p-l.gifPlantronics has just unveiled a series of headsets including MX203S, the MX200 and MX250 for MP3-enabled cell phones which also feature the exclusive patented Wind Smart(R) technology. This technology is useful to those who are active like joggers or commuters. While the MX203S is capable of taking calls and listening to music, the MX200 and MX250 provide users a range of options for talking on cell phones. Music enabled headphones are in demand and according to some sources sales of music-enabled handsets will jump from $48 million in 2004 to $886 million in 2009.Thus the move by Plantronics doesn’t surprise anyone.

The MX203S includes Plantronics' Flex Grip(R) under-the-ear design for greater comfort and the WindSmart technology ensures clear conversations even when there is background noise. One can take calls while listening to music by simply touching a button. The MX200 headset sports a single earpiece design with WindSmart and the MX250 headset promises great audio quality and comes with a noise-canceling microphone. The MX203S has an estimated street price of US $29.99, the MX200 and MX250 would be available for US $19.95 and US $24.95 by next month.

According to Strategy Analytics, sales of music-enabled handsets will jump from $48 million in 2004 to $886 million in 2009. In North America alone, music-enabled handsets will account for 94.7 percent of total handset sales by 2009 (January 2006).
