Plantronics' M1500 Cordless Headset Solution with Bluetooth wireless technology has been unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2002 in Las Vegas. The M1500 includes a cordless headset and a new Bluetooth adapter that plugs directly into the headset jack of most cellular phones.

The M1500 cordless headset has been designed for the mobile professional market, defined as individuals who use their cell phone more than 67% of the time for business, with minutes of use greater than 500 minutes a month.

The lightweight M1500 headset provides exceptional fit and comfort with a unique conformable earloop that can be shaped to fit any ear. Controls are incorporated into the headset, so the user can answer or end a call by simply pressing the Answer/End button on the headset. Volume and mute controls are also located on the headset.

The M1500 package, including the headset and adapter, delivers up to 3 hours of talk time, up to 72 hours of standby time, and a recharge-time of just one hour. The M1500 headset is fully compliant with version 1.1 of the Bluetooth specification and supports the headset profile. The headset and adapter communicate via the standard 2.4 GHz Bluetooth link, which provides clear digital audio, a range up to 30 feet, and advanced encryption for secure communication.

The M1500 headset comes paired with the matchbook-size Bluetooth adapter, so the two devices can immediately communicate without the need for user setup. The M1500 also comes with an AC adapter.

Plantronics plans to announce pricing and availability information for the M1500 Cordless Headset Solution at the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) show, March 18-20, 2002 in Orlando, Florida and at the CeBIT show, March 13-20, 2002 in Hannover, Germany.
