The previous Plantronics PRO model was a great success. It had an award winning, professional design, great sound quality, noise cancelation, and the love of many consumers.
It was a no brainer for Plantronics to introduce the Voyager PRO+. It's basically a beefed up model of the last version. Notable differences are included A2DP functionality, 1 year free Vocalyst subscription, visual + audio notification.
Check out the Voyager PRO+ features:
A2DP Functionality
The PRO+ is A2DP enabled. This stands for "Advanced Audio Distribution Profile" which means you can use this to stream whatever type of audio you wish to your bluetooth headset. Stream music, podcasts, even GPS directions and more depending on your phone's capabilities. The audio volume will adjust itself according to ambient noise so you can hear well regardless of your surroundings.
One-Year Free Subscription to Vocalyst
Vocalyst is a subscription from Plantronics for users in the USA only. It gives you a set of voice and text services you can use with your headset. This service is for those who want to further their "hands-free" usage. Use simple voice commands to have things read to you through your headset such as emails, texts, even a Twitter feed. You can even use this to reply to text messages!
There are more things you can do with it like listen to news, weather, and even record voice notes and have the audio sent to your e-mail. The text feature works with BlackBerry and Android phones. And the email services work only with Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo, which most people will have. With a whole year of free service included, this is icing on the cake.
Noise Cancelation
Noise cancelation is a must. Plantronics brought out their AudioIQ2 and three-layer WindSmart to bring a great audio experience to this premium headset.
Multipoint Technology
Another great feature from Plantronics is Multipoint Technology. This headset is geared with the capability of connecting to two bluetooth devices at once and let you answer or use both with ease. No more having to re-pair your headsets just to use a different phone!
Voice + Visual Notifications
Another luxurious feature on the PRO+ is voice and visual notifications. You'll be notified of certain things like when your phone connects, low battery, remaining talk time, and pairing. These are a great time saver, especially remaining talk time. You will never run out of batteries mid call again.
To top that off, visual notifications lets you show the battery level of the headset on your iPhone.
Voyager PRO+ Battery Life
Talk time: 6 hours
Standby time: 120 hours
It has exceptional battery life, comparable to that of the previous model.

Any Negatives About This Headset?
Again, some people may not be into the design of this headset since it is a bit larger. However, it is designed for balanced weight distribution and great comfort. One customer has noted a bad "call" button on the headset, but it is likely just a defective headset that can be exchanged easily.
Conclusion
It's another very solid headset from Plantronics that users are just in love with. Users in search of the "perfect" bluetooth headset as well as the "best A2DP" headset available happily end up with the Voyager PRO+.
