THE VOYAGER LEGEND

I was happy to see that the design of the Legend is almost identical to the design of the Pro HD. However this time over the headset is quite smaller and weighs just 19g (with the pre-fitted silicon eartip).

To see just how smaller it is i placed the Voyager Legend right next to the Voyager Pro HD.

This time over Plantronics has used an triple-microphone featuring active DSP (Digital Signal Processing), adaptive 20 band equalizer, echo cancellation and sidetone detection. The design of the exterior also plays a significant part since thanks to the stainless steel area (windscreens) you can have calls even when on a bike.

The answer/end call button is quite small but faces towards the right direction (easier to use).

This is also the first time we see gel-like eartips with a Voyager headset and these actually look and feel better.

The Plantronics logo is placed vertically on the rear lower end of the headset.

Both the volume control and the power on/off switches are placed at the rear and this is where things get somewhat weird.

Above we have the volume controls for the Voyager Pro HD, quite nice looking right ? Bellow we have the new one which actually doesn't look just as good (seems like a step back in terms of design). However it really works better since it's easier to find with your fingers.

And then we have the on/off power button which looks great on the Voyager Pro HD but again looks worse on the Voyager Legend, however it's also easier to use.

My only real concern is the power connector since unlike the old micro-USB connector which ment you could recharge the Voyager Pro HD with any such adapter (that's today’s standard for most smartphones and headsets) the new one is actually magnetic and that means you can only use that to recharge the Voyager Legend.

Once you turn the headset on for the first time you will need to follow the voice instructions in order to pair it with your smartphone (should appear as PLT_Legend).
