Plantronics today introduced the new Discovery 665 Bluetooth Headset with AudioIQ, a DSP (digital signal processing) sound technology to automatically optimize audio levels on both sides of every call.

For incoming calls, AudioIQ automatically adapts to background noise levels - from a quiet taxi to a noisy city street - and intelligently improves the receive quality, clarity and volume level. For outgoing calls, AudioIQ reduces background noise for listeners up to 7-8 decibels, or by approximately 50 percent. It also minimizes interference from artifacts such as speech distortions to maintain exceptionally clear voice intelligibility.

The new Discovery 665 includes Plantronics' QuickPair technology, which greatly simplifies the Bluetooth setup process for consumers by automatically initiating pairing mode (when powered) if no device history is present. Once paired successfully, the Bluetooth headset stays on for instant use. If not paired successfully, the headset automatically shuts off after 10 minutes; when powered again automatically goes into pairing mode until successfully paired with a Bluetooth capable phone. 

It will be available from February at around $149.95.
