Plantronics unveiled this week a new Bluetooth headset which is dual-mic developed for isolating voice signals. It is called the Voyager 835 and it will set you back around $120.
The Voyager 835 offers up something called Dual-Mic AudioIQ, “a combination of its proprietary DSP algorithm which intelligently optimizes audio levels and fidelity on both sides of a conversation, with precisely configured dual microphones to significantly reduce background noise.” The dual microphones reportedly work with one capturing voice while the other filters out background noise.
Other features of the 835 include contoured, universal-fit eartips, volume and call answer/end controls and the ability to take calls from any two Bluetooth phones. It should be available in October.

Plantronics comes back with a high quality Bluetooth headset. Dubbed as the Voyager 835, the headset uses the noise-canceling and dual-microphone technology that allows it to test and analyze background noise to provide clearest conversations. The Plantronics Voyager 835 is perfect for use in the moderate environments. The Plantronics Voyager 835 provides 5 days of standby and 5 hours of talk time. [Gearlog]

I have said it before, and I will say it again — PC gamers need a good set of headphones. Headphones are a great way to keep the neighbors/wife/girlfriend/mom from complaining every time you fire up Call of Duty to frag some noobs. Headphones also let you hear more nuances of the sound as well.
Plantronics makes all sorts of headphones and headsets for different tasks — including PC gaming. The latest gaming headphones from Plantronics are called the GameCom 777 and are connected to the PC and powered by one USB connection. The headphones have a built-in USB sound card and utilize Dolby Pro Logic II and virtual 5.1 surround sound.
For voice chats in game or other applications, a hide-away mic boom is offered that hides in the headband when not in use. The USB soundcard has in-line volume controls and a mute key for the mic. Plantronics says the headphones offer rich bass. The headset will be available in September for $99.99.

So while Vincent was at CTIA he managed to pick up one Plantronics’ latest headsets, the fashionable Discovery 925 that we wrote about earlier this week. Not only did we get his review of the product, some more shots, and even a video review, but we got some more info too.
First off, the 5 hour battery life isn’t quite accurate; V said he got almost 4 hours from the thing. Second, the VFrame boom design is a wind noise hazard, but it apparently wasn’t that bad as he didn’t knock it much. Also, fitting the 925 was apparently a task of its own since it didn’t have an ear hook, but instead opted for the in-ear design that worked in a weird way with those odd looking gel ear insert things.
However, there are only two buttons on the device which should make it incredibly easy to use. There is the volume button that cycles through three different volumes and then the other button that is used for power, to put the device into pairing mode, and to accept, reject, or end calls. My personal favorite part of this Bluetooth headset is that it apparently only blinks when you are doing something with it to make it blink, it doesn’t just randomly blink every few seconds just because it’s on like every other headset I’ve ever had, which is nice. The only other downside is that it costs $149.99, which is more than the Jawbone, and more than the BlueAnt Z9 which Vincent still contends is the best Bluetooth headset in existence.

Featuring Plantronics’ AudioIQ technology for clear calls, their VFrame structure, and an overall design more reminiscent of a piece of jewelry than that of a Bluetooth headset, this thing looks amazing. Even better yet, the little case that comes with it, isn’t just a case.
The case also charges the headset while its in your pocket, briefcase, or bag. There are three color choices that open up the headset to both men and women, there is Onyx Black, Alchemy Gold, and Cerise Pink, each with glass beads and a fire-blasted enamel-like finish.
The headset will give you 5 hours of talk time, and I’m sure that standby time is probably around 200 hours or something like that, meanwhile the case provides a long enough charge for another 5 hours of talk time, so with the combo you should be set for a full days worth of talking. They are calling it a “tech-cessory” due to its high technical functionality, extremely clear call quality, yet fashionable appearance, it will be available sometime this month fro $149.99.

With prices on HD DVD players in a perpetual state of free fall, it was only a matter of time before the slashings bled over to the other camp. Sure enough, Samsung’s fairly well spec’d BD-P1400 — which was announced at $549 and sold at $499 in late August — has sunk to $298.76 at Amazon. In case you needed a refresher, this one’s packing 1080p24 support, Dolby Digital Plug / True HD, DTS HD, HDMI 1.3, 1080p DVD upconversion and a pretty snazzy design, too. And hey, if you need extra incentive, there’s always the five free flicks that come along with it.
[Thanks, Adam]
