Contact center jobs are not the easiest in the world. A customer has to wear headsets all day and talk and listen continuously, sometimes well beyond her stipulated hours. If the quality of headsets they use is not up to the mark, the contact center employee may even end up having health issues.


Plantronics has introduced a new family of headsets named Plantronics EncorePro 500 Series. It has a design that makes it easier to wear them all day long. Apart from an ergonomically comfortable design, it also provides superior noise cancellation and enhanced reliability features.

In conjunction with this the company also delivered its next-generation DA Series USB digital audio processors for Plantronics headsets. Together, these two products offer a more complete audio experience for the users, according to Plantronics.

Customer service representatives will certainly have a better on the job experience with these new headsets which should help in agent retention. Plus, Plantronics believes that the higher fidelity from the new audio processors can enable a better customer conversational experience. The series includes the following models: EncorePro 510/520 (dedicated over-the-head), EncorePro 530 (over-the-ear) and EncorePro 540 (convertible).

“We are building on the world’s most successful professional grade headset, the SupraPlus, and this is a challenge we did not take lightly.  Our deep understanding of the new business needs and role of Customer Service, and the availability of new materials, design philosophies, manufacturing techniques and core technologies resulted in a new portfolio that is not only state-of-the-art by today’s standards, but also future-proofed to adapt as the landscape changes,” said Bill Loewenthal, vice president, Enterprise Communications Solutions, Plantronics.
