Plantronics has announced its new Bluetooth headset model, the Discovery 925 earpiece collection for both men and women. The Discovery 925 Bluetooth earpiece collection is a set of headsets which answer both design and performance needs of consumers today.

Released in unique palette of colors, Onxy Black, Alchemy Gold and Cerise Pink, the 925 earpiece was treated with glass beads and fire-blasted for a deep enamel-like finish. Plantronics must have forgotten that they were actually creating a Bluetooth headset and not a piece of fine jewelry when they created the Discovery 925 headsets. From the photos alone, the Discovery 925 headset definitely looks sleek and uber cool.

Plantronics has announced a new rugged “military grade” Bluetooth headset, the Explorer 370. While it’s really just another Bluetooth headset, the Explorer 370 has been tested and certified under MIL Spec 810, which means it is resistant to water, dust, and shock. Most readers will probably not put the “military grade” headset to its full limits but the 370 should be more than capable to stand up to heavy outdoor use without having to worry much about. In addition to being water, dust, and shock resistant the Explorer 370 also has a new “windscreen technology” to “ensure users experience clear calls no matter what the environment.“

The Explorer 370 also has the standard features to include volume controls, answer and end call controls, last-number redial and voice-activated dialing. It has a micro USB adapter for charging and offers up to seven hours of talk time and eights days on standby. The Explorer 370 Rugged will retail for $79.95 and hit the stores in March.

Keep an eye out for a full Gadgetell Review on the Explorer 370 shortly.
