The last time we looked at a Plantronics Voyager headset it was the Plantronics Voyager Pro UC v2 , and though it was pricy we were seriously impressed with the quality. On the surface the Plantronics Voyager Legend - priced at ￡89.99/US$99.99 and TBC in Australia - looks a lot like its predecessor,...

Plantronics has announced a successor to its flagship Voyager Pro hands-free kit, the Voyager Legend. The headset has three specially tuned microphones which optimise your voice and lead to the best possible call quality even when in noisy environments.

The Plantronics Voyager Legend ($99.99 direct) is a refinement and evolution of an award-winning design that just works. It's bigger than other Bluetooth headsets , but it sounds excellent and is comfortable to wear.

Stellar sound quality; Near-perfect hardware and voice controls; Magnetic charging connector; Comfortable design

Large; Mediocre wind resistance; Sensors don't always trigger properly

My first Bluetooth headset sounded rather lousy, and it required a Bluetooth dongle be plugged into the phone itself since it did not have integrated BT. The headset also had a long boom that reached toward my mouth. It looked… dumb.

Comfortable; 7 hours of talk time, 11 days of standby time; BT 3.0; Wideband audio; A2DP streaming; Multipoint; Headset battery meter; Battery case is great; Sound quality is excellent; A fantastic update to an already-impressive headset

Accessories add to the price fairly significantly (but IMO it is still a good deal

The $99.99 Plantronics Voyager Legend big boom microphone isn't for the fashion conscious but its superb call audio quality and comfortable fit make it an excellent buy.

Lighter and less bulky than other boom-style headsets; the Plantronics Voyager Legend has superb audio quality and a well-crafted; comfortable design.

The Plantronics Voyager Legend's big boom mic arm isn't compact; Its ear tips don't form a tight audio seal.

Even though I already have a built in microphone in my laptop and all I would really require is headphones, I find that if I actually have an external microphone then I can concentrate the sound into a specific area rather than just shouting into the air.

Large headsets are usually a pain to wear, and we were ready for the Voyager Pro's large size to present a significant quantity of earache. Surprisingly, it didn't, with a very comfortable fit just with the supplied medium-size ear buds.

Good noise reduction; Comfortable fit

Enormous retro design; No A2DP support

Pushing the limits of headset technology, the Voyager PRO is the most advanced noise-canceling Bluetooth headset available. Two noise-canceling mics on a boom, AudioIQ2 technology with its adaptive 20-band equalizer, and three layers of WindSmart technology ensure that you hear every word and that...

I bought this headset to work with my iPhone. I bought it on the salesperson's recommendation. I told him that I owned a Mustang and a Cavalier, both of which were loud cars and I needed something that had good noise cancellation and that I could turn up loud enough to hear over my cars engine/road...

Good noise cancellation; comfortable

Battery runs out too quickly; reliability issues

(2 items) A Bluetooth headset needs three things to be great: comfort, good audio quality and decent battery life. Plantronics' Voyager Pro hits it out of the ballpark on all counts.

Superb inbound and outbound call quality; Impressive handling of calls in windy environments

Bulky design overall; Some controls initially hard to find by feel
