GN Netcom, the world leader in innovative headset solutions through its Jabra products, recently announced the launch of the Jabra M5390 USB and BT530 USB Multiuse Bluetooth headsets. These headsets offer lightweight comfort and can pair with up to eight devices including PDA/cell phones and wideband PC soft- phones for the ultimate hands-free experience.

"People have embraced headsets for personal use, and now is the time for business professionals to leverage headsets for increased mobility and efficiency within their office environments," said David Grazio, Director of Channel Marketing, Contact Center and Office for GN Netcom, Inc. "These cutting-edge products have improved voice quality and noise elimination, enabling professionals to be hands-free so they can multitask."

These new USB based headsets can be paired to two devices at the same time. If the headset is paired to a cell phone and a wideband PC soft-phone, the user can easily answer whichever phone is ringing – with the same headset. If the headset is paired to a computer and a phone, the user can listen to music or videos on the PC and answer the phone without changing headsets.

Key features include long talk and standby times, and choice of wearing styles in a variety of sizes and styles so the headsets can be worn comfortably all day.
