New headset answers calls when put on 852 Filed under - Archived Content, Poly Plantronics has introduced a range of headsets with Smart Sensor technology. These headsets allow you to start taking calls as soon as the headset is put on. The new Blackwire 500 Series corded USB headset incorporates Smart Sensor technology enabling users to automatically connect to PC softphones like Lync or Skype. Answering a call becomes as easy as putting the headset on– no extra buttons to be pushed or steps to be taken. Philip Vanhoutte “Today’s office walls are being torn down, paving the way for mobile working and open office floor plans. IT departments need solutions for this new way of work and an intelligent endpoint to complete the UC system roll out,” said Philip Vanhoutte, senior vice president and managing director for Plantronics in Europe & Africa. “Expanding our headset offerings and incorporating Smart Sensor technology in the new Blackwire 500 headset provides an intuitive high-quality audio experience to those on PC calls.” The Voyager Legend UC and Blackwire 700 Series headsets use Smart Sensor technology which detects when the headset is being worn and automatically routes the audio – both for calls and media like iTunes or Spotify – from the mobile phone or PC to the headset whenever it is put on.
