The Pulsar™ 260 is a compact, high-performing pod with Bluetooth® technology and corded stereo ear-buds – custom designed for the increasing number of people who want to use their mobile phone as a music player but don’t want to miss calls. The pod enables you to change track and volume without touching the phone (or other Bluetooth stereo device). When a call comes in, the music is paused automatically and you answer the call simply by pressing a button on the corded headset. It is lighter and more discreet than over-the-head or behind-the-neck style headsets, plus you can also use the headset in-car simply by removing an ear bud.

Featuring a discreet, lightweight pendant-plus-earphones design, the Pulsar 260 allows users to wirelessly switch back and forth between conversations and streaming music up to 33 feet away from a Bluetooth device. The intuitive central control panel allows users to wirelessly navigate through track selections and guide volume without ever touching the phone.
Review By Plantronics
As consumers become increasingly familiar with portable multimedia content —music, video games and videos — digital stereo listening is becoming a primary purchase driver for mobile phones,” said Renee Niemi, general manager and vice president of Mobile and Entertainment at Plantronics. “Media enabled handsets are expected to significantly outsell standalone portable music players in the near future – a trend that Plantronics expects to become a catalyst for high quality, audio-plus-voice headset accessories.”

The Pulsar 260 uses a technology called Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, or A2DP. A2DP enables users to listen to stereo music wirelessly, while at the same time allowing them to interrupt the music to take a call. Typically, users would need to use a separate Bluetooth headset for calls and dedicated headphones for their music. A2DP merges these functions into one headset. Of course, one needs to have an A2DP-capable phone to take advantage of this technology.

The pendant resembles a small MP3 player given that it has a familiar button configuration that includes volume up/down and prev / next track options. The middle of the 4-way button is a mute button. A vertical LED next to the button blinks Blue while powered on, Blue/Red during pairing and Red while charging.

As high speed multimedia phones gain traction, I’m believing that more headsets like the Pulsar 260 will be commonplace in the near future. I found it fascinating that Plantronics jumped to the forefront with a pretty good stereo headset that delivers the goods for other manufacturers to emulate. As we become even more mobile with enjoying our music and conversing on multimedia phones, freedom from the wired direct connect around our personal body space for physical mobility I suspect will be a requested feature. I can’t wait to see if the Pulsar® 260 is compatible with Apple’s iPhone!
