Wind-Noise Reduction for Natural Conversations

Santa Cruz, Calif. - August 17, 2010- Plantronics® (NYSE: PLT) today announced the M100^TMBluetooth® Headset, an ultra-slim, lightweight headset that includes advanced technology to deliver clear and natural audio. One of the industry’s slimmest headsets - the device measures only 8mm thin - the M100 also delivers outstanding audio performance by incorporating dual microphones, wind-noise reduction and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.

The Plantronics M100 is very easy to setup and use, and includes convenient voice alerts for remaining talk-time, low-battery, mute, and connection status.
