Plantronics, Voyager Pro, Contests

Win a set of the Voyager Pro hands-free kit courtesy of Plantronics! All you have to do is register yourself as a member of Burnpavement.com and answer a simple question below to qualify.

Firstly let's take a look at the aesthetics of this nifty little toy. At first glance, you might mistake the Voyager Pro to be an earpiece of a telemarketeer and it's hard not to think that way, but as we go through the gadget, bear in mind that this product is function over form, and after taking a few more glances, I am sure you will start to like it gradually. In terms of colour scheme, Plantronics has opted for a more sedate approach with the usage of black and gray, giving it a more business like look. As for overall design, the Voyager Pro is nowhere as compact as some other hands-free kits in the market such as the Plantronics Discovery 975, but compactness was never tops on the Voyager Pro's design team's list, but this is where functionality comes into play as the Voyager PRO is designed to cling snugly to the area behind your ear which is why it is a tad larger than other hands-free kits. The two main reasons for the Voyager Pro's design are firstly, the fitment of a battery as large as possible for usage durability and secondly, provide comfort during prolonged use.
