Hello Everyone, 

This is a quick follow-up to my BLOG post entitled “It’s Simply The Best Bluetooth, Baby” in which the Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth 2.1 headset is said to be the best device for superior call quality that money can buy. 

As a proud owner of the Voyager Pro, I am both surprised and delighted to inform you that all the hype is not an exaggeration, not in the least. 

Quite simply, the Plantronics Voyager Pro provides the best call quality I have ever experienced.

However, and yes, you knew there would be a “however”, didn’t you? 

OK, I’ll give it to you straight:

Even though the following is mentioned in the PC Magazine review listed in my previous post on this subject, please note that the Plantronics Voyager Pro is not A 2 D P compliant.  Consequently, it does not allow for stereo channel rendering.

This is particularly relevant to those of us using a software screen reader such as Code Factory’s Mobile Speak.

Why?

Because, with only one audio channel available, Mobile Speak will always revert back to the handset when a call is not in progress. 

Also, because of the device’s single channel, again, only when Mobile Speak is running, any device sounds including media playback will revert to the handset. 

So, My Dear Mobile Speak Moguls, if you want a Bluetooth headset that delivers the best call quality allowed by law, then the Plantronics Voyager Pro is definitely for you.  If you want a Bluetooth headset through which you may enjoy all of your wireless phone’s audio, but not necessarily with the highest level of call quality, then I suggest that you consider a different Bluetooth headset model.

Of course, you can do as I do and carry two Bluetooth headset devices, two wired headsets, two external Bluetooth GPS receivers, two fruit-flavored lollipops, and an extra phone battery everywhere you go. 

( I know, I know.  I need some serious help!)

Happy Listening, 

Mark
