CONCLUSION

   If i said that i was taken off guard by the overall performance of the Voyager Legend i would be lying since its predecessors have already set the bar high enough so it's somewhat natural that Plantronics would only release something better, at least in terms of performance. Now i say this because it's quite evident (by my comparison) that the design of both the volume and power switches is inferior to that of the ones used in the Voyager Pro HD while the new magnetic power connector is incompatible with the chargers/cables most smartphones use right now so if you lose that you will need to find an identical one which may prove somewhat hard (certainly harder than if it used a micro-USB port). As i already mentioned however the new volume/power switches may look worse and outdated compared to the ones of the Voyager Pro HD but they are far easier to use and that goes a long way with us. Also according to Plantronics the battery is good for up to 7 hours of continuous talk but in our tests with the volume set at maximum we hardly crossed the 6 hours mark (still better than most headsets out there including the Pro HD).

   The entire Voyager line never came cheap especially at launch and the Voyager Legend being the last and best couldn't really be an exception so currently it retails for around USD99 inside the USA (Best Buy/Amazon) and 75Euros inside the EU. Certainly for all of you who can't afford the Legend the Pro HD is also a good solution and retails at around USD30/20Euros less while sharing most of the features found on the Legend. Regardless, for us the Voyager Legend may not look just as good as its predecessor (at least the rear doesn't) but it's smaller, lighter, offers improved audio quality for both ends and even has an improved battery life, what more could we ask in order to give it our Platinum award?
