Plantronics’ latest Bluetooth headset offering, the Discover 975, pairs the work ethic of the Plantronics Voyager Pro with the beauty and modern design of the Plantronics 925. Featuring WindSmart technology as well as AudioIQ², the Discovery 975 looks like a slightly updated version of the Discovery 925 with a long, slender mic boom that looks even more futuristic than its predecessor.

As far as a Bluetooth headset goes, the 975 offers the normal features like answering and ending calls, rejecting calls, last number redial, muting calls, voice-dial support, transferring calls to the phone and back as needed, and multipoint technology; which has become a very common feature on high-end Bluetooth headsets, allowing you to pair the headset with two handsets at the same time.

An added feature from the Discovery 925 are voice prompts, alerting you to battery status, Bluetooth connection status, as well as call muting and un-muting. The voice prompts are a welcome feature; especially on a headset without many controls. It’s nice that the headset warns you when you’re reaching the end of your handset’s Bluetooth range as well.

The Voyager Pro has excellent sound quality, but it’s a bulky design that isn’t discreet in the least. The Discovery 975 features all the noise controlling abilities of the Voyager Pro in a much smaller package, with a few design upgrades from the 925 version. Though the buttons aren’t as easy to use and it isn’t quite as comfortable as the Voyager Pro (assuming you don’t wear glasses, which some complain made it hard to find a good fit with the Voyager Pro), the 975 features a handy case like the 925 that can charge the headset three complete times before the case itself needs a recharge. The carrying case also features an LED light to alert the user to Bluetooth connection and battery status of the headset as well as the charging case. Along with an added lever to remove the headset from the carrying case, the Discovery 975 is a welcome addition to the Plantronics line-up.
